IGNITION OR ACCESSORY
ON MESSAGE
Opening the driver's door when the
ignition is in ACC or ON (engine not
running), a chime will sound to re-
mind you to cycle the ignition to OFF.
In addition to the chime, the ignition
or accessory on message will display
in the cluster.
NOTE:
With the Uconnect Touch™
system, the power window switches,
radio, power sunroof (for versions/
markets, where provided), and
power outlets will remain active for
up to 10 minutes after the ignition is
cycled to the OFF position. Opening
either front door will cancel this fea-
ture. The time for this feature is pro-
grammable. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the
vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous
for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park-
ing brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave Keyless EnterNGo™ in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key
Fob from vehicle, cycle the ignition
OFF and lock all doors when leav-
ing the vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle oper-
ation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN)
and a RF receiver to prevent unau-
thorized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only Key Fobs that are programmed
to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.After placing the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security

GENERAL INFORMATIONTransmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as
required by EEC regulations. These
devices must be certified to conform to
specific regulations in each individual
country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommu-
nication Standard) 300–220, which
most countries use, and German BZT
federal regulation 225Z125, which
is based on ETC 300–220 but has
additional unique requirements. Other
defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIREC-
TIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is subject
to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmfulinterference.
This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.If your RKE transmitter fails to oper-
ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions:
1. A weak battery in the RKE trans-
mitter. The expected life of the battery
is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter
such as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.
DOOR LOCKS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock the front doors, pull
the inside door handle to the first de-
tent. To unlock the rear doors, pull the
door lock knob on the door trim panel
upward.
If the door lock knob is down when
you shut the door, the door will lock.
Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.
WARNING!
For personal security and safety
in the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

Mode will only be available for video
media sources (DVDs, Video CDs, or
other video media supported by the
radio). Some audio will sound better
in DSS modes, others in Stereo mode.
When in “Audio Surround” mode,
balance is set automatically. Fader
control is available in surround mode
but should be set to the center position
for optimal surround performance.
STEERING WHEEL
AUDIO CONTROLS
The remote sound system controls are
located on the surface of the steering
wheel at the three and nine o'clock
positions.The right-hand control is a rocker-
type switch with a pushbutton in the
center and controls the volume and
mode of the sound system. Pressing
the top of the rocker switch will in-
crease the volume, and pressing the
bottom of the rocker switch will de-
crease the volume.
Pressing the center button will make
the radio switch between the various
modes available (MW/LW/CD, etc.).
The left-hand control is a rocker-type
switch with a pushbutton in the cen-
ter. The function of the left-hand con-
trol is different depending on which
mode you are in.
The following describes the left-hand
control operation in each mode.
Radio Operation
Pressing the top of the switch will
“Seek” up for the next listenable sta-
tion and pressing the bottom of the
switch will “Seek” down for the next
listenable station.The button located in the center of the
left-hand control will tune to the next
preset station that you have pro-
grammed in the radio preset push-
button.
CD Player
Pressing the top of the switch once
will go to the next track on the CD.
Pressing the bottom of the switch once
will go to the beginning of the current
track, or to the beginning of the pre-
vious track if it is within one second
after the current track begins to play.
If you press the switch up or down
twice, it plays the second track; three
times, it will play the third, etc.
The center button on the left side
rocker switch has no function for a
single-disc CD player. However, when
a multiple-disc CD player is equipped
on the vehicle, the center button will
select the next available CD in the
player.

CD/DVD DISC
MAINTENANCE
To keep a CD/DVD in good condition,
take the following precautions:
1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid
touching the surface.
2. If the disc is stained, clean the
surface with a soft cloth, wiping from
center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching the disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as ben-
zene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static
sprays.
5. Store the disc in its case after play-
ing.
6. Do not expose the disc to direct
sunlight.
7. Do not store the disc where tem-
peratures may become too high.
NOTE: If you experience diffi-
culty in playing a particular disc, it
may be damaged (i.e., scratched,
reflective coating removed, a hair,moisture or dew on the disc) over-
sized, or have protection encoding.
Try a known good disc before con-
sidering disc player service.
RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The air conditioning and heating sys-
tem is designed to make you comfort-
able in all types of weather. This sys-
tem can be operated through either
the Automatic Climate Controls on
the instrument panel or through the
Uconnect Touch™ system display.When the Uconnect Touch™ system
is in different modes (Radio, Player,
Settings, More, etc.) the driver and
passenger temperature settings will be
indicated at the top of the display.
