WARNING!(Continued)
•Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the
driver footwell while the vehicle is moving. Objects
can become trapped under the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
• If required, mounting posts must be properly in-
stalled, if not equipped from the factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or
mounting can cause interference with the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of
control of the vehicle.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make Outside
The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness. Check the tires
(including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake lights and
exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn
signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument
panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel,
engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline
fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be
located and corrected immediately.

Uconnect® Voice Command ButtonThe Uconnect® Voice Command
Button is
only used for “barge in” and when you are
already in a call and you want to send Tones or
make another call.
The
button is also used to access the Voice Com-
mands for the Uconnect® Voice Command features if
your vehicle is equipped. Please see the Uconnect® Voice
Command section for direction on how to use the
button.
The Uconnect® Phone is fully integrated with the ve-
hicles audio system. The volume of the Uconnect® Phone
can be adjusted either from the radio volume control
knob or from the steering wheel radio control (right
switch), if so equipped.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the Uconnect®
Phone and to navigate through the Uconnect® Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are required after most
Uconnect® Phone prompts. There are two general meth-
ods for how Voice Command works:
1. Say compound commands like “Call John Smith mo- bile”.
2. Say the individual commands and allow the system to guide you to complete the task.
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 “Listen” prompt or another
prompt.

NOTE:
1. You can replace “John Smith” with any name in yourmobile or favorite phone book. You can also say “Send
a message to John Smith” and the system will ask you
which phone number you want to send a message to
for John Smith.
2. You can replace “Mobile” with “Home”, “Work” or “Other”.
3. You can replace “Incoming Calls” with “Outgoing Calls” or “Missed Calls”.
4. You can replace “248 555 1212” with any phone number supported by your Mobile phone.
5. These commands can be used during a phone call after pushing the Uconnect® Voice Command button on
the steering wheel. Please note the call will be muted
while the VR session is active.
6. Send dial tones for automated systems is available while a call is active. This is an example that uses a
Phonebook Record named “Voicemail Password.” 7. Storing Dial tones in contact names is possible but
only the first number encountered in a contact name
will be sent. For example if there is a number stored in
the Home and Work numbers for the contact “Voice-
mail password” only the Home number will be sent
8. If your phone does not support phonebook download or call log download over Bluetooth® then these
commands will return a response that the contact does
not exist in the phonebook.
9. Emergency and Towing assistance are contacts that have been pre-loaded in the phonebooks. Commands
such as “Call Emergency” and “Call Towing Assis-
tance” will call the corresponding number stored with
those contacts.
