Universal Remote
System
See Radio Frequency
Statement0452.
Universal Remote
System Programming
If equipped, these buttons are
in the overhead console.
This system can replace up to
three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems,
and home automation devices.
These instructions refer to a
garage door opener, but can
be used for other devices. Do not use the Universal
Remote system with any
garage door opener that does
not have the stop and reverse
feature. This includes any
garage door opener model
manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Read these instructions
completely before
programming the Universal
Remote system. It may help to
have another person assist
with the programming
process.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future
programming. Erase the
programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing Universal Remote
System Buttons”
later in this
section.
To program a garage door
opener, park outside directly in
line with and facing the garage

instrument cluster light will
come on to indicate the
IntelliBeam is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn
off automatically if the system
cannot detect another
vehicle's lamps because of any
of the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps
are missing, damaged,
obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps
are covered with dirt, snow,
and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps
cannot be detected due to
dense exhaust, smoke, fog,
snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne
obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is
dirty, cracked, or obstructed
by something that blocks the
view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such
that the front end points
upward, causing the light sensor to aim high and not
detect headlamps and
taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven
on winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam
headlamps may need to be
disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for
others to see the front of your

functional DRL are required on
all vehicles first sold in
Canada.
The dedicated DRL will come
on when all of the following
conditions are met:
.The ignition is on.

the ignition is off. For vehicles
first sold in Canada, the DRL
can only be turned off when
the vehicle is parked.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When the exterior lamp
control is set to AUTO and it is
dark enough outside, the
headlamps come on
automatically.
There is a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Do
not cover the sensor.
The system may also turn on
the headlamps when driving
through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a
dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light
outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a
slight delay before the
automatic headlamp system
changes to the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL). During that delay, the instrument
cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel
Illumination Control
0156.
When it is bright enough
outside, the headlamps will
turn off or may change
to DRL.
The automatic headlamp
system turns off when the
exterior lamp control is turned
to

For vehicles sold in Canada,
this control only works when
the transmission is in P (Park).

lamp control is in AUTO, the
headlamps, parking lamps, and
other exterior lamps come on.
The transition time for the

Battery Power
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained,
if the interior courtesy lamps
or reading lamps are
accidentally left on. If any of
these lamps are left on, they
automatically turn off after
10 minutes, if the ignition is off.
The lamps will not come back
on again until one of the
following occurs:
.The ignition is turned on.
.The doors are closed and
then re-opened.
Exterior Lighting
Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off
about 10 minutes after the
vehicle is turned off, if the
parking lamps or headlamps
have been manually left on.
This protects against draining
the battery. To restart the
10-minute timer, turn theexterior lamp control to the
O
position and then back to the

190 Infotainment System
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition
allows for hands-free
operation within the
navigation, audio, phone, and
weather applications. This
feature can be started by
pressing
gon the steering
wheel or touching
gon the
infotainment display.
However, not all features
within these areas are
supported by voice
commands. Generally, only
complex tasks that require
multiple manual interactions to
complete are supported by
voice commands.
For example, tasks that take
more than one or two touches,
such as a song or artist to play
from a media device, would be
supported by voice
commands. Other tasks, like
adjusting the volume or
seeking up or down, are audio
features that are easily
performed by touching one or two options, and are not
supported by voice
commands.
In general there are flexible
ways to speak commands for
completing the tasks.
If your language supports it,
try stating a one-shot
command, such as
“Directions
to address city, state/province>.” Do not
include the ZIP code while
stating the address during the
command. Another example of
a one-shot Destination Entry
command is, “Directions to
Place of Interest at .” If
these commands do not work,
try saying, “Take me to Place
of Interest” or“Find address”
and the system will walk you
through by asking additional
questions.
Hybrid Speech
Recognition
If equipped, this feature helps
distinguish words by using
Internet-based information along with the system’s voice
recognition database. This
allows you to speak more
naturally when using voice
recognition.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes
available once the system has
been initialized. This begins
when the ignition is turned on.
Initialization may take a few
moments.
1. Press
gon the steering
wheel controls to activate
voice recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the system plays a
prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands described in
this section.
A voice recognition system
prompt can be interrupted
while it is playing by
pressing
gagain.

dialing the number.
Phone Assistant Voice
Recognition
Press and holdgon the
steering wheel controls to
pass through and launch
Google phone assistant or Siri.
For the low radio, whether
connected by Bluetooth or
phone projection, the only
available voice recognition is
either Siri (iPhone) or the
Google Assistant (Android).
Phone
Bluetooth (Overview)
The Bluetooth-capable system
can be paired with up to 10
Bluetooth devices and two
active Bluetooth devices,
allowing:
.Placement and receipt of
calls in a hands-free mode.
.Sharing of the device’s
address book or contact list
with the vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction,
before driving, and with the
vehicle parked:
.Become familiar with the
features of the mobile
device. Organize the phone
book and contact lists clearly
and delete duplicate or
rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed
dial or other shortcuts.
.Review the controls and
operation of the
infotainment system.
.Pair mobile device(s) to the
vehicle. The system may not
work with all mobile devices.
See “Pairing” later in this
section.
Vehicles with a Bluetooth
system can use a
Bluetooth-capable mobile
device with a Hands-Free
Profile to make and receive phone calls. The infotainment
system and voice recognition
are used to control the
system. The system can be
used while the ignition is on or
in accessory mode. The range
of the Bluetooth system can
be up to 9.1 m (30 ft). Not all
mobile devices support all
functions and not all mobile
devices work with the
Bluetooth system. Visit your
brand website for more
information about compatible
mobile devices. See Online
