NOTE: The sales code RER radio contains an inte- grated Hands-Free Communication (UConnect™) sys- tem. Refer to your “Navigation User’s Manual” for UConnect™ system operating instructions for this ra- dio. 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., 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 UConnect™ system.


NOTE: The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular phone equipped with the Bluetooth 9Hands-Free Profile,9
version 0.96 or higher. See UConnect™ website for sup- ported phones. NOTE: For UConnect™ customer support, visit the following web sites: † www.chrysler.com/uconnect † www.dodge.com/uconnect † www.jeep.com/uconnect † or call 1–877–855–8400
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™ phone book enables you to store up to 32 names and four numbers per name. Each language has a separate 32-name phone book 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).

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™ system can be used with any Hands- Free Profile certified Bluetooth™ cellular phone. See UConnect™ 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™ 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 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 UConnect™ system such as 9CELL9 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 beep, which follows the 9Ready9 prompt or another prompt.


† 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 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 your options at any prompt, say 9Help9 following the 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 radio control head.

help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System” in Section 5 of this manual for more information about ABS.


WARNING!


ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ABS- equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reck- less or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.


TCS (Traction Control System)


This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a limited slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains active even if TCS and ESP are in either the “Partial Off” or “Full Off” modes. Refer to “ESP (Electronic Stability Program)” in this section for more information.


BAS (Brake Assist System) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the anti-lock brake system (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of the system, you must apply continuous brak- ing pressure during the stopping sequence (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.

WARNING!


BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.

ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicles speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel it then applies the brake of the appropriate wheel and may also reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or evasive driving maneuvers. ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors such as road conditions, leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.

NOTE: Anytime the ESP system is in the “Full Off” mode, ERM is disabled. Refer to ESP (Electronic Stability Program) for a complete explanation of the available ESP modes.


WARNING!


Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ERM-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopar- dize the user’s safety or the safety of others.


ESP (Electronic Stability Program)


This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition. En- gine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path. ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESP applies the brake of the appropri- ate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition.

The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 located in the instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 also flashes when TCS is active. If the 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.

The ESP system has 3 available operating modes in 4WD High Range, 2 available operating modes on 2WD ve- hicles, and 1 operating mode in 4WD Low Range.


High Range (4WD Models) or 2WD Models


On This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD high range and in 2WD vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is started or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD low range or neutral back to 4WD high range, the ESP system will be in this “On” mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” or “Full Off” mode for specific reasons as noted below. Partial Off This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the 9ESP OFF” switch. When in 9Partial Off9 mode, the TCS portion of ESP, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 will be illuminated. All other stability features of ESP function normally. This mode is intended to be used if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand,


or gravel conditions and more wheel spin than ESP would normally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the 9ESP OFF” switch. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation.


ESP OFF Switch


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 145


NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pressing the ESP switch. Once the situation requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing the “ESP OFF” switch. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. Full Off (4WD Models Only) This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use when ESP stability features could inhibit vehicle maneu- verability due to trail conditions. This mode is entered by depressing and holding the “ESP OFF” switch for 5
seconds when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running. After 5 seconds, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will illuminate, and the 9ESP OFF9 message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual for more information.


146 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


In this mode, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At 40
mph (64 km/h) the system returns to “Partial Off” mode, described above. When the vehicle speed drops below 35
mph (56 km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is deacti- vated at low vehicle speeds so that it will not interfere with off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will always be illumi- nated when ESP is off. To turn ESP on again, momen- tarily depress the “ESP OFF” switch. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation. NOTE: The “ESP OFF” message will display and the audible chime will sound when the gear selector is placed into the “P” (Park) position from any other position, and then moved out of the “P” (Park) position. This will occur even if the message was previously cleared.


WARNING!


With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. The “Full Off” ESP mode is intended for off-road use only.


4WD Low Range


Full Off This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD low range. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD low range, or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD high range or neutral to 4WD low range, the ESP system will be in this “Full Off” mode. In 4WD low range, ESP and TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches


a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h). At 40 mph (64 km/h), the normal ESP stability function returns but TCS remains off. When the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56
km/h), the ESP system shuts off. ESP is deactivated at low vehicle speeds in 4WD low range so that it will not interfere with off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 will always be illuminated in 4WD low range when ESP is off. NOTE: The “ESP OFF” message will display and the audible chime will sound when the gear selector is placed into the “P” (Park) position from any other position, and then moved out of the “P” (Park) position. This will occur even if the message was previously cleared

WARNING!


With the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver, the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability. The “Full Off” mode is intended for off- road use only.


