UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 85

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

86 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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.

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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 87

• 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.

88 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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

type). To complete the pairing process, you will need to reference your cellular phone owner’s manual. One of the following vehicle specific websites may also provide detailed instructions for pairing with the brand of phone that you have: NOTE: • www.chrysler.com/uconnect • www.dodge.com/uconnect • www.jeep.com/uconnect The following are general phone to UConnect™ System pairing instructions: • Press the ’Phone’ button to begin. • After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say • When prompted, after the voice on beep, say ⬙Pair a

⬙Setup Phone Pairing.⬙

Phone.⬙

• 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,

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 89

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

call.

90 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• For example, you can say ⬙234-567-8901.⬙ The phone number that you enter must be of valid length and combination. The UConnect™ limits the user from dialing invalid combination of numbers. For example, 234-567-890 is nine digits long, which is not a valid phone number - the closest valid phone number has ten digits. • The UConnect™ system will confirm the phone num- ber and then dial. The number will appear in the display of certain radios.

Call by Saying a Name • Press the “Phone” button to begin. • After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say • System will prompt you to say the name of the person

⬙Phonebook New Entry.⬙

• When prompted, say the name of the new entry. Use of long names helps the voice recognition and is recom- mended. For example, say ⬙Robert Smith⬙ or ⬙Robert⬙ instead of ⬙Bob.⬙ • When prompted, enter the number designation (e.g.: ⬙Home,⬙ ⬙Work,⬙ ⬙Mobile,⬙ or ⬙Pager⬙). This will allow you to store multiple numbers for each phonebook entry, if desired. • When prompted, recite the phone number for the

phonebook entry that you are adding.

After you are finished adding an entry into the phone- book, you will be given the opportunity to add more phone numbers to the current entry or to return to the main menu. The UConnect™ system will allow you to enter up to 32
names in the phonebook with each name having up to

The rear power outlet is a direct feed from the battery so it receives power whether the ignition is in the ON or OFF position. All accessories connected to this outlet should be re- moved or turned off when the vehicle is not in use.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 149

CAUTION!

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off • 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 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 alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

WARNING!

In an accident a cargo cover loose in the vehicle could cause injury. It could fly around in a sudden stop and strike someone in the vehicle. Do not store the cargo cover on the cargo floor or in the passenger compart- ment. Remove the cover from the vehicle when taken from its mounting. Do not store in the vehicle.

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks The tie-downs located on cargo area floor should be used to safely secure loads when vehicle is moving.

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks

WARNING!

• Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors for a child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or colli- sion a hook could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for child seat tethers. • The weight and position of cargo and passengers can change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of control result- ing in personal injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:

• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 153

• Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to sway. • Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.

WARNING!

To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.

REAR WINDOW FEATURES

Rear Window Wiper/Washer A rotary ring switch on the control lever, located on the right side of the steering column, controls operation of the rear wiper/washer function. Rotating the center of the switch up to the DEL (Delay) position or the ON position will activate the wiper. Rotating the switch ring beyond the ON or OFF position will activate the rear washer. The wash pump will continue to operate as long as the lever or ring is engaged. Upon release, the wipers will cycle three times before returning to the set position.

If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return to the “Park” position. When the vehicle is restarted, the wiper will resume function at whichever position the switch is set at. If the swing gate flip-up window is open or the swing gate is open, connection to the rear window wiper is interrupted preventing activation of the rear wiper blade. When the swing gate flip-up window or the swing gate is closed, the rear wiper switch or the ignition switch needs to be turned OFF, and then to ON to restart the rear wiper.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 157

NOTE: The rear swing gate will lock while the rear wiper is operating. The gate will stay locked until the wiper is turned off and the gate is unlocked (by key, lock switch, or key fob).

Adding Washer Fluid The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of the engine compartment on the passenger side and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radia- tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION

1. Tachometer Indicates the permissible engine revolutions-per-minute for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage. 2. Turn Signal Indicator Light

The arrows will flash in unison with the exterior turn signals, when using the multi-function control lever. A chime will sound if the turn signals are left on continuously for 2 miles (3 km) until they are deacti- vated. 3. High Beam Indicator Light

This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Pull the multi-function control lever to- wards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high to low beam.

4. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 5. Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light — If Equipped This light will turn on when there is a low tire pressure condition. The light will also turn on if a problem exist with any tire sensor. The light will remain on until the tire pressure is prop-

erly set or the problem with the sensor is corrected. This light will turn on momentarily as a bulb check when the engine is started. When the “Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light” is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over- heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect

the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified on the vehicle placard. (See page 268 for more information.) 6. 4LO Mode Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the 4 LO four–wheel drive mode. The front and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked to- gether forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. (See page 236 for more infor- mation.) 7. Fog Light Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light shows when the front fog lights are on.

8. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD II which monitors engine and auto- matic transmission control systems. This light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position
