Brake-Shift Interlock Override WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until
you verify that the brake lamps
are working. When doing this procedure, you
will be taking the vehicle out of
park which means the vehicle can roll
freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully set the
parking brake prior to doing this
procedure. Use wheel chocks if
appropriate. If the parking brake is fully
released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. See your
authorized dealer. Note:
See your authorized dealer as
soon as possible if this procedure is
used.
Note: For some markets this feature
will be disabled.
Note: This feature will only function if
your 12-volt battery has power. Use the brake-shift interlock override
procedure to put the vehicle in gear in
the event of an electrical malfunction
or if your vehicle has a dead battery.
The brake shift interlock override
button is located inside of the center
console, below media inputs. You will
need a tool (for example a screwdriver
or similar tool) to access the button.
1. Apply the parking brake and turn
the ignition off before performing
this procedure. 2. Locate the brake shifter interlock
access slot. The slot is located
below the media hub, in the front
of the center console storage bin
and it is not labeled
Note: Make sure that you correctly
identify the access hole as not to
damage the media hub.
3. Using a tool, press and hold the brake shift interlock switch. When
the instrument panel buttons
flash, the vehicle is in override
mode.
4. With the override switch still held, press the
N (Neutral button) for
towing, or the desired gear to shift
from Park.

Using Voice Commands with the
Touchscreen Options
Your voice system has a dual mode
feature which allows you to switch
between using voice commands and
making on-screen selections. This is
most often available when using
navigation.
Buttons outlined in blue indicate
selections that are part of the dual
mode feature. For example, if while
you are in a voice session, rather than
saying the command "Enter street
name" to change the field, you can
press Street and the voice session
does not end. Instead, the voice
system changes to the
Street field
and asks you to say the street name.
You cannot use the buttons not
outlined in blue as voice commands.
If they are touched during a voice
session, the voice session ends. For example, you can choose from the
following on the Navigation home
screen:
•
My Home
• Favorites
• Previous Destinations
• Point of Interest (POI)
• Emergency
• Street Address
• Intersection
• Cancel Route.
Some of the voice commands that
are available while viewing this screen
are: Destination
"Destination emergency" "Destination favorites"
"Destination intersection" "Destination my home" "Destination POI"
"Destination previous destinations" "Destination street address"
If you choose Street Address from the
navigation screen, you can choose
from the following:
• Number
• City
• Street Name
• State/Prov.
