•With the Speed Control on, push and release
the SET – button to set a desired speed.
Accel/Decel
• Once a speed is set, pushing the RES + button once or the SET – button once will increase
or decrease the set speed approximately 1 mph (2 km/h).
• Push and hold the RES + button to accelerate in 5 mph (8 km/h) increments or push and hold the SET – button to decelerate in 5 mph (8 km/h) increments; release the button to
save the new set speed.

WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic Speed Control system
off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

Bluetooth® STREAMING AUDIO
• If equipped with Uconnect® Voice Com-mand, your Bluetooth-equipped iPod®
devices, cell phones or other media play-
ers, may also be able to stream music to
your vehicles speakers. Your connected
device must be Bluetooth-compatible,
and paired with your radio (see Uconnect®
Phone for pairing instructions).
• Non-Touch-Screen Radios: Press the
“AUX” button on the radio faceplate until "BT" or “Audio Streaming” is displayed on the
radio screen.
• Touch-Screen-Radios: Press the “RADIO/MEDIA” or “MEDIA” hard-key and then touch
the “AUX” soft-key tab.
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER (EVIC)
• The EVIC features a driver interactive dis- play that is located in the instrument
cluster. Pressing the controls on the left
side of the steering wheel allows the
driver to select vehicle information and
Personal Settings. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Programmable Fea-
tures” located in this guide.
• Press and release the MENU button to advance the display to Trip Functions or
Personal settings or to return to the de-
fault System status display.
• Press and release the DOWN
button to advance the display through the various Trip
Functions or Personal Settings.
• Press and release the COMPASS
button to display the compass heading and the
outside temperature.
• Press and release the SELECT
button to accept a selection. The SELECT Button also
resets various Trip Functions.
Compass Calibration
• This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manu- ally. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will display
“CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
• You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in the
EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

including the telephone number from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
•
You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel
you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent, we will contact local
police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains
on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilo-
meters) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you do not operate the
vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash during accel-
eration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to
adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. The light also flashes
when TCS is active. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand
or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system to Partial Off mode by momen-
tarily pressing the ESC Off
switch.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Moni- toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of
your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE
AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE
PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
