4.Voice Texting – Use the sound of your voice to create, listen to and send text
messages. Just tell Uconnect®what you want the message to say - it will convert
your voice to text and send the message at your command. Powerful, cloud-based
voice recognition allows you to dictate free form text messages, and send them
from your Bluetooth - enabled phone without taking your hands of the wheel or
focus from the road. Requires a cell phone that supports Bluetooth Message
Access Profile (MAP).
WARNING!
• ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the steering wheel. You have full responsibility and assume all risks related to the use of the Uconnect®features
and applications in this vehicle. Only use Uconnect®when it is safe to do so.
Failure to do so may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.
• Ignoring the Rearview Mirror light could mean you may not have 9-1-1 Call
service when you need it. If the Rearview Mirror light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service the 9-1-1 Call system immediately.
• The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on the Air Bag Warning Light on
the instrument panel if a malfunction is detected in any part of the air bag
system. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, the air bag system may not
be working properly and the 9-1-1 system may not be able to send a signal to
a 9-1-1 operator. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service your vehicle immediately.
• If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger (e.g., fire or smoke is visible,
dangerous road conditions or location), do not wait for voice contact from a
9-1-1 operator. All occupants should exit the vehicle immediately and move to
a safe location.
• The 9-1-1 Call system is embedded into the vehicle’s electrical system. Do not
add any aftermarket electrical equipment to the vehicle’s electrical system.
This may prevent your vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an emergency
call. To avoid interference that can cause the 9-1-1 Call system to fail, never
add aftermarket equipment (e.g., two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data
recorder, etc.) to your vehicle’s electrical system or modify the antennas on
your vehicle. IF YOUR VEHICLE LOSES BATTERY POWER FOR ANY REASON
(INCLUDING DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT), THE UCONNECT
®FEA-
TURES, APPS AND SERVICES, AMONG OTHERS, WILL NOT OPERATE.
