162 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Voice Mail Calling To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to “Working with Automated Systems”. Working With Automated Systems This method is used in instances where one generally has to press numbers on the mobile phone keypad while navigating through an automated telephone system. You can use your Uconnect威 Phone to access a voice mail system or an automated service, such as a paging service or automated customer service line. Some services re- quire immediate response selection. In some instances, that may be too quick for use of the Uconnect威 Phone. When calling a number with your Uconnect威 Phone that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone keypad, you can press the button and say the sequence you wish to enter, followed by the word “Send”. For example, if required to

enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7 4 6 #), you can press the button and say, “3 7 4 6 #Send”. Saying a number, or sequence of numbers, followed by “Send”, is also to be used for navigating through an automated customer service center menu structure, and to leave a number on a pager. You can also send stored Uconnect威 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 button and say, “Send.” The call and then press the system will prompt you to enter the name or number and say the name of the phonebook entry you wish to send. The Uconnect威 Phone will then send the corresponding phone number associated with the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone. NOTE: • You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone

network configurations. This is normal.

• Some paging and voice mail systems have system time out settings that are too short and may not allow the use of this feature.

The battery protection feature will be disabled if the ignition switch is turned to any other position other than LOCK during the eight minute delay.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS The wipers and washers are operated by a switch within the multifunction lever. Rotate the end of the multifunc- tion lever to select the desired wiper speed.

WARNING!

Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before and during windshield washer use.

Intermittent Wiper System Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause be- tween cycles desirable. Rotate the end of the multifunc- tion lever to the first detent position, and then turn the end of the lever to select the desired delay interval. There are five delay settings, which allow you to regulate the wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle every second to a maximum of approximately 18 seconds between

cycles. The delay intervals will double in duration when the vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less. Windshield Wiper Operation Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first detent past the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second detent past the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper opera- tion. Windshield Washers To use the Washer, push on the end of the lever to the second detent and hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while on the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume the intermittent inter- val previously selected. If the lever is pushed while the wipers are in the off position, the wipers will operate several wipe cycles, then turn off.

Mist Feature Press the end of the multifunction lever inward (toward the steering column) to the first detent and release for a single wiping cycle. NOTE: The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be used in order to spray the windshield with washer fluid. Rear Wiper And Washer Rotating the rotary ring to the first detent activates the rear intermittent wipers. To activate the washers, rotate the rotary ring fully forward and the washers will spray until the ring is released, and then resume the intermit- tent interval. NOTE: Rear window wipers function in the intermittent wiper speed only.

Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped This feature senses moisture on the windshield and automatically activates the wipers for the driver. This feature is especially useful for road splash or overspray from the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of the five intermittent wiper sensitivity settings to activate this feature. The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the multifunction lever. Wiper sensitivity position 3 has been calibrated for best overall wiping sensitivity. If the opera- tor desires more wiping sensitivity, they may select sensitivity positions 4 or 5. If the operator desires less wiping sensitivity, they may select sensitivity positions 2
or 1. Place the multifunction lever in the OFF position when not using the system.

The Rain Sensing system has protective features for the wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the following conditions: • Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the ignition is first switched ON, and the vehicle is stationary, and the outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C), unless the wiper control on the multifunction lever is moved, or the vehicle speed becomes greater than 0 mph (0 km/h), or the outside temperature rises above freezing. • Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the ignition is ON, and the transmis- sion shift lever is in the NEUTRAL position, and the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h), unless the wiper control on the multifunction lever is moved or the shift lever is moved out of the NEUTRAL position.

• Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped with Remote Starting system, Rain Sensing wipers are not operational when the vehicle is in the remote start mode. Once the operator is in the vehicle and has placed the ignition switch in the RUN position, rain sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has been selected, and no other inhibit conditions (mentioned previously) exist.

TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN This feature allows you to tilt the steering column upward or downward. It also allows you to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The tilt/telescoping lever is located below the steering wheel at the end of the steering column.
