Voice TrainingFor users experiencing difficulty with the system
recognizing their voice commands or numbers
the Uconnect Voice “Voice Training” feature
may be used.
1. Push the Voice Command
button, say
“System Setup” and once you are in that
menu then say “Voice Training.”
•This will train your own voice to the system
and will improve recognition.
2. Repeat the words and phrases when

•For best results, the Voice Training ses-
sion should be completed when the ve-
hicle is parked, engine running, all win-
dows closed, and the blower fan switchedoff. This procedure may be repeated with a
new user. The system will adapt to the last
trained voice only.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint
System of the vehicle.
WARNING!
•It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
•Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your vehicle that is not equipped with seats
and seat belts. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seri-
ously injured or killed.
•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Power Seats — If EquippedSome models may be equipped with a power
driver’s seat. The power seat switch is located
on the outboard side of the seat near the floor.
Use the switch to move the seat up, down,
forward, rearward, or to tilt the seat.

•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

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.

WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time.
•Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
Manual Front Seat AdjustmentOn models equipped with manual seats, the
adjusting bar is located at the front of the seats,
near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on
the bar and move the seat forward or rearward.
Release the bar once you have reached thedesired position. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be
sure that the seat adjusters have latched.

Head RestraintsHead restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear impact. Head restraints shouldbe adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be
properly installed and adjusted prior to oper-
ating the vehicle or occupying a seat. Head
restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the
head restraints improperly adjusted or re-
moved could cause serious injury or death in
the event of a collision.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints —
Front Seats
Active Head Restraints (AHRs) are passive,
deployable components, and vehicles with this
equipment cannot be readily identified by any
markings, only through visual inspection of the
head restraint. The head restraint will be split in
two halves, with the front half being soft foam
and trim, the back half being decorative plastic.
When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the
front half of the head restraint extends forward

WARNING!
•All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s
seat until the head restraints are placed in
their proper positions in order to minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
collision.
•
Do not place items over the top of the Active
Head Restraint, such as coats, seat covers
or portable DVD players. These items may
interfere with the operation of the Active
Head Restraint in the event of a collision and
could result in serious injury or death.
•Active Head Restraints may be deployed if
they are struck by an object such as a hand,
foot or loose cargo. To avoid accidental
deployment of the Active Head Restraint
ensure that all cargo is secured, as loose
cargo could contact the Active Head Re-
straint during sudden stops. Failure to follow
this warning could cause personal injury if
the Active Head Restraint is deployed.
Rear Head Restraints
The head restraints in the rear are non adjust-
able. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for infor-
mation on Tether routing.

of time. This is normal and by simply open-
ing the seats to the open position, over time
the seat cushion will return to its normal
shape.
To raise the seatback, pull the strap forward and
lift the seatback into its upright position.

WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely
locked into position. If the seatback is not
securely locked into position the seat will not
provide the proper stability for child seats
and/or passengers. An improperly latched

WARNING!(Continued)
•The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle center
of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid
loss of control resulting in personal injury,
follow these guidelines for loading your
vehicle:
•Always place cargo evenly on the cargo
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far
forward as possible.
•Place as much cargo as possible in front of
the rear axle. Too much weight or improp-
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to
sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•To help protect against personal injury,
passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is
intended for load carrying purposes only,
not for passengers, who should sit in seats
and use seat belts.
