WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in the passenger-side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your passenger-side convex mirror could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other object. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the passenger-side convex mirror.

Exterior Mirrors Folding Feature — If Equipped Some models have exterior mirrors that are hinged. The hinge allows the mirror to pivot forward and rearward to resist damage. The hinge has three detent positions, full forward, full rearward, and normal. Power Remote Control Mirrors The power mirror switch is located on the driver’s door trim panel next to the power door lock switch. A rotary knob selects the left mirror, right mirror, or off position. After selecting a mirror, move the knob in the same direction you want the mirror to move.

HANDS-FREE COMMUNICATION (UConnect姞) — IF EQUIPPED

NOTE: The sales code RER, REN and REU radios contain an integrated Hands-Free Communication (UConnect威) system. Refer to your “Navigation User’s Manual” for UConnect威 system operating instructions for these radios. UConnect威 is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle com- munications system. UConnect威 allows you to dial a phone number with your cellular phone using simple voice commands (e.g., ⬙Call” ѧ “Mike” ѧ”Work⬙ or ⬙Dial” ѧ “248-555-1212⬙). Your cellular phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system will automatically mute your radio when using the UConnect威 system. NOTE: The UConnect威 system requires a cellular phone equipped with the Bluetooth威 ⬙Hands-Free Profile,⬙ Ver- sion 0.96 or higher. See the UConnect威 website for supported phones.

UConnect威 allows you to transfer calls between the system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your vehicle and enables you to mute the system’s microphone for private conversation. The UConnect威 phonebook enables you to store up to 32
names, with four numbers per name. Each language has a separate 32-name phonebook accessible only in that language. This system is driven through your Bluetooth威 “Hands-Free profile” cellular phone. UConnect威 features Bluetooth威 technology - the global standard that enables

different electronic devices to connect to each other without wires or a docking station, so UConnect威 works no matter where you stow your cellular phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is turned on and has been paired to the vehicle’s UConnect威 system. The UConnect威 system allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to the system. Only 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.

The UConnect威 system can be used with any Hands-Free Profile certified Bluetooth威 cellular phone. See the UConnect威 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 UConnect威 features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the phone manufacturer for details. The UConnect威 system is fully integrated with the vehi- cle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect威 system can be adjusted either from the radio volume control knob or from the steering wheel radio control (right switch), if so equipped.

80 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The radio display will be used for visual prompts from the UConnect威 system such as ⬙CELL⬙ or caller ID on certain radios. Operation Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect威 system and to navigate through the UConnect威 menu structure. Voice commands are required after most UConnect威 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 ⬙Ready⬙ prompt or another prompt. • For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For example, instead of saying ⬙Setup⬙ and then ⬙Phone Pairing,⬙ the following compound command can be said: ⬙Setup Phone Pairing.⬙

• 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 ⬙Phonebook New Entry,⬙ or you can break the combined form command into two voice commands: ⬙Phonebook⬙ and ⬙New Entry.⬙ Please remember, the UConnect威 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 ⬙Help⬙ following the beep. The UConnect威 system will play all the options at any prompt if you ask for help.

To activate the UConnect威 system from idle, simply press the PHONE button and follow the audible prompts for directions. All UConnect威 system sessions begin with a press of the PHONE button on the radio control head. Cancel Command At any prompt, after the beep, you can say ⬙Cancel⬙ and you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a few instances the system will take you back to the previous menu. Pair (Link) UConnect威 System to a Cellular Phone To begin using your UConnect威 system, you must pair your compatible Bluetooth威 enabled cellular phone. To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer- ence your cellular phone Owner’s Manual. The UConnect威 website may also provide detailed instruc- tions for pairing.

follow the audible prompts.

The following are general phone to UConnect威 system pairing instructions: • Press the PHONE button to begin. • After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say • When prompted, after the beep, say ⬙Pair a Phone⬙ 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 UConnect威 system a name for your cellular phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be given a unique phone name.

82 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• 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 UConnect威 system. However, at any given time, only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to your UConnect威 system. The priority allows the UConnect威 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 UConnect威 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 ⬙Advanced Phone Connectivity⬙ in this section).

General Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired op- eration.

VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

Voice Recognition System (VR) Operation

This Voice Recognition System allows you to control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio, disc player, and a memo recorder.

In a stressful situation, take care to speak into NOTE: the Voice Interface System as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of the Voice Interface System to

recognize user voice commands may be negatively af- fected by rapid speaking or a raised voice level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only in safe driving conditions and all attention should be kept on the roadway ahead. Failure to do so may result in an accident causing serious injury or death.

When you press the VR hard-key, you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a command. If you do not say a command within a few NOTE: seconds, the system will present you with a list of options. If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists options, press the VR hard-key, listen for the beep, and say your command.

Pressing the VR hard-key while the system is speaking is known as “barging in.” The system will be interrupted and you can add or change commands. This will become helpful once you start to learn the options. NOTE: At any time, you can say the words CANCEL, HELP, or MAIN MENU. These commands are universal and can be used from any menu. All other commands can be used depending upon the active application. For example, if you are in the disc menu and you are listening to FM radio, you can speak commands from the disc menu or from the FM radio menu. When using this system, you should speak clearly and at a normal speaking volume. The system will best recognize your speech if the win- dows are closed, and the heater/air-conditioning fan is set to low.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 105

At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your commands, you will be prompted to repeat it. To hear the first available Menu, press the VR hard-key and say HELP or MAIN MENU. Commands The Voice Recognition System understands two types of commands. Global commands are available at all times. Local commands are available if the supported radio mode is active. Changing the Volume 1. Start a dialogue by pressing the VR hard-key. 2. Say a command (e.g., HELP). 3. Use the ON/OFF VOLUME rotary knob to adjust the volume to a comfortable level while the voice recognition system is speaking.

Tapping the lever to RESUME ACCEL once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped speed increases, so tapping the lever three times will increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h), etc.

To decrease speed while speed control is set, push down and hold the lever in SET DECEL. Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and a new set speed will be established. Tapping the lever to SET DECEL once will result in a 1
mph (1.6 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the lever is tapped, speed decreases. To Accelerate For Passing Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed. Using Speed Control on Hills NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. The automatic transmission will downshift while climb- ing uphill or descending downhill. This downshift is necessary to maintain vehicle set speed.

On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur, so it may be preferable to drive without speed control.

WARNING!

Speed control can be dangerous where the system can’t maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions and you could lose control. An accident could be the result. Don’t use speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.

Programming HomeLink姞

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 131

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 standards. 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 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for safety information or assistance.

WARNING!

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.

Before You Begin If you have not trained any of the HomeLink威 buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds. The EVIC will display “CLEARING CHAN- NELS.” Release the buttons when the EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.” It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink威 for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage while training. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.

132 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLink威 buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view. For optimal training, point the battery end of the hand- held transmitter away from the HomeLink威. 3. Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLink威 button and the hand-held transmitter button until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” Then release both the HomeLink威 and hand-held trans- mitter buttons. If the EVIC display states “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat Step 3. If the signal is too weak, replace the battery in the original hand-held transmitter. 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. 4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink威 button. If the channel has been trained, the EVIC display will now state “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT.” If the EVIC display still states “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” repeat Step 3. NOTE: After training a HomeLink威 channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLink威 and the garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may have rolling code. If so, proceed to the heading “Programming 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).

To program the remaining two HomeLink威 buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

134 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 transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink威 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 HomeLink” Step 3 with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink威 button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLink威

has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The EVIC display will change from “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time. Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink威” earlier in this section. Using HomeLink姞 To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink威 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 HomeLink姞 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 HomeLink威 button for 20
seconds until the EVIC display states “CHANNEL # TRAINING.” Do not release the button. 3. Without releasing the button, proceed with Program- ming HomeLink威 Step 2 and follow all remaining steps. 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 EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.” Note that all channels will be erased. Indi- vidual channels cannot be erased.

Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, then adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

Center Console Power Outlet

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 141

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off

CAUTION!

• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from

the vehicle’s battery even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting.

• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum

cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and with greater caution.

• After the use of high power draw accessories or long

periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not

hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage.