TSC (Trailer Sway Control) TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces- sively swaying trailer and will take the appropriate actions to attempt to stop the sway. The system may reduce engine power and apply the brake of the appro- priate wheel(s) to counteract the sway of the trailer. TSC will become active automatically once an excessively swaying trailer is recognized. No driver action is re- quired. Note that TSC cannot stop all trailers from


148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recommendations. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in Section 5 of this manual for more information on towing a trailer with your vehicle. When TSC is functioning, the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will flash, the engine power may be reduced and you may feel the brakes being applied to individual wheels to attempt to stop the trailer from swaying. TSC is disabled when the ESP system is in the Partial Off or Full Off modes.


WARNING!


If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.


HSA (Hill Start Assist) (4WD Models with NV245
Two–Speed Transfer Case Only) The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressure the driver applied for a short period of time after the driver takes their foot off of the brake pedal. If the driver does not apply the throttle during this short period of time, the system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will roll down the hill. The system will release brake pressure in proportion to amount of throttle applied as the vehicle starts to move in the intended direction of travel.


HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: † Vehicle must be stopped. † Vehicle must be on a 8% grade or greater hill. † Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle back- ing uphill is in R (Reverse) gear).


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 149


WARNING!


There may be situations on minor hills (i.e., less than 8%), with a loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer, when the system will not activate and slight rolling may occur. This could cause a collision with another vehicle or object. Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle.


HSA will work in R (Reverse) and all forward gears when the activation criteria have been met. The system will not activate if the vehicle is placed in N (Neutral) or P (Park).


Towing with HSA HSA will provide assistance when starting on a grade when pulling a trailer.


150 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


WARNING!


† If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer, your trailer brakes may be activated and deactivated with the brake switch. If so, when the brake pedal is released there may not be enough brake pressure to hold the vehicle and trailer on a hill and this could cause a collision with another vehicle or object behind you. In order to avoid rolling down the hill while resuming acceleration, manually activate the trailer brake prior to releas- ing the brake pedal. Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle. † HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the vehicle on a hill without putting the transmission in P (Park) and using the parking brake, it will roll down the hill and could cause a collision with another vehicle or object. Always remember to use the parking brake while parking on a hill, and that the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle.


HSA Off If you wish to turn off the HSA system, it can be done using the Customer Programmable Features in the Elec- tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Elec- tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual. HDC (Hill Descent Control) (4WD Models with NV245 Two–Speed Transfer Case Only) HDC maintains vehicle speed while descending hills during off-road driving situations and is available in 4
LOW range only. To enable HDC (transfer case must be in 4 LOW range), press the HDC switch. If the HDC switch is pressed when the vehicle is not in 4 LOW range, the light in the switch will flash for 5 seconds and HDC will not be enabled.


UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 151


and will only activate when the vehicle is descending a hill. It will usually not activate on level ground. The HDC speed may be adjusted by the driver to suit the driving conditions. The speed corresponds to the trans- mission gear selected. † 1st = 1 mph (1.6 km/h) † 2nd = 2.5 mph (4 km/h) † 3rd = 4 mph (6 km/h) † 4th = 5.5 mph (9 km/h) † 5th = 7.5 mph (12 km/h) † Reverse (R) = 1 mph (1.6 km/h) † Neutral (N) = 2.5 mph (4 km/h) † Park (P) — HDC will not function


Hill Descent Switch


When HDC is enabled properly, the message “HILL DESCENT CONTROL” will appear in the EVIC and the light in the switch will be illuminated. HDC will auto- matically apply the brakes to control downhill speed when necessary. HDC has the capability to sense terrain


152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE


HDC also has the capability to sense rough terrain, and will automatically adjust to a slightly slower set speed (about.3 mph (.5 km/h) than normal. HDC operation can be overridden with brake application to slow the vehicle down below the HDC control speed. Conversely, if more speed is desired during HDC control, the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed in the usual manner. When either the brake or the accelerator is released, HDC will control the vehicle back to the origi- nal set speed. HDC is intended for low speed off-road driving only. At vehicle speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h), HDC will no longer function. When the vehicle speed drops below 30
mph (48 km/h), HDC function will automatically resume and the vehicle speed will return to the chosen set speed.


WARNING!


HDC is only intended to assist the driver in control- ling vehicle speed when descending hills. The driver must remain attentive to the driving conditions and is responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.


ESP/BAS Warning Lamp and ESP/TCS Indicator Light


The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” and the yellow “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should both go out with the engine running.


If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a mal- function has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system, or both. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48
km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected. NOTE: † 9The 9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9 and the 9ESP/BAS Warning Lamp9 come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. † Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System † The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active.
