MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night MirrorA single ball joint mirror is provided in the
vehicle. It is a twist on mirror that has a fixed
position at the windshield. The mirror installs on
the windshield button with a counterclockwise
rotation and requires no tools for mounting. The
mirror head can be adjusted up, down, left, and
right for various drivers. The mirror should be
adjusted to center on the view through the rear
window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can
be reduced by moving the small control under
the mirror to the night position (toward the rear
of the vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while the small control under the mirror is set in
the day position (toward the windshield).
Automatic Dimming Mirror — If
Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight
glare from vehicles behind you. You can turn the
feature on or off by pressing the button at the
base of the mirror. A light in the button will
illuminate to indicate when the dimming feature
is activated. The mirror is twisted on the wind-
shield button counterclockwise and requires no
tools for mounting.NOTE:
This feature is disabled when the vehicle is
moving in reverse.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during clean-
ing, never spray any cleaning solution di-
rectly onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto
a clean cloth and wipe the mirror clean.

Voice Command
•For best performance, adjust the rearview
mirror to provide at least ½ in (1 cm) gap
between the overhead console (if equipped)
and the mirror.
• Always wait for the beep before speaking.
• Speak normally, without pausing, just as you
would speak to a person sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
• Make sure that no one other than you is
speaking during a voice period.
• Performance is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions.
• Even though the system is designed for
users speaking in European English, Dutch,
French, German, Italian, or Spanish accents,
the system may not always work for some. •
When navigating through an automated sys-
tem such as voice mail, or when sending a
page, at the end of speaking the digit string,
make sure to say “Send”.
• Storing names in the phonebook when the
vehicle is not in motion is recommended.
• It is not recommended to store similar sound-
ing names in the Uconnect® Phonebook.
• Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect®
Phone Local) recognition rate is optimized
when the entries are not similar.
• Numbers must be spoken in single digits.
“800” must be spoken “eight-zero-zero” not
“eight hundred”.
• You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).
• Even though international dialing for most
number combinations is supported, some
shortcut dialing number combinations may
not be supported.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down. Phone Far End Audio Performance
•
Audio quality is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions, and
• operation from the driver seat.
• Performance, such as audio clarity, echo,
and loudness to a large degree rely on the
phone and network, and not the Uconnect®
Phone.
• Echo at the phone far end can sometimes be
reduced by lowering the in-vehicle audio
volume.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down.

VOICE COMMAND — IF
EQUIPPED
Voice Command System Operation
The Uconnect® Voice Command sys-
tem allows you to control your AM,
FM radio, disc player, USB Mass
Storage Class device, iPod® family of
devices, Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
device, and a memo recorder.
NOTE:
Take care to speak into the Voice Interface
System as calmly and normally as possible.
The ability of the Voice Interface System to
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
but-
ton, you will hear a beep. The beep is your
signal to give a command.
NOTE:
If you do not say a command within a few
seconds, the system will present you with a
list of options. If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it
lists options, press the Voice Command
button, listen for the beep, and say your
command.
Pressing the Voice Command
button while
the system is speaking is known as “barging in.”
The system will be interrupted, and after the
beep, you can add or change commands. This
will become helpful once you start to learn the
options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words “Can-
cel”, “Help” or “Main Menu”.
These commands are universal and can be
used from any menu. All other commands can
be used depending upon the active application.
When using this system, you should speak
clearly and at a normal speaking volume.
The system will best recognize your speech if
the windows are closed, and the heater/air
conditioning fan is set to low.
At any point, if the system does not recognize
one of your commands, you will be prompted to
repeat it.

the Voice Training session should be completed
when the vehicle is parked, engine running, all
windows closed, and the blower fan switched
off. This procedure may be repeated with a new
user. The system will adapt to the last trained
voice only.
SEATS
Seats are part of the Occupant Restraint Sys-
tem of the vehicle.

your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Power Seats — If EquippedSome models may be equipped with eight-way
power driver and front passenger seats. The

Wind BuffetingWind buffeting can be described as the percep-
tion of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type
sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind
buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof
(if equipped) in certain open or partially openpositions. This is a normal occurrence and can
be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear windows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.
Sunroof MaintenanceUse only a nonabrasive cleaner and a soft cloth
to clean the glass panel.
