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.

WARNING!
•Do not place items over the top of the
Active Head Restraint, such as coats, seat
covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Active Head Restraint in the event of a
collision and could result in serious injury
or death.
• Active Head Restraints may be deployed if
they are struck by an object such as a
hand, foot or loose cargo. To avoid acci-
dental deployment of the Active Head Re-
straint ensure that all cargo is secured, as
loose cargo could contact the Active Head
Restraint during sudden stops. Failure to
follow this warning could cause personal
injury if the Active Head Restraint is de-
ployed. Head Restraints — Rear Seats
The head restraints on the outboard seats are
not adjustable. They automatically fold forward
when the rear seat is folded to a load floor
position but do not return to their normal posi-
tion when the rear seat is raised. After returning
either seat to its upright position, raise the head
restraint until it locks in place. The outboard
headrests are not removable.
The center head restraint has limited adjust-
ment. Lift upward on the head restraint to raise
it, or push downward on the head restraint to
lower it.WARNING!
Sitting in a seat with the head restraint in its
lowered position could result in serious injury
or death in a collision. Always make sure the
outboard head restraints are in their upright
positions when the seat is to be occupied.
NOTE:
For proper routing of a Child Seat Tether
refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things to
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.

VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT
SYSTEM (VES™) — IF
EQUIPPED
Your rear seat Video Entertainment System
(VES™) is designed to give your family years of
enjoyment. You can play your favorite CDs or
DVDs, listen to audio over the wireless head-
phones, or plug and play a variety of standard
video games or audio devices. Please review
this Owner’s Manual to become familiar with its
features and operation.
System OverviewThe rear seat Video Entertainment System
(VES™) consists of:
•Your vehicle may be equipped with a single
LCD overhead console screen system.
• One infrared remote control to allow rear seat
audio and video control function capability of
the VES™. •
Two infrared wireless dual channel head-
phones for rear passenger listening.
• Auxiliary RCA audio/video inputs (AUX jacks)
for listening and viewing of other consumer
electronic device media such as MP3 players
or video games.
• Radio capable of playing DVDs.
Video Entertainment System (VES™)This manual is intended to aid with the opera-
tion of the rear seat Video Entertainment Sys-
tem (VES™).
The Video Entertainment System (VES™) ex-
pands the vehicle’s audio and video capabilities
so that rear passengers can enjoy movies,
music and external audio/video devices such as
video games or MP3 players. The VES™ inte-
grates seamlessly with the vehicle’s radio so the
audio may be heard through the cabin speakers
and/or headphones. The system may be con-
trolled by the radio for front seat occupants or
controlled by the remote control for rear seat
occupants. The VES™ is a dual channel system. The video
screen displays information in a split screen
format. The left side of the screen is referred to
as Channel 1 and the right side of the screen is
referred to as Channel 2. All modes except
video modes (DVD video, Aux video) are dis-
played in a split screen format. When a video
mode is displayed it is displayed on the full
screen. The remote control is designed to con-
trol either channel by the use of the selector
switch located on the right side of the remote
control. The headphones are designed to listen
to either channel by use of the selector switch
located on the right ear cup.
Using the included dual channel wireless head-
phones, the VES™ allows rear passengers to
listen to two different audio sources simultane-
ously. The wireless remote control allows rear
passengers to change stations, tracks, discs
and audio/video modes.

Video Screen Operation
Displaying VideoThe video screen has two different operating
modes, a video mode (when displaying video
such as DVD video, Aux video, etc.) and an
information mode as shown in Figure 5. Because
the VES™ is a dual channel system, Information
Mode is displayed in a split screen format. When

referred to as Channel 1 and the right side of the
screen is referred to as Channel 2.
Only Channel 1 displays video images. When in
video mode the image is displayed on the full

screen is displayed momentarily over the video
image. While in video mode and Channel 2 is
selected on the remote control selector switch,
the first remote control key press will activate
the popup banner indicating Channel 2’s status.
While the banner is still visible, any subsequent
remote control key press for Channel 2 shall
initiate the requested remote control command.In a two-screen system, the video for Channel 1
is displayed on the first rear seat screen and the
video for Channel 2 is displayed on the second
rear seat screen. Information Mode is displayed
in split screen, the left side of the screen
(Channel 1) shows the status/mode of the first
rear seat screen and the right side of the screen
(Channel 2) shows the status/mode of the sec-
ond rear seat screen.
When Channel 1 is in a video mode, the image
is displayed on the first rear seat screen as a full
screen image. A popup banner at the bottom of
the screen is displayed momentarily over the
video image showing any change in status of
Channel 2.When Channel 2 is in video mode, the image is
displayed on the second rear seat screen as a
full screen image. A popup banner at the bottom
