REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
— IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the RKE Key Fob
to start the engine conveniently
from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system
has a range of approximately 300 ft
(91 m). Obstructions between the
vehicle and RKE Key Fob may reduce this
range.NOTE:
•The vehicle must be equipped with an
automatic transmission to be equipped
with Remote Start.
•Obstructions between the vehicle and the
RKE Key Fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote StartAll of the following conditions must be met
before the engine will remote start:
•Gear selector in PARK
•Doors closed
•Hood closed
•Hazard switch off
•Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pushed)
•Ignition RKE Key removed from ignition
•Battery at an acceptable charge level
•System not disabled from previous remote
start event
•Vehicle Security Alarm not active
WARNING!
•Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas con-
tains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide
is poisonous and can cause serious injury
or death when inhaled.
•Keep RKE Key Fobs away from children.
Operation of the Remote Start System,
windows, door locks or other controls

Enhanced Accident Response System
Reset Procedure
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Re-
sponse System functions after an event, the
ignition must be changed from the START or
ON/RUN position to the OFF position. Carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine
compartment and on the ground near the en-
gine compartment and fuel tank before resetting
the system and starting the engine.
Air Bag Warning Light
The air bags must be ready to
inflate for your protection in a colli-
sion. The Occupant Restraint Con-
troller (ORC) monitors the internal
circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical com-
ponents.The ORC monitors the readiness of the elec-
tronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition is placed in the START or ON/RUN
position. If the ignition is in the OFF position or
in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on
and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bags even if the
battery loses power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition
is first placed in the ON/RUN position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn
off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part
of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound to alert you if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument panel Air Bag Warning
Light if a malfunction is detected that could
affect the air bag system. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction. While theair bag system is designed to be maintenance
free, if any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system
immediately.
•The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the
ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN posi-
tion.
•The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after
the four to eight-second interval.
•The Air Bag Warning Light comes on inter-
mittently or remains on while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any en-
gine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may
also be disabled. In this condition the air
bags may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Have an authorized dealer ser-
vice the air bag system immediately.

and make a second phone call, as described
under “Making a Second Call While Current Call
is in Progress.” After the second call has estab-
lished, push and hold the Phone
button until
you hear a double beep, indicating that the two
calls have been joined into one conference call.
Call Termination
To end a call in progress:
1. Momentarily push the Phone
button.
•Only the active call(s) will be terminated
and if there is a call on hold, it will become
the new active call. If the active call isterminated by the phone far end, a call on
hold may not become active automatically.
This is cell phone-dependent.
2. To bring the call back from hold, push and
hold the Phone
button until you hear a
single beep.
Redial
To redial the last number called from your
mobile phone using Voice Command:

the Uconnect Phone.
Call Continuation
Call continuation is the progression of a phone
call on the Uconnect Phone after the vehicle
ignition has been switched to OFF. Call continu-ation functionality available on the vehicle can
be any one of three types:
1. After the ignition is switched to OFF, a call
can continue on the Uconnect Phone either
until the call ends, or until the vehicle battery
condition dictates cessation of the call on the
Uconnect Phone and transfer of the call to
the mobile phone.
2. After the ignition is cycled to OFF, a call can
continue on the Uconnect Phone for a cer-
tain duration, after which the call is automati-
cally transferred from the Uconnect Phone to
the mobile phone.
3. An active call is automatically transferred to
the mobile phone after the ignition is cycled
to OFF.

tomer service line. Some services require im-
mediate 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 Command
button and say the sequence you wish to
enter, followed by the word “Send.” For ex-
ample, if required to enter your PIN followed
with a pound, (3746#),youcanpush the
Voice Command

Send.” Saying a number, or sequence of num-
bers, followed by “Send,” is also to be used for
navigating through an automated customer ser-
vice center menu structure, and to leave a
number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect phonebook
entries as tones for fast and easy access to
voice mail and pager entries. To use this fea-
ture, 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. TheUconnect Phone will then send the correspond-
ing phone number associated with the phone-
book 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 Command
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

display such as the instrument panel cluster,
and supported by your mobile phone, the
Uconnect Phone will provide notification to in-
form you of your phone and network status
when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect Phone. The status is given for
network signal strength, phone battery strength,
etc.

CAUTION!
•Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough,
the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or pre-
vent the engine from starting.
•Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and with
great caution.
•After the use of high power draw accesso-
ries, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the gen-
erator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.CUPHOLDERS
