A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS
Your vehicle is equipped with a key-
less ignition system. This system con-
sists of a Key Fob with Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) transmitter and a
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with
integral ignition switch. You can in-
sert the Key Fob into the ignition
switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature
This vehicle may be equipped with
the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, refer
to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa-
tion.WIRELESS IGNITION
NODE (WIN)
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) op-
erates similarly to an ignition switch.
It has four operating positions, three
with detents and one that is spring-
loaded. The detent positions are OFF,
ACC, and ON/RUN. The START po-
sition is a spring-loaded momentary
contact position. When released from
the START position, the switch auto-
matically returns to the ON/RUN po-
sition.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go, the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display the ignition
switch position (OFF/ACC/RUN).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
Key Fob
The Key Fob operates the ignition
switch. Insert the square end of the
Key Fob into the ignition switch lo-
cated on the instrument panel and
rotate to the desired position. It also
contains the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and an emergency
key, which stores in the rear of the Key
Fob.

within a specified vehicle speed range.
In order to detect a range of pedestri-
ans, other objects that are impacted
may result in an Active Hood deploy-
ment.
Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Electronic Pedestrian Protection
Module (EPPM) determines if deploy-
ment of the actuators in a frontal im-
pact is required. Based on the impact
sensors signals, the EPPM determines
when to deploy the actuators. The
impact sensors are located within the
front bumper area.
The EPPM monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.
The EPPM contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.Service Active Hood System
If the EPPM has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag-
nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re-
cord the nature of the malfunction. If
the Air Bag Warning Light is illumi-
nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.
In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac-
tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.42

OPERATION
Voice commands can be used to oper-
ate the Uconnect™ Phone and to
navigate through the Uconnect™
Phone menu structure. Voice com-
mands are required after most
Uconnect™ Phone prompts. You will
be prompted for a specific command
and then guided through the available
options.
Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for the beep, which
follows the “Ready” prompt or an-
other prompt.
For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For ex-
ample, instead of saying “Setup”
and then “Phone Pairing”, the fol- lowing compound command can be
said: “Setup Phone Pairing”.
For each feature explanation in this section, only the compound form of
the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into
parts and say each part of the com-
mand when you are asked for it.
For example, you can use the com-
pound form voice command
“Phonebook New Entry”, or you
can break the compound form
command into two voice com-
mands: “Phonebook” and “New
Entry”. Please remember, the
Uconnect™ Phone works best
when you talk in a normal conver-
sational tone, as if speaking to
someone sitting a few meters away
from you.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree.”
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt,
or if you want to know your options at
any prompt, say “Help” following the
beep. The Uconnect™ Phone will
play all the options at any prompt if
you ask for help.

Pair (Link) Uconnect™ Phone To
A Mobile Phone
To begin using your Uconnect™
Phone, you must pair your compat-
ible Bluetooth® enabled mobile
phone (refer to “Compatible Phones”
section to learn about the phone
type).
