VOICE COMMAND — IF
EQUIPPED
Voice Command System Operation
The Uconnect Voice Command
system allows you to control your
AM, FM radio, disc player, USB
Mass Storage Class device, iPod
family of devices, Bluetooth
Streaming Audio device, and a
memo recorder.NOTE:
Take care to speak into the Voice Interface
System as calmly and normally as possible.
The ability of the Voice Interface System to
recognize user voice commands may be
negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
all applicable laws, including laws regarding
phone use. Your attention should be focused
on safely operating the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in a collision causing serious
injury or death.
When you push the Voice Command
button,
you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to
give a command.NOTE:
If you do not say a command within a few
seconds, the system will present you with a
list of options.
If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it
lists options, push the Voice Command
but-
ton, listen for the beep, and say your command.
Pushing the Voice Command
button while
the system is speaking is known as “barging in.”
The system will be interrupted, and after the
beep, you can add or change commands. This
will become helpful once you start to learn the
options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say the words “Can-
cel,” “Help” or “Main Menu.”
These commands are universal and can be
used from any menu. All other commands can
be used depending upon the active application.
When using this system, you should speak
clearly and at a normal speaking volume.
85

The system will best recognize your speech if
the windows are closed, and the heater/air
conditioning blower control is set to low.
At any point, if the system does not recognize
one of your commands, you will be prompted to
repeat it.
To hear the first available Menu, push the Voice
Command
button and say “Help” or “Main
Menu.”
CommandsThe Voice Command system understands two
types of commands, Universal commands and
Local commands. Universal commands are

WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
•Seats should be adjusted before fastening
the seat belts and while the vehicle is
parked. Serious injury or death could result
from a poorly adjusted seat belt.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat
or impede its ability to move as it may cause
damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may
become limited if movement is stopped by an
obstruction in the seat’s path.
Adjusting The Seat Forward Or Rearward
The seat can be adjusted both forward and
rearward. Push the seat switch forward or rear-
ward. The seat will move in the direction of theswitch. Release the switch when the desired
position has been reached.
Adjusting The Seat Up Or Down
The height of the seats can be adjusted up or
down. Pull upward or push downward on the
seat switch. The seat will move in the direction
of the switch. Release the switch when the
desired position is reached.
Tilting The Seat Up Or Down
The angle of the seat cushion can be adjusted
in four directions. Pull upward or push down-
ward on the front or rear of the seat switch, the
front or rear of the seat cushion will move in the
direction of the switch. Release the switch when
the desired position is reached.
Heated Seats — If EquippedOn some models, the front driver and passen-
ger seats may be equipped with heaters in both
the seat cushions and seatbacks. The controls
for the front heated seats are located on the
center instrument panel area.
You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat
settings. Amber indicator lights in each switchindicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for HI, one for LO and none
for OFF.
Push the switch once to select HI-
level heating. Push the switch a sec-
ond time to select LO-level heating.
Push the switch a third time to shut
the heating elements OFF.
When the HI-level setting is selected, the heater
will provide a boosted heat level during the
initial stages of operation. Then, the heat output
will drop to the normal HI-level. If the HI-level
setting is selected, the system will automatically
switch to LO-level after approximately 30 min-
utes of continuous operation. At that time, the
display will change from HI to LO, indicating the
change. When the LO-level heating is selected,
the system automatically turns the heater and
the indicator light OFF after approximately 30
minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be
felt within two to five minutes.

information.
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition exists, the
odometer display will toggle between LoW and
tirE for three cycles.
gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed,
or damaged, a “gASCAP” message will display
in the odometer display area. Tighten the fuel
filler cap properly and push the STEP button on
the steering wheel to turn off the message. If the

change indicator system. The odometer display
will toggle betweenCHAngEandOilfor ap-
proximately 12 seconds, after a single chime
has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle-based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate depen-
dent upon your personal driving style.

Engine Oil Change Indicator System
— If Equipped
Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change Re-
quired” message will display in the EVIC display
for approximately five seconds after a single
chime has sounded to indicate the next sched-
uled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty-cycle based, whichmeans the engine oil change interval may fluc-
tuate dependent upon your personal driving
style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time you place the ignition in the
ON/RUN position. To turn off the message
temporarily, push and release the Trip Odom-
eter button on the instrument cluster. To reset
the oil change indicator system (after perform-
ing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the
following procedure.
1. Place the ignition in the ON position.Do not
start the engine.
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly,
three times within 10 seconds.
3. Place the ignition in the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when
you start the vehicle, the oil change indica-
tor system did not reset. If necessary, repeat
this procedure.
EVIC Steering Wheel Buttons

Compass/Temperature/AudioPush and release theCOMPASSbutton to dis-
play one of eight compass headings to indicate
the direction the vehicle is facing, the outside
temperature, and the current radio station.
Refer to “Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in this section for
additional information regarding the compass.
Average Fuel EconomyShows the average fuel economy since the last
reset (pushing and holding theRIGHTarrow
button as prompted in the EVIC display to
reset). When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will read “RESET” or show dashes for
two seconds. Then, the history information will
be erased, and the averaging will continue from
the last fuel reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)Shows the estimated distance that can be trav-
elled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a weighted
average of the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current fuel tank
level. This is not resettable.NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless
of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a text display of"LOW
FUEL.” This display will continue until the ve-
hicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant
amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
"LOW FUEL"text and a new DTE value will be
displayed, based on the current values in the
DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) — If
Equipped
Refer to “Starting And Operating,” “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) for system
operation.
Elapsed TimeShows the total elapsed time of travel since the
last reset. Elapsed time will increment when the
ignition is placed in the RUN/START position.Elapsed time is displayed as follows:
