When exiting the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat
-
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil -
dren), and do not leave the ignition in the
ACC or ON/ RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disen -
gaged before driving; failure to do so can
lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake when
leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury. Also be certain to
leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may allow the vehicle to roll and
cause damage or injury.
CAUTION!
If the Brake System Warning Light remains on

system malfunction is indicated. Have the
brake system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal, the vehicle could accel -
erate quickly forward or in reverse. You
could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear
when the engine is idling normally and your
foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with
all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle
while the engine is running. Before exiting a
vehicle, always come to a complete stop,
then apply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, turn the engine
OFF, and remove the key fob. When the
ignition is in the LOCK/OFF (key removal)
position, the transmission is locked in
PARK, securing the vehicle against
unwanted movement.

NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal while
shifting out of PARK.
Key Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park
Interlock which requires the transmission to be
in PARK before the ignition can be turned to the
LOCK/OFF (key removal) position. The key fob
can only be removed from the ignition when the
ignition is in the LOCK/OFF position, and the
transmission is locked in PARK whenever the
ignition is in the LOCK/OFF position.
NOTE:
If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap the
key fob in the ignition to warn you that this
safety feature is inoperable. The engine can be
started and stopped but the key fob cannot be
removed until you obtain service.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system that
holds the transmission gear selector in PARK
unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the ignition must be
in the ON/RUN mode (engine running or not)
and the brake pedal must be pressed.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.
Never use the PARK position as a substi -
tute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to
move the gear selector out of PARK with the
brake pedal released. Make sure the trans -
mission is in PARK before exiting the
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.

Gear Ranges
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when
shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL into another
gear range.
NOTE:
After selecting any gear range, wait a moment
to allow the selected gear to engage before
accelerating. This is especially important when
the engine is cold.
PARK (P)
This range supplements the parking brake by
locking the transmission. The engine can be
started in this range. Never attempt to use
PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the
parking brake when exiting the vehicle in this
range.
When parking on a level surface, you may shift
the transmission into PARK first, and then apply
the parking brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake
before shifting the transmission to PARK,
otherwise the load on the transmission locking
mechanism may make it difficult to move the gear selector out of PARK. As an added
precaution, turn the front wheels toward the
curb on a downhill grade, and away from the
curb on an uphill grade.
When exiting the vehicle, always:
Apply the parking brake.
Shift the transmission into PARK.
Turn the engine off.
Remove the key fob.

The following indicators should be used to
ensure that you have properly engaged the
transmission into the PARK position:
When shifting into PARK, firmly move the
gear selector all the way forward and to the
left until it stops and is fully seated.
Look at the transmission gear position
display and verify that it indicates the PARK
position (P).
With brake pedal released, verify that the
gear selector will not move out of PARK.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward.
Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for
prolonged periods with the engine running. The
engine may be started in this range. Apply the
parking brake and shift the transmission into
PARK if you must exit the vehicle.
Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to
move the gear selector out of PARK with the
brake pedal released. Make sure the trans -
mission is in PARK before exiting the
vehicle.

move the vehicle.
WARNING! (Continued)
CAUTION!
Before moving the transmission gear
selector out of PARK, you must turn the igni -
tion to the ON/RUN mode, and also press
the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the
gear selector could result.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from
PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range,
as this can damage the drivetrain.

224IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to
prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow
bars and other equipment designed for this
purpose, following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory.
Attach a tow bar or other towing device to main
structural members of the vehicle, not to
bumpers or associated brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed. If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode, not the ACC
mode.
If the key fob is unavailable or the vehicle's
battery is discharged, refer to "Gear Selector
Override" in this section for instructions on
shifting the transmission out of PARK for
towing.

NOTE:
The emergency number dialed is based on
the country where the vehicle is purchased
(911 for the US and Canada and 060 for
Mexico). The number dialed may not be appli -
cable with the available mobile service and
area.
If supported, this number may be program -
mable on some systems. To do this, push the
Phone button and say “Setup,” followed
by “Emergency.”
The Uconnect Phone does slightly lower your
chances of successfully making a phone call. Roadside Assistance/Towing Assistance
If you need roadside assistance:
Push the Phone button to begin.
After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Towing Assistance”.
NOTE:
You should program the desired Towing
Assistance phone number using the Voice
Command system. To do this, push the Phone
button and say “Setup,” followed by “Towing
Assistance.” When prompted say
1-800-521-2779 for U.S., 1-800-363-4869 for
Canada, 55-14-3454 for Mexico City and
1-800-712-3040 for outside Mexico City in
Mexico.
Paging
To learn how to page, refer to “Working With
Automated Systems.” Paging works properly
except for pagers of certain companies, which
time out a little too soon to work properly with
the Uconnect Phone.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to
“Working With Automated Systems.” Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one
generally has to press numbers on the mobile
phone keypad while navigating through an
automated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect Phone to access a
voice mail system or an automated service,
such as a paging service or automated
customer service line. Some services require
immediate response selection. In some
instances, that may be too quick for use of the
Uconnect Phone.
When calling a number with your Uconnect
Phone that normally requires you to enter in a
touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone
keypad, you can push the Voice Recognition
button and say the sequence you wish to
enter, followed by the word “Send.” For
example, if required to enter your PIN followed
with a pound, (3 7 4 6 #), you can push the
Voice Recognition button and say, “3 7 4 6 #
Send.” Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by “Send,” is also to be used
for navigating through an automated customer
service center menu structure, and to leave a
number on a pager.
WARNING!
To use your Uconnect Phone System in an
emergency, your mobile phone must be:
Turned on.
Paired to the Uconnect System.
Have network coverage.

20_RT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 312

MULTIMEDIA313
You can also send stored Uconnect Phonebook
entries as tones for fast and easy access to
voice mail and pager entries. To use this
feature, dial the number you wish to call and
then push the Voice Command button and
say, “Send.” The system will prompt you to enter
the name or number and say the name of the
phonebook entry you wish to send. The
Uconnect Phone will then send the
corresponding phone number associated with
the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.
NOTE:
You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations. This is
normal.
Some paging and voice mail systems have
system time out settings that are too short
and may not allow the use of this feature.
Barge In – Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Command” button can be used
when you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immediately. For
example, if a prompt is asking “Would you like to pair a phone, clear a...,” you could push the
Voice Recognition button and say, “Pair a
Phone” to select that option without having to
listen to the rest of the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system from confirming your choices (e.g., the
Uconnect Phone will not repeat a phone
number before you dial it).
To turn confirmation prompts on or off using
Voice Command:

1. Push the Phone button to begin.

2. After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say:“Setup Confirmations Prompts On” or
“Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
Phone And Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium
display such as the instrument panel cluster,
and supported by your mobile phone, the
Uconnect Phone will provide notification to
inform you of your phone and network status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect Phone. The status is given for
roaming, network signal strength, phone battery
strength, etc.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile
phone keypad and still use the Uconnect Phone
(while dialing via the mobile phone keypad, the
user must exercise caution and take precau
-
tionary safety measures). By dialing a number
with your paired Bluetooth® mobile phone, the
audio will be played through your vehicles audio
system. The Uconnect Phone will work the same
as if you dial the number using Voice Command.
NOTE:
Certain brands of mobile phones do not send
the dial ring to the Uconnect Phone to play it on
the vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it.
Under this situation, after successfully dialing a
number the user may feel that the call did not
go through even though the call is in progress.
Once your call is answered, you will hear the
audio.
