dio, refer to the Navigation or Mul-
timedia radio's User's Manual
(separate booklet) Uconnect®
Phone section.
Uconnect® Phone is a voice-
activated, hands-free, in-vehicle com-
munications system. Uconnect®
Phone allows you to dial a phone
number with your mobile phone* us-
ing simple voice commands (e.g.,
“Call”…“Jim”… “Work” or
“Dial”…“151-1234 -5555”). Your
mobile phone's audio is transmittedthrough your vehicle's audio system;
the system will automatically mute
your radio when using the Uconnect®
Phone.
Uconnect® Phone allows you to
transfer calls between the Uconnect®
Phone and your mobile phone as you
enter or exit your vehicle and enables
you to mute the Uconnect® Phone's
microphone for private conversation.
The Uconnect® Phone is driven
through your Bluetooth® “Hands-
Free profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect® Phone features
Bluetooth® technology - the global
standard that enables different elec-
tronic devices to connect to each other
without wires or a docking station, so
Uconnect® Phone works no matter
where you stow your mobile phone
(be it your purse, pocket, or brief-
case), as long as your phone is turned
on and has been paired to the vehicle's
Uconnect® Phone. The Uconnect®
Phone allows up to seven mobile
phones to be linked to the system.
Only one linked (or paired) mobile
phone can be used with the
Uconnect® Phone at a time. The
Uconnect® Phone is available in Eng-
lish, Dutch, French, German, Italian
or Spanish languages (as equipped).
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding
phone use. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the ve-
hicle. Failure to do so may result in
a collision causing serious injury or
death.
Uconnect® Phone Button The radio or steering wheel
controls will contain the
two control buttons
(Uconnect® Phone
but-
ton and Voice Command

The Uconnect® Phone can be used
with Hands-Free Profile certified
Bluetooth® mobile phones. Some
phones may not support all the
Uconnect® Phone features. Refer to
your mobile service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.
The Uconnect® Phone is fully inte-
grated with the vehicle's audio sys-
tem. The volume of the Uconnect®
Phone can be adjusted either from the
radio volume control knob or from the
steering wheel radio control, if so
equipped.
The radio display will be used for
visual prompts from the Uconnect®
Phone such as CELL or caller ID on
certain radios.

OPERATION
Voice commands can be used to oper-
ate the Uconnect® Phone and to navi-
gate through the Uconnect® Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are
required after most Uconnect® Phone
prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided
through the available options. Prior to giving a voice command,
one must wait for the beep, which
follows the “Ready” prompt or an-
other prompt.
For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For ex-
ample, instead of saying “Setup”
and then “Phone Pairing”, the fol-
lowing compound command can be
said: “Setup Phone Pairing”.
For each feature explanation in this section, only the compound form of
the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into
parts and say each part of the com-
mand when you are asked for it.
For example, you can use the com-
pound form voice command
“Phonebook New Entry”, or you
can break the compound form
command into two voice com-
mands: “Phonebook” and “New
Entry”. Please remember, the
Uconnect® Phone works best when
you talk in a normal conversational
tone, as if speaking to someone sit-
ting a few meters away from you.

TO OPEN AND CLOSE
THE HOOD
To open the hood, two latches must be
released.
1. Pull the hood release lever located
on the instrument panel, below the
steering column.
2. Move to the front of the vehicle
and look inside the center of the hood
opening. Locate, then push the safety
catch lever downward while raising
the hood at the same time.Use the hood prop rod to secure the
hood in the open position.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it. Lower the
hood until it is open approximately
30 cm and then drop it. This should
secure both latches. Never drive
your vehicle unless the hood is fully
closed, with both latches engaged.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the
hood is not fully latched, it could
open when the vehicle is in motion
and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
LIGHTS
All of the lights, except the Hazard
Warning lights, headlight high beams
and flash-to-pass, are controlled by

time and the rear fog lights will come
on (front fog lights stay on). Press the
switch a third time and the rear fog
lights turn off (front fog stays on).
Press the switch a fourth times and
the front fog turns off. For vehicles
without front fog, rear fog will acti-
vate on the first press.
An indicator light in the instrument
cluster illuminates when the fog lights
are turned on.
NOTE: The headlight switch must
be in parking lights or headlights
position to activate the front and
rear fog lamps.
BATTERY PROTECTION
This feature provides battery protec-
tion to avoid wearing down the bat-
tery if the headlights, parking lights,
or front fog lights are left on for ex-
tended periods of time when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position.
After eight minutes of the ignition
switch being in the LOCK position
and the headlight switch in any posi-
tion other than OFF or AUTO, thelights will turn off automatically until
the next cycle of the ignition switch or
headlight switch.
The battery protection feature will be
disabled if the ignition switch is
turned to any other position other
than LOCK during the eight minute
delay.
MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever is located on
the left side of the steering column.
The multifunction lever controls the:
Turn Signals
Headlight Beams Low/High

Front and Rear Wipers — Washer
Functions
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or
down and the arrows on each side of
the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights.
NOTE: If either light remains on
and does not flash, or there is a
very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.
Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle has traveled at over 30 km/h
for approximately 1.6 km with the
turn signals on, a chime will sound to
alert the driver.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
AND WASHERS
The wipers and washers are operated
by a switch within the multifunction
lever. Rotate the end of the multifunc-
tion lever to select the desired wiper
speed. NOTE: Always remove any
buildup of snow that prevents the
windshield wiper blades from re-
turning to the off position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned
off and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the
wiper motor may occur.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through
the windshield could lead to a col-
lision. You might not see other ve-
hicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield dur-
ing freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster be-
fore and during windshield washer
use.
MIST, FRONT WIPER AND
WASHER
Use the Mist feature when weather
conditions make occasional usage of
the wipers necessary.
Press the end of the multifunction lever
inward (toward the steering column) to
the first detent and release for a single wiping cycle. To use the Washer, push
on the end of the lever to the second
detent and hold while spray is desired.
If the lever is pushed while on the in-
termittent setting, the wipers will turn
on and operate for several wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previ-
ously selected. If the lever is pushed
while the wipers are in the off position,
the wipers will operate several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
INTERMITTENT, LOW AND
HIGH SPEED WIPERS
Rotate the end of the lever to one of
the first five detent positions for inter-
mittent wiper operation, the sixth de-
tent for low wiper operation and the
seventh detent for high wiper opera-
tion.
Use one of the five intermittent wiper
settings when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desir-
able. At driving speeds above
16 km/h, the delay can be regulated
from a maximum of approximately
