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.

WARNING!

Electronic Power Mirrors – If Equipped

Vehicles and other objects seen in a right side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your right side convex mirror could cause you to collide with an- other vehicle or other object. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the right side convex mirror. Some vehicles will not have a convex right side mirror.

Exterior Mirrors Folding Feature All 6 x 9 inch exterior mirrors are hinged and may be moved either forward or rearward to resist damage. The hinges have three detent positions; full forward, full rearward, and normal.

NOTE: The sales code RER, REN and REU radios contain an integrated Hands-Free Communication (UConnectt) system. Refer to your “Navigation User’s Manual” for UConnectt system operating instructions for these radios. UConnectt is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle communications system. UConnectt allows you to dial a phone number with your cellular phone using simple voice commands (e.g., 9Call” { “Mike” {”Work9 or 9Dial” { “248-555-12129). Your cellular phone’s audio is trans- mitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system will automatically mute your radio when using the UConnectt system.

For UConnectt customer support, visit

NOTE: The UConnectt system requires a cellular phone equipped with the Bluetootht 9Hands-Free Profile,9 Ver- sion 0.96 or higher. See the UConnectt website for supported phones. NOTE: following websites: † www.chrysler.com/uconnect † www.dodge.com/uconnect † www.jeep.com/uconnect † or call 1–877–855–8400
UConnectt 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.

92 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The UConnectt 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 Bluetootht “Hands-Free profile” cellular phone. UConnectt features Bluetootht technology - the global standard that enables different electronic devices to connect to each other without wires or a docking station, so UConnectt 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 UConnectt system. The UConnectt 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 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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 93

† 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. Cancel Command At any prompt, after the beep, you can say 9Cancel9 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) UConnectt System to a Cellular Phone To begin using your UConnectt system, you must pair your compatible Bluetootht enabled cellular phone.

To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer- ence your cellular phone Owner’s Manual. The UConnectt website may also provide detailed instruc- tions for pairing. The following are general phone to UConnectt system pairing instructions: † Press the PHONE button to begin. † After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say † 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.

follow the audible prompts.

9Setup Phone Pairing.9

† 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).

For example, in the U.S., 234-567-890 is nine digits long, which is not a valid U.S. phone number - the closest valid phone number has 10 digits. † The UConnectt system will confirm the phone num- ber and then dial.

NOTE: After every UConnectt language change opera- tion, only the language-specific 32-name phonebook is usable. The paired phone name is not language-specific and usable across all languages. Emergency Assistance If you are in an emergency and the mobile phone is reachable: † Pick up the phone and manually dial the emergency

number for your area.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 103

If the phone is not reachable and the UConnectt system is operational, you may reach the emergency number as follows: † Press the PHONE button to begin. † After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say 9Emergency9 and the UConnectt system will instruct the paired cellular phone to call the emergency num- ber. This feature is supported in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

NOTE: The emergency number dialed is based on the country where the vehicle is purchased (911 for the U.S. and Canada and 060 for Mexico). The number dialed may not be applicable with the available cellular service and area. The UConnectt system does slightly lower your chances of successfully making a phone call as to that for the cell phone directly.

104 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Your phone must be turned on and paired to the UConnectt system to allow use of this vehicle feature in emergency situations, when the cell phone has network coverage and stays paired to the UConnectt system. Towing Assistance If you need towing assistance: † Press the PHONE button to begin. † After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Towing Assistance.9

NOTE: The Towing Assistance number dialed is based on the country where the vehicle is purchased (1-800-528- 2069 for the U.S., 1-877-213-4525 for Canada, 55-14-3454
for Mexico City and 1-800-712-3040 for outside Mexico City in Mexico). Please refer to the 24-Hour “Towing Assistance” cover- age details in the Warranty Information Booklet and on the 24–Hour Towing Assistance Card.

