Phone Call Features The following features can be accessed through the UConnectt system if the feature(s) are available on your cellular service plan. For example, if your cellular service plan provides three-way calling, this feature can be accessed through the UConnectt system. Check with your cellular service provider for the features that you have.

Press the PHONE button to place the current call on hold and answer the incoming call. NOTE: The UConnectt system compatible phones in the market today do not support rejecting an incoming call when another call is in progress. Therefore, the user can only answer an incoming call or ignore it. Making a Second Call While Current Call in Progress To make a second call while you are currently on a call, press the “Voice Recognition” button and say 9Dial9 or 9Call9 followed by the phone number or phonebook entry you wish to call.

† After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say 9Emergency9 and the UConnectt system will instruct the paired cellular phone to call the emergency num- ber. This feature is supported in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

NOTE: The emergency number dialed is based on the country where the vehicle is purchased (911 for the U.S. and Canada and 060 for Mexico). The number dialed may not be applicable with the available cellular service and area. The UConnectt system does slightly lower your chances of successfully making a phone call as to that for the cell phone directly. Your phone must be turned on and paired to the UConnectt system to allow use of this vehicle feature in emergency situations, when the cell phone has network coverage and stays paired to the UConnectt system.

Paging To learn how to page, refer to 9Working with Automated Systems.9 Paging works properly except for pagers of

118 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

certain companies, which time out a little too soon to work properly with the UConnectt system. Voice Mail Calling To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to 9Working with Automated Systems.9
Working with Automated Systems This method is used in instances where one generally has to press numbers on the cellular phone keypad while navigating through an automated telephone system. You can use your UConnectt system to access a voice mail system or an automated service, such as a paging service or automated customer service line. Some ser- vices require immediate response selection. In some instances, that may be too quick for use of the UConnectt system. When calling a number with your UConnectt system that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone

sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can press the “Voice Recognition” button and say the sequence you wish to enter, followed by the word 9Send.9 For example, if required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7
4 6 #), you can press the “Voice Recognition” button and say, 93 7 4 6 # Send.9 Saying a number, or sequence of numbers, followed by 9Send,9 is also to be used for navigating through an automated customer service cen- ter menu structure, and to leave a number on a pager. You can also send stored UConnectt phonebook entries as tones for fast and easy access to voice mail and pager entries. To use this feature, dial the number you wish to call and then press the “Voice Recognition” 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. The UConnectt system will then send the corresponding phone number associated with the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.

network configurations; this is normal.

NOTE: † You may not hear all of the tones due to cellular phone † 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 Recognition” button can be used when you wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice recognition command immediately. For example, if a prompt is asking 9Would you like to pair a phone, clear a{,9 you could press the “Voice Recognition” button and say, 9Pair a Phone9 to select that option without having to listen to the rest of the voice prompt. Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system from confirming your choices (e.g., the UConnectt sys- tem will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 119

† Press the PHONE button to begin. † After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say 9Setup Confirmations.9 The UConnectt system will play the current confirmation prompt status and you will be given the choice to change it. Phone and Network Status Indicators If available on the radio and/or on a premium display such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by your cell phone, the UConnectt system will provide notification to inform you of your phone and network status when you are attempting to make a phone call using UConnectt. The status is given for roaming, net- work signal strength, phone battery strength, etc. Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone keypad and still use the UConnectt system (while dial- ing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise caution and take precautionary safety measures). By

120 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

dialing a number with your paired Bluetootht cellular phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s audio system. The UConnectt system will work the same as if you dial the number using voice recognition. NOTE: Certain brands of mobile phones do not send the dial ring to the UConnectt system to play it on the vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this situation, after successfully dialing a number the user may feel that the call did not go through even though the call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will hear the audio. Mute/Un-Mute (Mute Off) When you mute the UConnectt system, you will still be able to hear the conversation coming from the other party, but the other party will not be able to hear you. In order to mute the UConnectt system: † Press the “Voice Recognition” button.

† Following the beep, say 9Mute.9
In order to un-mute the UConnectt system: † Press the “Voice Recognition” button. † Following the beep, say 9Mute off.9
Advanced Phone Connectivity

REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Rear Park Assist System provides visual and audible indications of the distance between the rear fascia and the detected obstacle when backing up. When backing up the driver should also use the inside rearview and outside mirrors. The Rear Park Assist System will remember the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the RUN/ON position. The Rear Park Assist System can be active only when the transaxle gear selector lever is in REVERSE. When in REVERSE, the system scans for objects behind the vehicle using four sensors located in the rear bumper.

NOTE: The system will be active until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately 11 mph (18 km/h) or above. The system will be active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately 10
mph (16 km/h). Rear Park Assist Sensors The four Rear Park Assist Sensors, located in the rear fascia, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The monitored area seems oval in shape. The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi- mately 11.8 in (30 cm) up to 78.7 in (200 cm) from the rear fascia in the horizontal direction, depending on the location and orientation of the obstacle and the type of obstacle.

Rear Park Assist Warning Display The Rear Park Assist Warning Display, located in the headliner near the liftgate glass, provides both visual and audible warnings to indicate the distance between the rear fascia and the detected obstacle.

WARNING!

Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the Rear Park Assist System. Always check care- fully behind your vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before backing up. You are responsible for the safety of your surroundings and must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. Before using the Rear Park Assist System, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly be disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia when the warning display turns the red LEDs on. Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assem- bly, depending on its size and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 173

CAUTION!

† To avoid vehicle damage the Rear Park Assist System should only be used as a parking aid and is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small objects. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity to the rear of the vehicle. † To avoid vehicle damage the vehicle must be driven slowly when using the Rear Park Assist System to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver look over his/her shoulder when using the Rear Park Assist System.

WARNING!

Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training the Universal Transceiver. Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by Federal safety stan- dards. This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515

Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger- ous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri- ous injury or death.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINKT

Before You Begin If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes. It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage when programming. Begin Programming 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Hold the battery side of the hand-held transmitter away from the HomeLinkt button you wish to program. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLinkt button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLinkt indicator changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held transmitter buttons.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 185

Watch for the HomeLinkt indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open and close while you train. NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace Step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section. NOTE: After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLinkt and the garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may have a rolling code. If so, proceed to Step 5 “Programming A Rolling Code Sys- tem.” 4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkt button and observe the indicator light.

186 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door (or device) should activate when the HomeLinkt button is pressed. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds, and then turns to a constant light, proceed to Step 5 “Pro- gramming A Rolling Code System.” 5. Programming A Rolling Code System At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “Learn” or “Training” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open and close the door).

6. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the “Learn” button has been pressed. 7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLinkt button twice (holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete. If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the training. If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance. To program the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 187

Using HomeLinkt To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLinkt button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc. The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. Reprogramming a Single Homelinkt Button To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Press and hold the desired HomeLinkt button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the button. 3. Without releasing the button, proceed with Program- ming Homelinkt Step 2 and follow all remaining steps.

188 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

GATE OPERATOR/CANADIAN PROGRAMMING Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of trans- mission – which may not be long enough for HomeLinkt to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to time-out in the same manner. It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or gate motor. If you are having difficulties programming a garage door opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming HomeLinkt” Step 3, with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLinkt button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLinkt

has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained. If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time. Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLinkt,” earlier in this section. SECURITY It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in your vehicle. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes. Note that all channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be erased. The HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver is disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS If you are having trouble programming HomeLinkt, here are some of the most common solutions: † Replace the battery in the original transmitter. † Press the “Learn” button on the Garage Door Opener † Did you unplug the device for training, and remember

to complete the training for a Rolling Code.
