mobile phone's audio is transmittedthrough your vehicle's audio system;
the system will automatically mute
your radio when using the Uconnect®

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).

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.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Automatic High Beam system
provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam con-
trol through the use of a digital cam-
era mounted on the inside rearview
mirror. This camera detects vehicle
specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
NOTE: Broken, muddy or ob-
structed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view willcause headlights to remain on lon-
ger (closer to the vehicle). Also,
dirt, film and other obstructions
on the windshield or camera lens
will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Select “Automatic High Beams —
ON” through the EVIC. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable
Features” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
2. Rotate the headlight switch coun-
terclockwise to the AUTO (A) posi-
tion.
3. Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
the high beam position. Refer to
“Multifunction Lever” in this section
for further information.
NOTE: This system will not acti-
vate until the vehicle is at, or
above, 40 km/h.
HEADLIGHT LEVELING
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Your vehicle may be
equipped with a headlight

located on the instrument panel next
to the dimmer control.
To operate, rotate the control switch
until the appropriate number, which
corresponds to the load listed on the
chart, aligns with the indicator line on
the switch.
0 Driver only, or driver and
