Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Operation
• The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) mode gives you access to the audio files on the internal
hard disk drive. It functions similar to a CD player, with the exception that the
internal HDD can hold more tracks.
• It is also possible to import display pictures to the internal hard disk drive. The
pictures can be displayed on the right half of the radio screen.
• Before using the HDD mode, you will need to copy songs and pictures to the
internal hard drive. Songs and pictures can be added to the hard drive by using a
CD or USB device (e.g. thumb drive or memory stick).
NOTE:
• HDD supports only .jpg/JPEG formats for photos.
• WMA/MP3 Files and Selective Songs from a CD can also be added to the HDD. See
the Uconnect®430/430N User's Manual for more information.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING
During sustained high speed driving or trailer towing up long grades on hot days, the
automatic transmission oil may become too hot.
When the transmission overheat warning lightturns on, you will experience
reduced performance until the automatic transmission cools down. Once the trans-
mission has cooled down and the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.
If the high speed is maintained, the overheating will continue to occur.
If the overheating continues, it may become necessary to stop the vehicle and run the
engine at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the light turns off.

2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them to the left one turn
while the wheel is still on the ground.
NOTE:
• There are front and rear jacking locations on each side of the body. The front
locations are outlined by two triangular cutouts, the rear locations by two
rectangular cutouts.
• For vehicles equipped with plastic
trim, the plastic has been cut away
to expose the jacking locations in
the body.
• Do not raise the vehicle until you are
sure the jack is securely engaged.
3. Turn the jack screw to the left until the
jack can be placed under the jacking
location. Once the jack is positioned,
turn the jack screw to the right until
the jack head is properly engaged with
the lift area closest to the wheel to be
changed.
4. Using the swivel wrench raise the ve-
hicle by turning the jack screw to the
right. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install the
spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.

100 ft/lbs (135 N·m). If you doubt that you have tightened the nuts correctly,
have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service
station.
