Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit the foot-
well of your vehicle. Use only floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed and that are
firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals or impair
safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can cause
loss of vehicle control and increase the risk
of serious personal injury.
•
Always make sure that floor mats are prop-
erly attached to the floor mat fasteners.
•Never place or install floor mats or other
floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot
be properly secured to prevent them from
moving and interfering with the pedals or
the ability to control the vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Never put floor mats or other floor cover-
ings on top of already installed floor mats.
Additional floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal area and
interfere with the pedals.
• Check mounting of mats on a regular
basis. Always properly reinstall and secure
floor mats that have been removed for
cleaning.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall
into the driver footwell while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• If required, mounting posts must be prop-
erly installed, if not equipped from the
factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installa-
tion or mounting can cause interference with
the brake pedal and accelerator pedal opera-
tion 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 park-
ing 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.

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
The radio or steering wheel con-
trols (if equipped) will contain the
two control buttons (Uconnect®
Phone
button and Voice Com-
mandbutton) that will enable
you to access the system. When you press the
button you will hear the word Uconnect® fol-
lowed by a BEEP. The beep is your signal to
give a command.
Voice Command Button
Actual button location may vary
with radio. The individual buttons
are described in the “Operation”
section.
The Uconnect® Phone can be used with
Hands-Free Profile certified Bluetooth® mobile
phones. Some phones may not support all the
Uconnect® Phone features. Refer to your mo-
bile service provider or the phone manufacturer
for details. The Uconnect® Phone is fully integrated with
the vehicle’s 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, if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts
from the Uconnect® Phone such as CELL or
caller ID on certain radios.
Compatible Phones* The Uconnect® Phone requires a mobile
phone equipped with the Bluetooth® “Hands-
Free Profile”, version 1.0 or higher.
See
Uconnect® website for supported phones.
• www.UconnectPhone.com
To find the list of compatible phones navigate
through the following menus:
• Select model year for the vehicle
• Select type of the vehicle
• In the getting started tab, select compatible
phones

When calling a number with your Uconnect®
Phone that normally requires you to enter in a
touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone
keypad, you can press the
button and say
the sequence you wish to enter followed by the
word “Send”. For example, if required to enter
your PIN followed with a hash, (3746#),you
can press the
button and say, “3746#
Send”. Saying a number, or sequence of num-
bers, followed by “Send”, is also to be used for
navigating through an automated customer ser-
vice center menu structure, and to leave a
number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect® Phone-
book entries as tones for fast and easy access
to voice mail and pager entries. To use this
feature, dial the number you wish to call and
then press the
button and say “Send.” The
system will prompt you to enter the name or
number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The Uconnect® Phone
will then send the corresponding phone number
associated with the phonebook entry, as tones
over the phone. NOTE:
•
You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations;
this is normal.
• Some paging and voice mail systems
have system time out settings that are too
short and may not allow the use of this
feature.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Command” button can be used
when you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immediately. For
example, if a prompt is asking “Would you like to
pair a phone, clear a…,” you could press the
button and say, “Pair a Phone” to select
that option without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system from confirming your choices (e.g., the
Uconnect® Phone will not repeat a phone num-
ber before you dial it).
• Press the
button to begin. •
After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say:
• “Setup Confirmations Prompts On”
• “Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
Phone And Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium
display such as the instrument panel cluster, and
supported by your mobile phone, the Uconnect®
Phone will provide notification to inform you of
your phone and network status when you are
attempting to make a phone call using Uconnect®
Phone. The status is given for network signal
strength, phone battery strength, etc.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile
phone keypad and still use the Uconnect®
Phone (while dialing via the mobile phone key-
pad, the user must exercise caution and take
precautionary safety measures). By dialing a
number with your paired Bluetooth® mobile
phone, the audio will be played through your
vehicle’s audio system. The Uconnect® Phone
will work the same as if you dial the number
using Voice Command.
