2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE evic system

The Uconnect® Phone is driven through your
Bluetooth® “Hands-Free profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect® Phone features Bluetooth® technol-
ogy - the global standard that enables different
electronic devices to connect to each other with-
out wires or a docking station, so Uconnect®
Phone works no matter where you stow your
mobile phone (be it your purse, pocket, or brief-
case), as long as your phone is turned on and has
been paired to the vehicle’s Uconnect® Phone.
The Uconnect® Phone allows up to seven mobile
phones to be linked to the system. Only one
linked (or paired) mobile phone can be used with
the Uconnect® Phone at a time. The Uconnect®
Phone is available in English, Dutch, French,
German, Italian or Spanish languages (as
equipped).
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
all applicable laws. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the vehicle. Fail-
ure to do so may result in a collision causing
serious injury or death.Uconnect® Phone Button

OperationVoice commands can be used to operate 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 another prompt.
• For certain operations, compound com-
mands can be used. For example, instead of
saying “Setup” and then “Pair a Device”, the
following compound command can be said:
“Pair a Bluetooth® Device”.
•
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 command
when you are asked for it. For example, you
can use the compound 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 conversational tone,
as if speaking to someone sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.

recognize user voice commands may be
negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
all applicable laws. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the vehicle. Fail-
ure to do so may result in a collision causing
serious injury or death.
When you press the Voice Command

Automatic Headlights — If EquippedThis system automatically turns the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To
turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch
to the A (AUTO) position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay
feature is also on. This means the headlights
will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn
the ignition switch to the OFF position. To turn
the automatic headlights off, turn the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will turn on in the Automatic Mode.
Headlights On Automatically With
Wipers
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Head-
lights, it also has this customer-programmable
feature. When your headlights are in the auto-
matic mode and the engine is running, they will
automatically turn on when the wiper system is
on. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable Features” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensi-
tive Wiper System” and it is activated, the
headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within approxi-
mately one minute, and they will turn off ap-
proximately four minutes after the wipers com-
pletely stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers and
Washers” in this section for further information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the instrument panel lights will
automatically dim to the lower nighttime
intensity. Refer to “Lights” in this section for
further information.
SmartBeam™ — If EquippedThe SmartBeam™ system provides increased
forward lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This cam-
era detects vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
•If the windshield or SmartBeam™ mirror
is replaced, the SmartBeam™ mirror must
be re-aimed to ensure proper perfor-
mance. See your local authorized dealer.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights
and taillights of vehicles in the field of
view will cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions (sticker, toll
box, etc.) on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Enable the Automatic High Beams. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Customer-Programmable Features” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO head-
light position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you
(toward front of vehicle) to engage the high
beam mode.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might not
see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
MistUse the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers neces-
sary. Rotate the end of the lever downward to
the Mist position and release for a single wiping
cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.Rain Sensing Wipers — If EquippedThis feature senses moisture on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers for the
driver. The feature is especially useful for road
splash or overspray from the windshield wash-
ers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to one of five settings to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay posi-
tion 1 is the least sensitive, and wiper delay
position 5 is the most sensitive. Setting 3 should
be used for normal rain conditions. Settings 1and 2 can be used if the driver desires less
wiper sensitivity. Setting 5 can be used if the
driver desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper
switch in the OFF position when not using the
system.
NOTE:
•
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate
when the wiper switch is in the low or
high-speed position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not func-
tion properly when ice, or dried salt water
is present on the windshield.
• Use of Rain-X® or products containing
wax or silicone may reduce Rain Sensing
performance.
•
A customer programmable feature in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) allows the Rain Sensing feature to
be turned off. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Set-
tings (Customer-Programmable Features)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
