NOTE:
All phone oriented voice commands are accessible by first pressing the Phone Pick
Up
button, not the Voice Command button. To end a call, simply press the
Phone Hang Up
button. In some vehicles, the Phone Pickupbutton
serves the dual purpose of ending calls as well.
Voice Command (VR) User TIPs
• To hear available commands, press the Uconnect
®Voice Command button and
say “Help”. You will hear available commands for the menu displayed.
• At any time, you can say the words “Cancel” or “Help”. These commands are
universal and can be used from virtually any menu. All other specific commands
can be used depending upon the active application.
• You can interrupt the system prompts at any time by pressing the Uconnect
®Voice
Command button while the system is speaking. After the beep, you can say a
command.
• You can chain commands together for faster results. Say “Call Joe Doe mobile”,
for example.
• For best performance, adjust the rearview mirror to provide at least ½ inch (1 cm)
gap between the overhead console (if equipped) and the mirror.
• Always wait for the beep before speaking.
• Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would speak to a person sitting a few
feet/meters away from you.
• Make sure that no one other than you is speaking during a Voice Command period.
Steering Wheel Buttons
• You can control many of your radio
features using your voice. Press either
the VR

7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
8. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle
movement.
Repeat these Steps 1 through 5 to shift out of NEUTRAL.
SELEC-TERRAIN™
Selec-Terrain™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Terrain™ positions:
Snow– Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow. When in Snow mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather than first gear)
during launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If equipped with air suspension, the
level will change to Normal Ride Height (NRH) if the transfer case is in high range.
The level will change to Off-Road 1 if the transfer case is in Low range.
Auto– Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. Balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide improved handling and
acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles. If equipped with air suspension, the level
will change to NRH.
Sand– Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as sand or wet grass.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management
of throttle and wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to
Off-Road 1.
Mud– Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as mud. Driveline is
maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving surfaces. The
electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management of throttle and
wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to Off-Road 1.
Rock–
Off-road calibration only available in 4WD Low range. The vehicle is raised (if
equipped with Air Suspension) for improved ground clearance. Traction based tuning with
improved steer-ability for use on high traction off-road surfaces. Activate the Hill Descent
Control for steep downhill control. Use for low speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep
ruts, etc. If equipped with air suspension, the vehicle level will change to Off-Road 2.
If the Selec-Terrain™ switch is in ROCK mode, and the transfer case is switched from 4WD
Low to 4WD High, the Selec-Terrain™ system will return to AUTO.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES (4WD OPERATION)

PADDLE SHIFT MODE
Paddle Shift Mode is a driver-interactive transmission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control of the vehicle. Paddle Shift Mode allows you
to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and
improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
Refer to the “Starting And Operating” section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for further details.
Paddle Shift Mode Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operate
automatically, shifting between the five available gears. To engage Paddle Shift
Mode, simply tap the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position,
or tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter
Paddle Shift Mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while using
(+) to enter Paddle Shift Mode will retain the current gear.
When Paddle Shift mode is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the
instrument cluster. In Paddle Shift Mode, the transmission will shift up or down when
(+/-) is manually selected by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles),
unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described
below:
• Normally, in Paddle Shift Mode, the transmission will automatically shift up when
maximum engine speed is reached. If, however, Paddle Shift Mode is engaged
while in SPORT mode, the transmission will remain in the selected gear even when
maximum engine speed is reached. The transmission will upshift only when
commanded by the driver.
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle
is accelerated.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting
in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• If a requested downshift would cause the engine to over-speed, that shift will not
occur.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.

• Avoid using speed control when Paddle Shift mode is engaged.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when Paddle Shift Mode is engaged.
• To disengage Paddle Shift Mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold
the (+) shift paddle until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You
can shift in or out of the Paddle Shift Mode at any time without taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
SELEC-TRACK™
Selec-Track™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Track™ positions:
•Sport- Dry weather, on-road calibration. Performance based tuning that provides
a rear wheel drive feel but with improved handling and acceleration over a
two-wheel drive vehicle. The active suspension system will be in a semi firm mode,
and a green flag will light up in the instrument cluster.
•Snow- Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow.
•Auto- Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. This position balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide
improved handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles.
•Track- This position offers track road calibration for use on high traction surfaces.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces.
•To w- Use this mode for towing. Vehicle suspension will go to Firm mode and peak
power will be limited in the engine controls.
