Integrated Child Seat — If Equipped Operating instructions for the second row bench seat with Integrated Child Seat are included with the seat. If the instructions are not with the seat or in the Owner’s Manual Package, replacement instruction can be ob- tained.

To obtain Integrated Child Seat replacement instruc- tions: Refer to Publication Order Forms at the back of this manual and specify publication number 81–016–8050. Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it. Children 12 years and younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.

Second Row Bench Seat With Integrated Child Seat

WARNING!

In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.

Infants and Small Children There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat owner’s manual to ensure you have the right seat for your child. Use the restraint that is correct for your child.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 81

† Safety

experts

recommend that

children ride rearward-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). Two types of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant carriers and 9convertible9 child seats. Both types of child restraints are held in the vehicle by the lap/ shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “Lower Anchors and Tether for CHil- dren (LATCH)” later in this section. † The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for children who weigh up to about 20 lbs (9 kg). 9Convertible9 child seats can be used either rearward-facing or forward-facing in the vehicle. Convertible child seats often have a higher weight limit in the rearward-facing direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used rearward-facing by children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old.

82 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

† Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. † Rearward-facing child seats and infant carriers must NEVER be used while the second row Swivel ’n Go seats are in the rearward-facing position.

WARNING!

Never place any child seat or infant carrier in the Swivel ’n Go seat while it is in the rearward-facing position. The swivel seat should be locked in the forward position when using any child seat or infant carriers, with the vehicle in motion. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death.

Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older than one year. These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)” later in this section. An aftermarket belt-positioning booster seat is for chil- dren weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to properly fit the vehicle’s seat belts. If the child can not sit with knees bent over the vehicles seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/

shoulder belt. (Some booster seats are equipped with a front shield and are held in the vehicle by the lap portion.) Children Too Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat. † Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. † The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug

as possible.

slouching can move the belt out of position.

† Check belt fit periodically. A child’s squirming or † If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.

WARNING!

† Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint. † A rearward-facing child restraint should only be used in a rear seat. A rearward-facing child re- straint in the front seat may be struck by a deploy- ing passenger airbag which may cause severe or fatal injury to the infant. † Occupants riding in Swivel ’n Go seating must be wearing their seat belt and the seat must be locked in either the forward or rearward position. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death.

Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: † Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. We also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it. † The restraint must be appropriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. † Carefully follow the instructions that come with the restraint. If you install the restraint improperly, it may not work when you need it.

† The passenger seat belts are equipped with cinching latch plates, which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not neces- sary to use a locking clip. Pulling up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt. The cinching latch plate will keep the belt tight, how- ever, any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary. † In the rear seat, you may have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle end of the belt several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the release button facing out. † If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle

restraint manufacturer’s directions.

around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure, try a different seating position. † Buckle the child into the seat according to the child † When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from the vehicle. Don’t leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious personal injury.

Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH) Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. Two LATCH child restraint anchor- age systems are installed on all second-row seats and in the center position on all 3rd row fold-in-floor seats. Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages,

86 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

located in the rear surface of the seatback. In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the center seating position.

LATCH Anchorages

When using the tether anchorages in the outboard seat- ing positions, ensure that the strap is routed underneath the top of the seatback and the head restraint.

Rear Seat Tether Strap Mounting

When using the tether anchorages in the center position on third row fold-in-floor seating, ensure that the strap is routed underneath the top of the seatback and the head restraint.

WARNING!

An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products. If your child restraint seat is not LATCH com- NOTE: patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 87

Because the lower anchorages are to be introduced to passenger carrying vehicles over a period of years, child restraint systems having attachments for those anchor- ages will continue to have features for installation in vehicles using the lap or lap/shoulder belt. They will also have tether straps, and you are urged to take advantage of all of the available attachments provided with your child restraint in any vehicle. NOTE: When using the LATCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out of reach of children. It is recommended that before installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach. If the buckled seat belt interferes with the child restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, route the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This should stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inquisitive child.

88 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Remind all children in the vehicle that the seat belts are not toys and should not be played with, and never leave your child unattended in the vehicle. Installing the Child Restraint System We urge that you carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Many, but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector and a means for adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward-facing toddler restraints and some rearward-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook and means for adjusting the tension in the strap. In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower anchorages and tether anchorages. Then tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the seat.

Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, carefully follow the instruc- tions that come with the child restraint system.

WARNING!

Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.

Transporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet could be thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in a collision.

Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts.

REAR SEAT DELETE FEATURE (COMMERCIAL VEHICLES ONLY) — IF EQUIPPED Commercial cargo vehicles are not designed for use as a family vehicle and are not intended for carrying children in the front passenger seat. However, if you must carry a child in a vehicle without a rear seat, the passenger seat should be moved to the full rearward position and the child must be in a proper restraint system based on it’s age, size and weight. NEVER carry a child in a rear facing infant carrier in a vehicle without rear seats. In an accident, serious injury or death may occur from the deploying passenger airbag.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 89

Commercial Child Restraint Tether Anchor

This vehicle is equipped with a child restraint tether anchor located on the lower rear of the front passenger seat. Use this tether anchor to secure only forward facing child restraints equipped with an upper tether strap.

90 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

Rearward-facing infant restraints must never be se- cured in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. In an accident a passenger airbag may deploy causing severe injury or death to infants riding in rearward-facing infant restraints.

Restraining Infants and Small Children with Seat Delete Feature (Commercial Vehicles Only) There are different sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Use the restraint that is correct for your child: † The rearward-facing infant carrier is for babies weigh- ing up to about 20 lbs (9 kg), and less than one year old. THIS TYPE OF SEAT CANNOT BE USED IN A

VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE REAR SEAT DE- LETE FEATURE (Commercial Vehicles Only). † The forward-facing child seat is for children from about 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg), and more than one year old. † A “convertible” child seat, one that is designed to be used for children who are too heavy for a rearward- facing infant seat, may be used IN THE FORWARD FACING POSITION ONLY, IT MUST NEVER BE INSTALLED FACING TO THE REAR IN A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE REAR SEAT DELETE FEA- TURE (Commercial Vehicles Only). When a convert- ible seat is properly installed facing forward, the vehicle seat should be adjusted to the rear most position.

† Children more than 40 lbs (18 kg) should be secured in the passenger seat in a child restraint or belt- positioning booster seat with the seat adjusted to the rear most position. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled in the passenger seat with the seat adjusted to the rear most position. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.

Tether Installation For Commercial Vehicles With Rear Seat Delete To secure the child restraint upper tether strap to the vehicle, follow the instructions shown: 1. Locate the child restraint tether anchor on the lower rear of the front passenger seat. 2. Follow the child restraint manufacturer’s directions for proper use of connecting the child restraint to the extended tether strap.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 91

3. Route the tether strap under the head rest. NOTE: Ensure that the child restraint tether strap is centered between the headrest supports underneath the head rest. 4. Using the hook attached to the child restraint tether strap, attach the child restraint tether strap to the metal anchor on the lower rear of the front passenger seat. 5. Following the child seat manufacturer’s instructions, tighten the child restraint tether strap. 6. Inspect the tether anchor strap for nicks, abrasions, discoloration, and loose threads. If these, or any other condition that might effect the performance of the strap is observed, DO NOT USE. Contact your authorized DaimlerChrysler dealership for a replacement part.

92 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

The vehicle tether anchor is designed to be used with a child restraint only. It should not be used for any other purpose. Before use, inspect the tether anchor strap for nicks, abrasions, discoloration, and loose threads. If these or any other condition that might effect the performance of the strap is observed, DO NOT USE. Personal injury may result. Contact your authorized DaimlerChrysler dealership for a replace- ment part.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS A long break-in period is not required for the engine in your vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 mi (500 km). After the initial 60 mi (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80
or 90 km/h) are desirable. While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration, within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri- mental and should be avoided. The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy-conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintenance Procedures” 7. NON- DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE USED.

Section

in

A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty.

SAFETY TIPS

SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD MAKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE

Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question regarding belt or retractor condition, replace the belt.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 93

Airbag Light The light should come on and remain on for four seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the LED is not lit during starting and/or the light stays on or comes ON while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. Defroster Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. You should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield. If the defroster is not working or you are unable NOTE: to feel air against the windshield in defrost mode, please see your authorized dealer service center for repairs.