Paging To learn how to page, refer to 9Working with Automated Systems.9 Paging works properly except for pagers of certain companies, which time out a little too soon to work properly with the UConnectt system. Voice Mail Calling To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to 9Working with Automated Systems.9
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

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 105

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

network configurations; this is normal.

Barge In - Overriding Prompts The “Voice Recognition” button can be used when you wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice recognition command immediately. For example, if a prompt is asking 9Would you like to pair a phone, clear a{,9 you could press the “Voice Recognition” button and say, 9Pair a Phone9 to select that option without having to listen to the rest of the voice prompt.

106 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system from confirming your choices (e.g., the UConnectt sys- tem will not repeat a phone number before you dial it). † 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 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. † Following the beep, say 9Mute.9
In order to un-mute the UConnectt system: † Press the “Voice Recognition” button. † Following the beep, say 9Mute off.9

To Set At A Desired Speed When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, press and release the SET button. Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed. To Deactivate A soft tap on the brake pedal, normal braking, clutch pressure while slowing the vehicle, or pressing the CAN- CEL button will deactivate speed control without erasing the memory. Pushing the ON/OFF button to the OFF position or turning off the ignition erases the memory.

WARNING!

Leaving the Speed Control ON when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system to cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have an accident. Always leave the sys- tem OFF when you aren’t using it.

To Resume Speed To resume a previously set speed, push and release the RESUME button. Resume can be used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h). To Vary The Speed Setting When the speed control is on, speed can be increased by pressing and holding the ACCEL button. When the button is released, a new set speed will be established.

Tapping the RESUME ACCEL button once will result in a speed increase of 1 mph (2 km/h). Each time the button is tapped, speed increases so that tapping the button three times will increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h). Tapping the SET DECEL button once will result in a 1
mph (2 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped, speed decreases. For example, tapping the button three times will decrease the speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h) To decrease speed while speed control is ON, push down and hold SET DECEL. Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set. To Accelerate For Passing Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed. NOTE: When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000 ft (610 m), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded (especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the SET speed.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 147

If the vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40 km/h), the speed control will automatically disengage. If this hap- pens, you can push down on the accelerator pedal to maintain the desired speed. Vehicles equipped with a 5–speed-manual transmission should be operated in 4th gear or lower under the above conditions. Vehicles equipped with a Automatic transmission may exhibit several downshifts under the above conditions. To reduce the frequency of the downshifts and to im- prove vehicle performance, it is advisable to use either TOW HAUL or O/D OFF modes, which can be selected by pressing the TOW HAUL O/D OFF button located at the end of the gear shift lever.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 151

Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO) Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. Average fuel economy is a running average of the amount of fuel used and the distance the vehicle has traveled. When the fuel economy is reset, the display will momen- tarily blank. Then, the history will be erased, and the AVERAGING WILL CONTINUE FROM WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE RESET. The reset value is based on a minimal amount of fuel used and the distance traveled from the previous drive cycle. The display may take several miles/kilometers for this value to change depen- dent upon driving habits.

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

152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Distance To Empty (DTE) Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is determined by weighted average of the instantaneous and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. This is not resettable NOTE: Significant changes in driving style or vehicle loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value. When the DTE value is less than 30 mi (48 km/h) estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change to an alternating test display of “LO” and “FUEL”. This display will continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the “LO FUEL” text and a new DTE value will be displayed, based on the current values in the DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level.

It is possible for DTE to display “LO FUEL” NOTE: before the low fuel warning light turns on in the instru- ment cluster. This could occur because low fuel warning is set to a specified fuel tank volume and DTE is an estimated distance calculation based on fuel economy and remaining fuel tank volume. Ram fuel tank volumes are as follows: † 26 gal (98 L) - 1500 short box models † 34 gal (128 L) - 1500 Quad Cabt (if equipped)/2500/ † 35 gal (132 L) - 1500/2500/3500//Power Wagon long

NOTE: The maximum value is approximately 6000 mi (9956 km/h). Then the trip odometer must be reset in order to update the trip odometer miles/kilometers. This display shows the distance traveled since the last reset. Resetting of this screen will cause the trip odometer to change to zero. Elapsed Time (ET) This display shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last reset. Resetting the Elapsed Time will cause the display to change to zero.

