UCONNECT VOICE RECOGNITION QUICK TIPS
Introducing Voice Recognition
Start using Uconnect Voice Recognition with
these helpful quick tips. It provides the key Voice
Commands and tips you need to know to control
your vehicle’s Voice Recognition (VR) system.
Uconnect 3

Get Started
The VR button is used to activate /deactivate
your Voice Recognition system.
Helpful hints for using Voice Recognition:
Reduce background noise. Wind noise and
passenger conversations are examples of
noise that may impact recognition.
Speak clearly at a normal pace and volume
while facing straight ahead.
Each time you give a Voice Command, first
push the VR button, wait until after the beep,
then say your Voice Command.
You can interrupt the help message or
system prompts by pushing the VR button
and saying a Voice Command from the
current category.
Basic Voice Commands
The basic Voice Commands below can be given
at any point while using your Uconnect system.
Push the VR button . After the beep, say:
“
Cancel ” to stop a current voice session.
“Help ” to hear a list of suggested Voice
Commands.
“ Repeat ” to listen to the system prompts
again.
Notice the visual cues that inform you of your
Voice Recognition system’s status.

lever to O (Off) position, and then to the
headlight position.
The indicator light telltale in the instrument
panel comes on. The lights stay on until the next

WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on
the right side of the steering column.
NOTE:
The windshield wipers/washers will only
operate with the ignition in the MAR (ACC/ON/
RUN) position.
Front Wiper Operation
There are five different modes of operation for
the front windshield wipers. The windshield
wiper lever can be moved in several positions to
access these modes.

Windshield Wiper Lever
Windshield Wiper Off
This is the normal position of the
wiper lever.
Low Speed Rotate the end of the lever upward to
the second detent. The wipers will
operate at low speed.
High Speed Rotate the end of the lever upward to
the third detent. The wipers will
operate at high speed.
Intermittent Wiper System
Rotate the end of the lever upward to
the first detent. The wipers will
operate at intermittent speed. When
the vehicle's speed increases, the
time between the wipes will decrease.
Windshield Washers
Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward
the steering wheel to activate the washers. The
wipers will activate automatically for three
cycles after the lever is released.
Manual High Speed/Mist
Push the lever upward from the off position. The
wipers will operate at high speed to clear off
road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. This
operation will continue until the lever is
released. When the lever is released, the wipers
will return to the off position and automatically
shut off.
CAUTION!
Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to
the windshield wipers may result if the wiper
control is left in any position other than off.
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the engine.
If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is
restarted.
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the wind -
shield wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

the ON/RUN position.
 The fuel pump arrow symbol points
to the side of the vehicle where the
fuel door is located.
3. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature. Any reading within
the normal range indicates that the
engine cooling system is operating satis -
factorily.
The pointer will likely indicate a higher
temperature when driving in hot weather
or up mountain grades. It should not be
allowed to exceed the upper limits of the
normal operating range. 4. Tachometer

Instrument Cluster Display Location

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle will be equipped with an
instrument cluster display, which offers useful
information to the driver. With the ignition in the
OFF mode, opening/closing of a door will
activate the display for viewing, and display the
total miles, or kilometers, in the odometer. The
steering wheel mounted controls allow you to
scroll through the main menus and submenus.
You can access the specific information you
want and make selections and adjustments.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by steam
or boiling coolant. You may want to call an
authorized dealer for service if your vehicle
overheats Ú
page 229.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads “H,” pull over and
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H,” turn the engine off
immediately and call an authorized dealer for
