400 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Jump Starting Procedure
Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the
positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.
NOTE:
Do not jump off fuses. Only jump directly off positive
post. 2. Connect the opposite end of the positive
(+) jumper cable
to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable
to a good engine ground (exposed metal part of the
discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and
the fuel injection system.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the
engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could
establish a ground connection and personal injury could
result.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure could
result in personal injury or property damage due to
battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in
damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or
the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.
CAUTION!
Do not connect jumper cable to any of the fuses on the
positive battery terminal. The resulting electrical current
will blow the fuse.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 401
6. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables inthe reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable from
the engine ground of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper
cable from the negative (-) post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from
the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper
cable from the positive (+) post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
If frequent jump starting is required to start your vehicle you
should have the battery and charging system inspected at an
authorized dealer.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the poten -
tial for overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase the engine idle speed while
preventing vehicle motion with the brakes.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending
overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning
the A/C off can help remove this heat. CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use
(i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.

MULTIMEDIA 551
Media Mode
Pushing the top of the switch once will go to the next track
on the selected media (AUX/USB/Bluetooth/CD). Pushing
the bottom of the switch once goes to the beginning of the
current track, or to the beginning of the previous track if it is
within eight seconds after the current track begins to play.
IPOD/USB/MP3 CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
Located on the center stack, just below the instrument panel,
is the main media hub. There are four total USB Ports : Two
Mini-USBs (Type C) and two Standard USBs (Type A). There
is also an AUX Port located in the middle of the USB Ports.
All four of the USB Ports include a USB Trident and a numer-
ical value one through three, which indicates that the vehicle
can support three fully-functioning USB Ports at a time. Each
USB Port will support media and charging simultaneously.
NOTE:
• The Type C USB port is the primary media port for the radio. Two devices can be plugged in at the same time and
both ports provide charging capabilities, but only one port
can transfer data to the head unit at a time.
• Both ports share a single data connection. However, the user cannot switch between Type A or Type C. For example, if a device is plugged into the Type A USB port
and another device is plugged into the Type C port, connec
-
tion to the Type A port will be lost. Alternatively, if a device
is plugged into the Type C port and another device is
plugged into the Type A port, the Type C device maintains
primary connection.

MULTIMEDIA 555
If equipped, two Mini-USB Ports (Type C), two Standard
USB Ports (Type A), and one AUX Port may be located to the
left of the center stack, just below the climate controls.Center Console USB/AUX Media Hub Some USB ports support media and charging. You can use
features, such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Pandora
and others while charging your phone.
NOTE:
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may cause the
connection to a previous device to be lost.

RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone being on in your
vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from your
radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated by relo -
cating the mobile phone antenna. This condition is not
harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the antenna, it is
recommended that the radio volume be turned down or off
during mobile phone operation when not using Uconnect (if
equipped).
