person you want to call. For ex-
ample, you can say “John Doe”,
where John Doe is a previously
stored name entry in the Uconnect™ Phonebook or downloaded phone-
book. To learn how to store a name
in the phonebook , refer to “Add
Names to Your Uconnect™
Phonebook”.
The Uconnect™ Phone will con-
firm the name and then dial the
corresponding phone number,
which may appear in the display of

Add Names To Your Uconnect™
Phonebook
NOTE: Adding names to the
Uconnect™ Phonebook is recom-
mended when the vehicle is not in
motion.
Press the
button to begin.
After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Phonebook
New Entry”.
When prompted, say the name of the new entry. Use of long names
helps the Voice Command and it is
recommended. For example, say
“Robert Smith” or “Robert” in-
stead of “Bob”.
When prompted, enter the number
designation (e.g., “Home”, “Work”,
“Mobile”, or “Other”). This will al-
low you to store multiple numbers
for each phonebook entry, if desired. When prompted, recite the phone
number for the phonebook entry
that you are adding.
After you are finished adding an entry
into the phonebook, you will be given
the opportunity to add more phone
numbers to the current entry or to
return to the main menu.
The Uconnect™ Phone will allow you
to enter up to 32 names in the phone-
book with each name having up to
four associated phone numbers and
designations. Each language has a
separate 32-name phonebook acces-
sible only in that language. In addi-
tion, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided, and supported by your phone,
Uconnect™ Phone automatically
downloads your mobile phone’s
phonebook.

Paging
To learn how to page, refer to “Work-
ing with Automated Systems”. Paging
works properly except for pagers of
certain companies, which time out a
little too soon to work properly with
the Uconnect™ Phone.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice
mail, refer to “Working with Auto-
mated Systems”.
Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances
where one generally has to press num-
bers on the mobile phone keypad
while navigating through an auto-
mated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect™ Phone
to access a voice mail system or an
automated service, such as a paging
service or automated customer ser-
vice. Some services require immediate
response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the
Uconnect™ Phone.When calling a number with your
Uconnect™ Phone that normally re-
quires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your mobile phone key-
pad, you can press the
button
and say the sequence you wish to en-
ter followed by the word “Send”. For
example, if required to enter your PIN
followed with a hash, (3 7 4 6 #), you
can press the
button and say, “3
7 4 6 # Send”. Saying a number, or
sequence of numbers, followed by
“Send”, is also to be used for navigat-
ing 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 phone-
book 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 sys- tems have system time out set-
tings 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 com-
mand 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.

If LOW-level heating is selected, the
system automatically turns the heater
and the indicator light OFF after a
maximum of 45 minutes of continuous
operation.NOTE: Once a heat setting is se-
lected, heat will be felt within two
to five minutes.WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feelpain to the skin because of ad-
vanced age, chronic illness, dia-
betes, spinal cord injury, medica-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must ex-
ercise care when using the seat
heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cush-
ion. This may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to
the increased surface tempera-
ture of the seat. RECLINER ADJUSTMENT
The recliner control is on the out-
board side of the seat. To recline the
seat, lean forward slightly and lift the
lever. Then lean back to the position
desired and release the lever. To re-
turn the seatback to its normal up-
right position, lean forward and lift
the lever. Release the lever once the
seatback is in the upright position.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while the vehicle
is moving is dangerous. The sud-
den movement of the seat could
cause you to lose control. The seat
belt might not be properly ad-
justed and you could be injured.

25. Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale LightEach tire, including the
spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the in-
flation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Ac-
cordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctionsmay occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when us-
ing replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire seal-
ant from a can or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.

Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or
REVERSE when the accelerator
pedal is released and the vehicle is
stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting be-
tween these gears.The transmission shift lever has PARK,
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and
AutoStick® shift positions. Manual
shifts can be made using the
AutoStick® shift control (refer to
“AutoStick®” in “Starting And Operat-
ing” for further information). Moving
the shift lever to the left or right (-/+)
while in the AutoStick® position (below
the Drive position) will manually select
the transmission gear, and will display
the current gear in the instrument clus-
ter as 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.GEAR RANGES
DO NOT race the engine when shift-
ing from PARK or NEUTRAL into
another gear range.NOTE: After selecting any gear
range, wait a moment to allow the
selected gear to engage before ac-
celerating. This is especially im-
portant when the engine is cold.
PARK
This range supplements the parking
brake by locking the transmission.
The engine can be started in this
range. Never attempt to use PARK
while the vehicle is in motion. Apply
the parking brake when leaving the
vehicle in this range.
When parking on a level surface, you
may place the shift lever in PARK first,
and then apply the parking brake.When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before placing the shift
lever in PARK, otherwise the load on
the transmission locking mechanism
may make it difficult to move the shift
lever out of PARK. As an added pre-
caution, turn the front wheels toward
the curb on a downhill grade and
away from the curb on an uphill
grade.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake.
Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure
you and others if it is not com-
pletely in PARK. Check by trying to
move the shift lever rearward (with
the brake pedal released) after you
have placed it in PARK. Make sure
the transmission is in PARK before
leaving the vehicle. It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL
if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not
firmly pressing on the brake
pedal, the vehicle could acceler-
ate quickly forward or in reverse.
You could lose control of the ve-
hicle and hit someone or some-
thing. Only shift into gear when
the engine is idling normally and
your foot is firmly pressing the
brake pedal.
(Continued)

WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and
never turn off the ignition to coast
down a hill. These are unsafe prac-
tices that limit your response to
changing traffic or road conditions.
You might lose control of the ve-
hicle and have a collision.CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or
driving for any other reason with
the transmission in NEUTRAL can
cause severe transmission damage.
Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” and
“Towing A Disabled Vehicle” in
What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
DRIVE
This range should be used for most
city and highway driving. It provides
the smoothest upshifts and down-
shifts, and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically upshifts
through underdrive first, second, third, and fourth gears, direct fifth
gear and overdrive sixth gear. The
DRIVE position provides optimum
driving characteristics under all nor-
mal operating conditions.
When frequent transmission shifting
occurs (such as when operating the
vehicle under heavy loading condi-
tions, in hilly terrain, or traveling into
strong head winds), use the
AutoStick® shift control (refer to
“AutoStick®” in this section for fur-
ther information) to select a lower
gear. Under these conditions, using a
lower gear will improve performance
and extend transmission life by re-
ducing excessive shifting and heat
buildup.
During cold temperatures, transmis-
sion operation may be modified de-
pending on engine and transmission
temperature as well as vehicle speed.
This feature improves warm up time
of the engine and transmission to
achieve maximum efficiency. Engage-
ment of the torque converter clutch is
inhibited until the transmission fluid
is warm (refer to the “Note” under
“Torque Converter Clutch” in this
section). During extremely cold tem-
peratures (27°C or below), operation
may briefly be limited to third gear
only. Normal operation will resume
once the transmission temperature
has risen to a suitable level.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored
electronically for abnormal condi-
tions. If a condition is detected that
could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is ac-
tivated. In this mode, the transmis-
sion remains in third gear regardless
of which forward gear is selected.
PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL
will continue to operate. The Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) may
be illuminated. Limp Home Mode al-
lows the vehicle to be driven to an
authorized dealer for service without
damaging the transmission.
