212 IN 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
pr

event 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,
de
frosters, 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
b a

ttery is discharged, refer to “Gear Selector
Override” in this section for instructions on
shifting the transmission out of PARK for
towing.

232 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
(Continued)
BRAKE SYSTEM

In order to ensure brake system performance, all
brake system components should be inspected
periodically. Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” in
“Servicing and Maintenance” for the proper
maintenance intervals.

Master Cylinder — Brake Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder
immediately if the “Brake Warning Light”
indicates system failure.
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder
wh

en performing underhood services.
Clean the top of the master cylinder area before
r e

moving the cap. If necessary, add fluid to
bring the fluid level up to the requirements
described on the brake fluid reservoir. Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because
i
t

may cause leaking in the system.
Fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake
p a

ds wear. Brake fluid level should be checked
when pads are replaced. However, low fluid
level may be caused by a leak and a checkup
may be needed.
Use only manufacturer's recommended brake
fl
uid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical Specifications” for further
information.WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your foot
resting or riding on the brake pedal can result
in abnormally high brake temperatures,
excessive lining wear, and possible brake
damage. You would not have your full braking
capacity in an emergency.
WARNING!

Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants”
in “Technical Specifications” for further infor-
mation. Using the wrong type of brake fluid
c a

n severely damage your brake system
and/or impair its performance. The proper
type of brake fluid for your vehicle is also
identified on the original factory installed
hydraulic master cylinder reservoir.

To avoid contamination from foreign matter
or moisture, use only new brake fluid or
fluid that has been in a tightly closed
container. Keep the master cylinder reser -
voir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in
a

open container absorbs moisture from
the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
This may cause it to boil unexpectedly
d u

ring hard or prolonged braking, resulting
in sudden brake failure. This could result in
a collision.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can
result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine
parts, causing the brake fluid to catch fire.
Brake fluid can also damage painted and
vinyl surfaces, care should be taken to
avoid its contact with these surfaces.
Do not allow petroleum based fluid to
contaminate the brake fluid. Brake seal
components could be damaged, causing
partial or complete brake failure. This could
result in a collision.

VOICE COMMAND (UCONNECT 3/3 NAV)
UCONNECT 3/3 NAV
The Uconnect Voice Command
system allows you to control your AM,
FM

radio, satellite radio, disc player,
SD Card, USB/iPod® and SiriusXM®
Travel Link.
NOTE:
Take care to speak into the Voice Command
s y

stem as calmly and normally as possible.
The ability of the Voice Command system to
r e

cognize user voice commands may be nega-
tively affected by rapid speaking or a raised
v o

ice level. When you push the Uconnect Voice Command
button, you hear a beep. The beep is your
signal to give a command.
If no command is spoken the system says one
o f

two responses:
I didn't understand
I didn't get that
If a command is not spoken a second time, the
s y

stem will respond with an error and give some
direction as what can be said based on the
context you are in. After three consecutive
failures of a spoken command the VR session
will end. Pushing the Uconnect Voice Command

button while the system is speaking is known as
“ b

arging in.” The system will be interrupted, and
after the beep, you can say a command. This
becomes helpful once you start to learn the
options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words “Cancel” or
“ H

elp.”
These commands are universal and can be
u s

ed from any menu. All other commands can
be used depending upon the active application.
When using this system, you should speak
c le

arly and at a normal speaking volume.
The system best recognizes your speech if
the windows are closed, and the heater/air
c o

nditioning fan is set to low.
At any point, if the system does not recognize
o n

e of your commands, you will be prompted to
repeat it.
To hear available commands, push the
U c

onnect Voice Command button and say
“Help.” You hear available commands for the
s c

reen displayed.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
