consists of a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with
integral ignition switch. You can insert the Key Fob into
the ignition switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-N-Go™
feature, refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting And
Operating” for further information.
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similar to an
ignition switch. It has four operating positions, three of
which are detented and one spring-loaded. The detented
positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position.
When released from the START position, the switch
automatically returns to the detented ON/RUN position.
NOTE:With the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ feature, the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display the

UconnectPhone — IF EQUIPPED
UconnectPhone is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-
vehicle communications system. Uconnect Phone al-
lows you to dial a phone number with your mobile
phone using simple voice commands (e.g., “Call” \b
“Mike” \b“Work” or “Dial” \b“248-555-1212”). Your
mobile phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehi-
cle’s audio system; the system will automatically mute
your radio when using the Uconnect Phone.
NOTE: The Uconnect Phone requires a mobile phone
equipped with the Bluetooth “Hands-Free Profile”,
Version 0.96 or higher. See the Uconnect website for
supported phones. For Uconnect
customer support, visit www.Uconnect-
Phone.com or call 1–877–855–8400.
Uconnect Phone allows you to transfer calls between the
system and your mobile phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle and enables you to mute the system’s microphone
for private conversation.
The Uconnect Phone is driven through your Bluetooth
“Hands-Free Profile” mobile phone. Uconnect features
Bluetooth technology - the global standard that enables
different electronic devices to connect to each other
without wires or a docking station, so Uconnect Phone
works no matter where you stow your mobile phone (be
it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), 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 the3

system at a time. The system is available in English,
Spanish, or French languages.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding phone use. All atten-
tion should be focused on safely operating the ve-
hicle. Failure to do so may result in a collision
causing serious injury or death.

will contain the two control buttons (Uconnect 
Phone
button and Voice Command
button) that will enable you to access the
system. When you press the button you will hear the
word Uconnect followed by a BEEP. The beep is your
signal to give a command. Voice Command Button
Actual button location may vary with the ra-
dio. The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” section.

Profile certified Bluetooth mobile phone. See the
Uconnect website for supported phones. Refer to your
mobile service provider or the phone manufacturer for
details.
The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle’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 (right
switch), 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.

priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven mobile
phones to your Uconnect Phone. However, at any
given time, only one mobile phone can be in use,
connected to your Uconnect System. The priority
allows the Uconnect Phone to know which mobile
phone to use if multiple mobile phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three
and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the
Uconnect Phone will use the priority three mobile
phone when you make a call. You can select to use a
lower priority mobile phone at any time (refer to
“Advanced Phone Connectivity” in this section).
