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 ѧWork⬙ 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 UCon- nect™ system.

the UConnect website

NOTE: The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular phone equipped with the Bluetooth ⬙Hands-Free Profile,⬙ version 0.96 or higher. For UConnect Customer Support call 1-877-855-8400 or visit (www.chrysler.com/ uconnect). 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. The diagram below shows the mirror with the appropriate buttons. Individual button behavior is discussed in the ⬙Operation⬙ section.

UConnect™ Switches

The UConnect™ system can be used with any Hands- Free Profile certified Bluetooth™ cellular phone. If your cellular phone supports a different profile (eg., Headset Profile), you may not be able to use any UConnect™ features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the phone manufacturer for details.

80 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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. Operation 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 of the 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 commands: ⬙Phonebook⬙ and ⬙New Entry.⬙ Please re- member, 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. Pair (Link) UConnect™ System to a Cellular Phone To begin using your UConnect™ system, you must pair your compatible Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone (re- fer to ⬙Introduction⬙ section to learn about the phone

82 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• You will be asked to say a four-digit pin number which you will later need to enter into your cellular. 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⬙ section).

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

all the way down to the OFF detent will cause all the interior lights to go out. This allows the doors to stay open for extended periods of time without discharging the vehicle’s battery. The brightness of the instrument panel lighting can be regulated by rotating the dimmer control up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the headlights are ON you can supplement the brightness of the odometer, trip odom- eter, radio and overhead console by rotating the control up until you hear a click. This feature is termed the ⬙Parade⬙ mode and is useful when headlights are re- quired during the day. Battery Saver To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, Load Shed- ding is provided for both the interior and exterior lights. If the ignition is off and any door is left ajar for eight minutes or the dimmer control is rotated upwards for 15
minutes, the interior lights will automatically turn off.

122 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

If the headlights remain on while the ignition is cycled off, the exterior lights will automatically turn off after 8
minutes. If the headlights are turned on and left on for 8
minutes while the ignition is off, the exterior lights will automatically turn off. NOTE: Battery Saver mode is cancelled if the ignition is ON. NOTE: While the engine is running, the system will deactivate the Fog Lights and Heated seats if a low battery system voltage is detected. Headlight Delay To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for 90

Use this button to choose or cycle through the four trip conditions.

Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO) Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. 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 5% 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.

Automatic Compass Calibration This compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL symbol will be displayed.

After completing one 360° turn, with the vehicle traveling less than 5 mph (8 km/h), in an area free from large metal or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally. Manual Compass Calibration

NOTE: To ensure proper compass calibration, make sure the compass variance is properly set before manu- ally calibrating the compass. If the compass appears erratic and the CAL symbol does not appear, you must manually put the compass into the “Calibration” mode. To Put Into a Calibration Mode Turn on the ignition and set the display to “Compass/ Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button for 5
seconds to change the display to VAR (compass variance) mode, holding the button 5 additional seconds will display CAL (compass calibration) mode. When the CAL

symbol is displayed complete one 360 degree turn in an area free from large metal objects or power lines. The CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally. Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic north and geographic north. In some areas of the country, the difference between magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according to the Compass Variance Map.

If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with ⴖProgram- mingⴖ steps 6-8 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the ⬙learn⬙ or ⬙smart⬙ button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 7. Firmly press and release the ⬙learn⬙ or ⬙smart⬙ button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manu- facturer.) NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight. 8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the ⴖpress/hold/releaseⴖ sequence a second time,

rolling code

and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. HomeLink should now activate your equipped device. NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink but- tons, begin with ⬙Programming⬙ step two. Do not repeat step one. For questions or comments, please contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515. Canadian Programming/Gate 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 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.

If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the ⬙Program- ming⬙ procedures (regardless of where you live), replace ⴖProgramming HomeLinkⴖ step 3 with the following: If programming a garage door opener or gate NOTE: operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the ⬙cycling⬙ process to prevent possible overheating. 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release every two seconds (⬙cycle⬙) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by HomeLink. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with ⬙Programming⬙ step four to complete. Using HomeLink To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 147

etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 1-800-355- 3515.

