the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN position.

Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place
the blower control on high speed. You should be able to feel
the air directed against the windshield. See your autho-
rized dealer for service if your defroster is inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit the footwell 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 per-
sonal injury.
•Always make sure that floor mats are properly
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 interfer-
ing with the pedals or the ability to control the
vehicle.
• Never put floor mats or other floor coverings 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.

Working with Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one generally has
to press numbers on the mobile phone keypad while
navigating through an automated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect® Phone to access a voice mail
system or an automated service, such as a paging service

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 pound, (3746#),you
can press the
button and say, “3746#Send”.
Saying a number, or sequence of numbers, followed by
“Send”, is also to be used for navigating through an
automated customer service center menu structure, and
to leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect® Phonebook 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.
