224 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil
Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of used
engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle.
Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately
d i
scarded, can present a problem to the
environment. Contact an authorized dealer,
service station or governmental agency for
advice on how and where used oil and oil filters
can be safely discarded in your area.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be replaced with a
new filter at every engine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
This manufacturer's engines have a full-flow
ty
pe disposable oil filter. Use a filter of this type
for replacement. The quality of replacement
filters varies considerably. Only high quality
filters should be used to ensure most efficient
service. Mopar engine oil filters are high quality
oil filters and are recommended.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” in “Servicing
and Maintenance” for the proper maintenance
intervals.
NOTE:
Be sure to follow the “Severe Duty Conditions”
ma
intenance interval if applicable.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection
The quality of replacement engine air cleaner
f i
lters varies considerably. Only high quality
filters should be used to ensure most efficient
service. Mopar engine air cleaner filters are a
high quality filter and are recommended.
AIR CONDITIONER MAINTENANCE
For best possible performance, your air
conditioner should be checked and serviced by
an authorized dealer at the start of each warm
season. This service should include cleaning of
the condenser fins and a performance test.
Drive belt tension should also be checked at
this time.
WARNING!
The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses,
etc.) can provide a measure of protection in the
case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air
induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.)
unless such removal is necessary for repair or
maintenance. Make sure that no one is near
the engine compartment before starting the
vehicle with the air induction system (air
cleaner, hoses, etc.) removed. Failure to do so
can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING!
Use only refrigerants and compressor lubri -
cants approved by the manufacturer for
y o
ur air conditioning system. Some unap -
proved refrigerants are flammable and can
e x
plode, injuring you. Other unapproved
refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
Refer to Warranty Information Book, for
further warranty information.
The air conditioning system contains refrig -
erant under high pressure. To avoid risk of
p e
rsonal injury or damage to the system,
adding refrigerant or any repair requiring
lines to be disconnected should be done by
an experienced technician.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 233
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission
performance and life. Use only the
manufacturer's specified transmission fluid.
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical
Specifications” for fluid specifications. It is
important to maintain the transmission fluid at
the correct level using the recommended fluid.
NOTE:
No chemical flushes should be used in any
t r
ansmission; only the approved lubricant
should be used.
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against
using any special additives in the transmission.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an
engineered product and its performance
may be impaired by supplemental additives.
T h
erefore, do not add any fluid additives to the
transmission. The only exception to this policy is
the use of special dyes for diagnosing fluid leaks.
Avoid using transmission sealers as they may
adversely affect seals.
Fluid Level Check
Use the following procedure to check the
transmission fluid level properly:
1. P ark the vehicle on level ground.
2
. R un the engine at normal idle speed for at
l
east 60 seconds, and leave the engine
running for the rest of this procedure. 3. F
ully apply the parking brake, and press the
b
rake pedal.
4. P lace the gear selector momentarily into
e
ach gear position (allowing time for the
transmission to fully engage in each
position), ending with the transmission in
PARK.
5. W ipe the area around the dipstick clean to
p
revent dirt from entering the transmission.
6. R emove the dipstick and determine if the
f
luid is hot or cold. You can also read the
transmission fluid temperature using the
instrument cluster. Refer to "Instrument
Cluster Display" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information.
Hot fluid is approximately 180°F (82°C),
which is the normal operating temperature
after the vehicle is driven at least 15 miles
( 2
4 km). Hot fluid cannot be held
c o
mfortably between the fingertips. Cold
fluid is at a temperature of approximately
80°F (27°C).
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the
manufacturer’s recommended fluid may cause
deterioration in transmission shift quality and/
or torque converter shudder, and will require
more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to
“Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical
Specifications” for fluid specifications.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
transmission as the chemicals can damage
your transmission components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

296 MULTIMEDIA
For each feature explanation in this section, only
the compound command form of the voice
command is given. You can also break the
commands into parts and say each part of the
command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound command
form voice command “Search for John Smith,” or
you can break the compound command form into
two voice commands: “Search Contact” and
when asked “John Smith.” Please remember, the
Uconnect Phone works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to
someone sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a
Na
tural Language Voice Recognition (VR)
engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak
c o
mmands in phrases or complete sentences.
The system filters out certain non-word
utterances and sounds such as “ah” and “eh”.
The system handles fill-in words such as “I would
like to.”
The system handles multiple inputs in the same
p
h
rase or sentence such as “make a phone
call” and “to Kelly Smith.” For multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and provides the
associated follow-up prompt such as “Who do
you want to call?” in the case where a phone
call was requested but the specific name was
not recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog; when the
s y
stem requires more information from the user
it will ask a question to which the user can
respond without pushing the Voice Command
button on your steering wheel.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you
w a
nt to know your options at any prompt, say
“Help” following the beep.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle,
s i
mply push the Phone button (if active) on
your steering wheel and say a command or say
“ h
elp”. All Uconnect Phone sessions begin with
a push of the VR button or the Phone button
(if active) on the radio control head. Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say
“
C
ancel” and you will be returned to the main
menu.
You can also push the Voice Recognition (VR)
b u
tton or Phone button (if active) on your
steering wheel when the system is listening for
a
command and be returned to the main or
previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect Phone To A Mobile Phone
To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must
p a
ir your compatible Bluetooth® enabled
mobile phone.
To complete the pairing process, you will need
t o
reference your mobile phone Owner's
Manual. The Uconnect website may also
provide detailed instructions for pairing.
NOTE:
You must have Bluetooth® enabled on your
phone to complete this procedure.
The vehicle must be in PARK.