Garage Door Opener Operation with Security Alarm (if equipped) If your vehicle is equipped with the Security Alarm feature, the operation of the HomeLink feature will be purposely inhibited if the Security Alarm is ⬙Armed⬙. This prevents HomeLink operation due to un-authorized

vehicle entry. HomeLink operation will be re-stored when the Security Alarm has been ⬙Disarmed⬙. If you sell your vehicle, be sure to erase the frequencies. To erase all of the previously trained frequencies, hold down both outside buttons until the 2 dots below House Symbol begin to flash (about 20 seconds). This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules and with 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 that may be received including interference that may cause undes- ired operation.

NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly ap- proved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED The power sunroof control is located between the sun visors on the overhead console. Pressing the ⬙open⬙ end of the rocker switch once moves the panel to a comfort stop position short of full opening. Pressing and holding the switch causes the panel to continue moving rearward, up to the full-open position. To close the panel, the ⬙close⬙ end of the switch must be pressed and held. Pressing the “vent” button from a fully closed position, raises the trailing edge of the panel for ventilation. When the panel is venting, pressing the “close” end or the rocker switch returns it to the closed position. Both opening and closing operations in the vent mode occur only while the switch is held.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 149

NOTE: The sunroof will continue to operate for ten minutes after the ignition is turned OFF or until the driver door is opened. This feature may be disabled by your authorized dealer. Express Open Feature During the Express Open operation, any movement of the switch will stop the sunroof and it will remain in a partial open position. Again, momentarily pressing the switch rearward will activate the Express Open Feature. To close the sunroof, hold the switch in the forward position. Again, any release of the switch will stop the movement and the sunroof will remain in a partial open condition until the switch is pushed forward again. To close fully, hold the switch in the forward position until the glass movement has stopped. The sunshade can be opened manually. It will also open as the sunroof opens. The sunshade cannot be closed if the sunroof is open.

WARNING!

WARNING!

Never leave children in a vehicle, with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.

In an accident, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured too. Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow fingers or other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.

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 rear windows open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window. Sunroof Maintenance Use only a nonabrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS This vehicle has three auxiliary power outlets that can provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories de- signed for use with the standard power outlet adapters. The outlet located in the lower portion of the instrument panel has a snap on a plastic cap so that it can be covered when not in use. As a safety precaution, the outlet in the instrument panel only operates with the ignition switch ON. When the optional Cigar Lighter heating element is

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 151

used, it heats when pushed in and pops out automati- cally when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position. There are two additional 12 V/(20 total Amps for both outlets) power outlets, one located in the storage bin of the center console and another located in the right rear cargo area. These outlets can be reconfigured by the customer to operate only when the ignition is ON (switched battery fed) or with the ignition ON or OFF (battery fed) to allow for cellular telephone charging and or operation while the ignition is off. NOTE: All accessories connected to these outlets should be removed or turned OFF when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge (unless the cus- tomer has reconfigured the fuse block to switched battery feed).

152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine OFF (Battery Fed Configuration)

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 discharge the battery even more quickly. Only use these inter- mittently 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 generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

Reconfiguring Power Outlets To reconfigure the outlets, be sure the ignition is OFF before removing the fuse. The reconfigurable fuse loca- tion is a special design that allows the fuse to be installed in two different ways. If the fuse is located in the ⬙Upper or Top Position⬙ the outlets will work at all times. If the fuse is located in the ⬙Lower or Bottom Position⬙ the power outlets will only work when the ignition is ON. NOTE: The fuse block is located in the left side kick panel behind a removable cover near the park brake pedal. A fuse puller is attached to the inside surface of the fuse panel cover to aid in removing fuses, if necessary.

FACTORY INSTALLED ROOF LUGGAGE RACK— IF EQUIPPED

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 155

The side rails between the stantions should be used to tie down cargo. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached. NOTE: Crossbars are offered by Mopar威 accessories. External racks do not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.

The load carried on the roof when equipped with a luggage rack must not exceed 68 kg (150 lbs.), and should be uniformly distributed over the cargo area.

156 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!

WARNING!

To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity. Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately. Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. Place a blanket or other protection between the surface of the roof and the load. Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is espe- cially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

CARGO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM—IF EQUIPPED The cargo management system consists of a removable cargo liner and removable cargo organizer.
