A two-point pivot system allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the mirror. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 79 Annoying headlight glare can be reduced by moving the small control under the mirror to the night position (toward rear of truck). The mirror should be adjusted while set in the day position (toward windshield). Automatic Dimming Mirror — If Equipped This mirror will automatically adjust for annoying head- light glare from vehicles behind you. You can turn the feature on or off by pressing the button at the base of the mirror. A light in the button will indicate when the dimming feature is activated. 80 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning, never spray any cleaning solution directly onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the mirror clean. Outside Mirrors To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s) to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror. Exterior Mirrors Folding Feature — If Equipped Folding exterior mirrors are hinged and may be moved either forward or rearward to resist damage.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 81 To adjust a mirror, turn the control wand toward the left or right mirror positions indicated. Tilt the control wand in the direction you want the mirror to move. When finished adjusting the mirror, turn the control to the center position to prevent accidentally moving a mirror. 82 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! Vehicles and other objects seen in the right side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your right side 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 right side mirror. Heated Mirrors — If Equipped Heated mirrors are automatically activated when you depress the rear window defroster switch located on the instrument panel. The light will illuminate to indicate that the heating elements are ON. Turning Off the rear window defroster or the ignition will deactivate the heated mirrors. HANDS–FREE COMMUNICATION (UConnect™) — IF EQUIPPED UConnect™ is a voice-activated, hands-free, in- vehicle communications system. UConnect™ 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 trans- mitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system will automatically mute your radio when using the UConnect™ system. NOTE: The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular phone equipped with the Bluetooth ⬙Hands-Free Profile,⬙ version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones. UConnect™ 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 micro- phone for private conversation. The UConnect™ phonebook enables you to store up to 32 names and four numbers per name. Each language has a separate 32 name phonebook accessible only in that language. This system is driven through your Blue- tooth™ Hands-Free profile cellular phone. UConnect™ features Bluetooth™ technology - the global standard that enables different electronic devices to connect to each other without wires or a docking station, so UCon- nect 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™ system. The UConnect™ system allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to 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 (as equipped). The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the system and the control buttons that will enable you to access the system. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 83 UConnect™ Switches The UConnect™ system can be used with any Hands- Free Profile certified Bluetooth™ cellular phone. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones. If your cellular phone supports a different profile (e.g., 84 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Headset Profile), you may not be able to use any UCon- nect™ features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the phone manufacturer for details. The UConnect™ system is fully integrated with the vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect™ system can either be adjusted 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 UConnect™ system such as ⬙CELL⬙ or caller ID on certain radios. Operations Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect™ system and to navigate through the UConnect™ menu structure. Voice commands are required after most UConnect™ 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 voice on 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 either use the combined form voice command ⬙Phonebook New Entry,⬙ or you can break the combined form command into two voice com- mands: ⬙Phonebook⬙ and ⬙New Entry.⬙ Please remem- ber, the UConnect™ system works best when you talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to some one sitting eight feet away from you. Voice Command Tree Refer to “Voice Tree” at the end of this section. Help Command If you need assistance at any prompt or if you want to know what your options are at any prompt, say ⬙Help⬙ following the voice on beep. The UConnect™ system will play all the options at any prompt if you ask for help. To activate the UConnect™ system from idle, simply press the ’Phone’ button and follow audible prompts for directions. All UConnect™ system sessions begin with a press of the ’Phone’ button on the mirror. Cancel Command At any prompt, after the voice on 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. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 85 Pair (Link) UConnect™ System to a Cellular Phone To begin using your UConnect™ system, you must pair your compatible Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone. NOTE: The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular phone equipped with the Bluetooth ⬙Hands-Free Profile,⬙ version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones. To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer- ence your cellular phone owner’s manual.

You can enter any four-digit pin number. You will not need to remember this pin number after the initial pairing process. • The UConnect™ system will then prompt you to begin the cellular phone pairing process on your cellular phone. Before attempting to pair phone, please see your cellular phone’s user manual (Bluetooth section) for instructions on how to complete this step. • For identification purposes, you will be prompted to give the UConnect™ 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, 1 being the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to your UConnect™ system. However, at any given time, only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to your UConnect™ System. The priority allows the UConnect™ 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™ 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⬙). call. ⬙Dial.⬙ Dial by Saying a Number • Press the ’Phone’ button to begin. • After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say • System will prompt you to say the number you want • For example, you can say ⬙234-567-8901.⬙ The phone number that you enter must be of valid length and combination.

This display mode becomes less sensitive to instantaneous changes in fuel consumption as the number of total vehicle miles since the last reset increases. It is suggested that this mode be reset periodically for general operation or when driving conditions change significantly (for example, at the end of a trip or when a trailer is connected or disconnected). Distance To Empty (DTE) Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank. The estimated distance is determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. When Distance To Empty = 0, the fuel gauge pointer will initially be on the red “E” marker. At this point (fuel gauge pointer on the the red “E” marker) there is reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds to approximately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions in areas where there aren’t many gas stations. NOTE: The Distance To Empty will remain equal to zero, until the vehicle runs out of fuel or is refueled. Trip Odometer (ODO) This display shows the distance traveled since the last reset. Elapsed Time (ET) This display shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last reset. C/T Button Compass/Temperature Display UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 129 WARNING!

To reset the Trip Odometer, press and hold the button while in trip mode, until the Trip Odometer resets. 156 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, GASCAP will be displayed in the instrument cluster. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the odom- eter reset button to turn the GASCAP message off. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started. 17. Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. There- fore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. 18. Transmission Temperature Indicator This light indicates that there is excessive trans- mission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in NEU- TRAL until the light goes off. 19. Does not Apply This indicator is not available. 20.

Odometer/Trip Odometer Button Press this button to toggle between the odometer and the trip odometer display. Holding the button in resets the trip odometer reading. RADIO RECEPTION INFORMATION AM Reception AM radio signals usually travel longer distances than FM signals, especially at night. These longer distance AM signals can cause AM stations to interfere with one another. Noise from storms and power lines can also interfere with AM reception. Reducing the treble can reduce some of the noise. INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 159 FM Reception FM Stereo signals produce better sound quality than AM signals. However, FM signals will only travel approxi- mately 10 to 40 miles (16 to 64 km). Tall structures or hills can cause interference with FM signals causing the sound to cut out. ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK The clock and radio each use the display panel built into the radio. A digital readout shows the frequency and/or time in hours and minutes (depending on your radio model) whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. When the ignition switch is in the “OFF” position, or when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keep- ing is accurately maintained. On the AM/FM/CD (6-disc) radio the time button alter- nates the location of the time and frequency on the SALES CODE REF — AM/FM/CD (SINGLE DISC) RADIO WITH OPTIONAL SATELLITE RADIO AND HANDS FREE PHONE CAPABILITY NOTE: The radio sales code is located on the lower right