Use this button to select a readout of the outside tem- perature and one of eight compass headings that indicate the direction in which the vehicle is facing.

154 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

Even if the display still reads a few degrees above 32° F ( 0° C), the road surface may be icy, particularly in woods or on bridges. Drive carefully under such conditions to prevent an accident and possible per- sonal injury or property damage.

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 up to three 360° turns, 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. Recalibrating The Compass Turn ON the ignition and set the display to “Compass/ Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button to change the display between VAR (compass variance) and CAL (compass calibration) modes. When the CAL sym- bol is displayed, complete one 360° turn in an area free from large metal objects or power lines. The CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function normally. NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from the overhead console. This is where the compass sensor is located.

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.

156 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE: The default for the compass variance is zone 8. To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON and set the display to “Compass/Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button approximately five seconds. The last vari- ance zone number will be displayed. Press the STEP button to select the new variance zone and press the RESET button to resume normal operation. Outside Temperature Because the ambient temperature sensor is located un- derhood, engine temperature can influence the displayed temperature, therefore, temperature readings are slowly updated when the vehicle speed is below 20 mph (30
km/h) or during stop and go driving.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED HomeLinkt replaces up to three remote controls (hand- held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting, or home security systems. The HomeLinkt unit operates off of your vehi- cle’s battery. The HomeLinkt buttons are located in the overhead console, and contain one, two, or three dots/lines desig- nating the different HomeLinkt channels.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 157

WARNING!

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 stan- dards. 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

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.

Programming HomeLinkT

Before You Begin The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) illuminates the HomeLinkt symbol (a house with an arrow inside it) along with 1, 2 or 3 indicators under it, when a HomeLinkt button is pressed. Pay attention to the indicator(s), as they will flash at different rates, or remain solid during training.

If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds. Release the buttons when the indicators start to flash. It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt, 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. 2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8
cm) from the HomeLinkt buttons, while keeping the HomeLinkt display in view.

For optimal training, point the battery end of the hand- held transmitter away from the HomeLinkt. 3. Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLinktbutton and the hand-held transmitter button until the indicator(s) change from a slow to a rapid flash rate. Then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held trans- mitter buttons. It may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open & close while you train. If the signal is too weak to train, replace the battery in the original hand-held transmitter.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 159

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 HomeLinkt button. If the indicator(s) blink rapidly for two seconds and then remains constant, continue with the next section: Pro- gramming A Rolling Code System. NOTE: After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLinkt 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.”

160 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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 & close the door).

1 — Garage Door Opener 2 — Training Button 6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the “Learn” button has been pressed.

7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLinkt button twice (holding the button for 2 sec- onds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete. If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for 2 seconds) to complete the training. If you are have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance. To program the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels. 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 HomeLinkt to pick up the signal during programming.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 161

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 HomeLinkt button, while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”), your hand-held transmitter until HomeLinkt has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator(s) will change from a slow flash, to a rapid flash when trained. If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time.

162 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Then proceed with Step 4 under, “Programming HomeLinkt,” earlier in this section. Using HomeLinkT To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLinkt 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 HomeLinkT 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 HomeLinkt button, for 20
seconds, until the indicator(s) starts to flash. Do not release the button.

3. Without releasing the button, proceed with PRO- GRAMMING HOMELINKt, 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 indicators begin to flash. Note that all channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be erased. The HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver is disabled when the Vehicle Theft Alarm is active. Troubleshooting Tips If you are having trouble programming HomeLinkt, here are some of the most common solutions: † Replace the battery in the original transmitter.

† Press the “Learn” button on the Garage Door Opener † Did you unplug the device for training, and remember

to complete the training for Rolling Code.
