INTRODUCING VOICE RECOGNITION
Start using Uconnect Voice Recognition (VR) with 
these helpful quick tips. It provides the key Voice 
Commands and tips you need to know to control 
your system.
BASIC VOICE COMMANDS
The following basic Voice Commands can be given 
at any point while using your Uconnect system.
Push the VR button on the steering wheel.
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.
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 also say the 
vehicle “Wake Up” word and state your 
command.
NOTE:The factory default Wake Up word is set to
“Hey Uconnect” and can be reprogrammed 
through the Uconnect Settings. After the beep, say:
A passenger can press the VR button shortcut 
on the radio status bar to also issue a 
command.
You can interrupt the help message or system 
prompts by pushing the VR button and saying a 
Voice Command or saying the vehicle’s “Wake 
Up” word and saying a command from the 
current category.

CLIMATE VOICE COMMANDS
Adjust vehicle temperatures hands-free and keep 
everyone comfortable while you keep moving 
ahead. (If vehicle is equipped with climate control.)
Push the VR button on the steering wheel. After the 
beep, say one of the following commands:
“Set driver temperature to  70 degrees ”
“Set passenger temperature to  70 degrees ”
Did you know : Voice Command for Climate may only 
be used to adjust the interior temperature of your 
vehicle. Voice Command will not work to adjust the 
heated seats or steering wheel if equipped.
OPERATING TIPS 
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for 
suggested control settings for various weather 
conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with 
a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper 
corrosion protection and to protect against engine 
overheating. OAT coolant (conforming to 
MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster 
performance, make sure the engine cooling 
system is functioning properly and the proper  amount, type, and concentration of coolant is 
used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during 
Winter months is not recommended, because it 
may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage  
For information on maintaining the Climate Control 
system when the vehicle is being stored for an 
extended period of time, see  Ú
page 357.
Window Fogging 
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, 
rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the 
windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase 
the front blower speed. Do not use the 
Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods, 
as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of 
the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as 
leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may 
reduce airflow, and if they enter the air distribution 
box, they could plug the water drains. In Winter 
months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice, 
slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter  
The Climate Control system filters out dust and 
pollen from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to 
service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced 
when needed.
Stop/Start System — If Equipped
While in an Autostop, the Climate Control system 
may automatically adjust airflow to maintain cabin 
comfort. Customer settings will be maintained 
upon return to an engine running condition.

132STARTING AND OPERATING  
AUTOPARK
AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist with 
placing the vehicle in PARK under certain 
situations. It is a back-up system and should not be 
relied upon as the primary method by which the 
driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will engage 
are outlined on the following pages. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK
 that your vehicle is in 
PARK by looking for the “P” in the instrument 
cluster display and on the gear selector. As an 
added precaution, always apply the parking brake.
If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver 
attempts to turn off the engine, if certain 
conditions are met, the vehicle will AutoPark, 
automatically shifting the vehicle’s transmission to 
the PARK position. The gear selector will 
automatically reset itself to the PARK position. The 
vehicle’s ignition will then move to the OFF position 
(engine off). When AutoPark is activated the 
instrument cluster will display the message 
“AutoPark Engaged”.
AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions 
are met:
Vehicle is equipped with a gear selector
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less
Driver has pushed the ENGINE START/STOP 
button If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver exits the 
vehicle with the engine running, if certain 
conditions are met, the vehicle will AutoPark, 
automatically shifting the vehicle’s transmission to 
the PARK position. The Electric Park Brake SAFE 
HOLD feature will also activate in some conditions  
Ú
page 138.
AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions

Driver’s door is ajar
Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled
Brake pedal is not pressed
The message “ AutoPark Engaged ” will display in 
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
Driver inattention could lead to failure to place 
the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL 
CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by verifying 
that a solid (not blinking) “P” is indicated in 
the instrument cluster display and near the 
gear selector. If the “P” indicator is blinking, 
your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added 
precaution, always apply the parking brake 
when exiting the vehicle.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not 
designed to replace the need to shift your 
vehicle into PARK. It is a back up system and 
should not be relied upon as the primary 
method by which the driver shifts the vehicle 
into PARK.
CAUTION!
Engine will remain running.

NGINE
The idle speed is controlled automatically and it 
will decrease as the engine warms up.
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START 
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the 
following precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after 
the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, 
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above 
idle speed.
Before shifting into any gear, make sure your 
foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.WARNING!
If vehicle speed is not below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) 
when the driver shifts into PARK, the 
transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the 
vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) 
and the above conditions are met, enabling 
AutoPark. A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL position 
can roll. As an added precaution, always apply 
the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into 
the throttle body air inlet opening in an 
attempt to start the vehicle. This could result 
in flash fire causing serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to 
get it started. Vehicles equipped with an auto -
matic transmission cannot be started this 
way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic 
converter and once the engine has started, 
ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery, 
booster cables may be used to obtain a start 
from a booster battery or the battery in 
another vehicle. This type of start can be 
dangerous if done improperly  Ú page 300.