94 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

PERIODIC SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD MAKE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

Exhaust Gas

Tires Examine tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect tread and sidewall for cuts or cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness, and tires (includ- ing spare) for proper pressure. Lights Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or fuel, power steering fluid, trans- mission fluid or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately.

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. To avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below.

Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer than needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area. If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling controls to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

WARNING!

If you are required to drive with the deck lid / liftgate open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the climate control blower switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recirculation mode.

one linked (or paired) cellular phone can be used with the system at a time. The system is available in English, Spanish, or French languages. Phone Button

The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the system (depending on the type of mirror and radio equipped), and either the radio or the mirror has the two control buttons (PHONE Button and VOICE RECOGNITION button) that will enable you to access the system. Voice Recognition Button

Actual button location may vary with radio. The individual buttons are described in the “Operation” section.

106 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The UConnectt system can be used with any Hands-Free Profile certified Bluetootht cellular phone. See the UConnectt website for supported phones. If your cellu- lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnectt features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the phone manufacturer for details. The UConnectt system is fully integrated with the vehi- cle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnectt system can be adjusted either from the radio volume control knob or from the steering wheel radio control (right switch), if so equipped. The radio display will be used for visual prompts from the UConnectt system such as 9CELL9 or caller ID on certain radios.

Operation Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnectt system and to navigate through the UConnectt menu structure. Voice commands are required after most UConnectt system prompts. You will be prompted for a specific command and then guided through the available options. † Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for the beep, which follows the 9Ready9 prompt or another prompt. † For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For example, instead of saying 9Setup9 and then 9Phone Pairing,9 the following compound command can be said: 9Setup Phone Pairing.9
† For each feature explanation in this section, only the combined form of the voice command is given. You can also break the commands into parts and say each part of the command when you are asked for it. For

example, you can use the combined form voice com- mand 9Phonebook New Entry,9 or you can break the combined form command into two voice commands: 9Phonebook9 and 9New Entry.9 Please remember, the UConnectt system works best when you talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone sitting a few feet/meters away from you.

Voice Command Tree Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section. Help Command If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to know your options at any prompt, say 9Help9 following the beep. The UConnectt system will play all the options at any prompt if you ask for help. To activate the UConnectt system from idle, simply press the PHONE button and follow the audible prompts for directions. All UConnectt system sessions begin with a press of the PHONE button on the radio control head.

follow the audible prompts.

† When prompted, after the beep, say 9Pair a Phone9 and † You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Identi- fication Number (PIN), which you will later need to enter into your cellular phone. You can enter any four-digit PIN. You will not need to remember this PIN after the initial pairing process. † For identification purposes, you will be prompted to give the UConnectt system a name for your cellular phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be given a unique phone name. † You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a priority level between 1 and 7, with 1 being the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to your UConnectt system. However, at any given time, only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to your UConnectt system. The priority allows the UConnectt system to know which cellular phone to

use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority 3 and priority 5
phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnectt system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you make a call. You can select to use a lower priority cellular phone at any time (refer to 9Advanced Phone Connectivity9 in this section).

names in the phonebook with each name having up to

four associated phone numbers and designations. Each language has a separate 32-name phonebook accessible only in that language. Phonebook Download UConnectt allows the user to download entries from their phone via Bluetootht. To use this feature, press the PHONE button and say “Phonebook Download.” The system prompts, “Ready to accept “V” card entry via Bluetootht…” The system is now ready to accept phone- book entries from your phone using the Bluetootht Object Exchange Profile (OBEX). Please see your phone Owner’s Manual for specific instructions on how to send these entries from your phone. NOTE: † The phone handset must support Bluetootht OBEX

transfers of phonebook entries to use this feature.

† Some phones cannot send phonebook entries if they are already connected to any system via Bluetootht, and you may see a message on the phone display that the Bluetootht link is busy. In this case, the user must first disconnect or drop the Bluetootht connection to the UConnectt system, and then send the address book entry via Bluetootht. Please see your phone Owner’s Manual for specific instructions on how to drop the Bluetootht connection. † If the phonebook entry is longer than 24 characters, it

will only use the first 24 characters.

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.

† 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.
