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.

86 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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.

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.,

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 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 ⬙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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 87

• 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 use the combined form voice com- mand ⬙Phonebook New Entry,⬙ or you can break the combined form command into two voice commands: ⬙Phonebook⬙ and ⬙New Entry.⬙ 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 are at any prompt, say ⬙Help⬙ follow- ing 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.

• 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⬙).

To Activate Press and release the ON·OFF button to turn the system on. To turn the system off, press the ON·OFF button again. The system should be turned off when not in use. The CRUISE indicator light in the instrument cluster illuminates when the system is on.

124 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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, or pressing the CANCEL button will deactivate the Speed Control without erasing the memory. Pressing the ON·OFF but- ton or turning off the ignition erases the memory. To Resume Speed To resume a previously set speed, press and release the RES·ACCEL button. Resume can be used at any speed beginning at approximately 30 mph (48 km/h).

To Vary The Speed Setting When the Speed Control is on and set, speed can be increased by pressing and holding the RES·ACCEL but- ton. When the button is released, a new set speed will be established. Tapping the RES·ACCEL button once will result in a 2
mph (3 km/h) speed increase. Each time the button is tapped, speed increases, so tapping the button three times will increase speed by 6 mph (9 km/h), etc. To decrease speed while speed control is on and set, press and hold the DECEL button. Release the button when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set. Tapping the DECEL button once will result in a 1 mph (2
km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped, speed decreases.

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 meters), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded (especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the SET speed. (If the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56
km/h), the Speed Control will automatically disengage). If this happens, you can push down on the accelerator pedal to maintain the desired speed. A full throttle (high RPM) acceleration, while the system is engaged, will cause the system to disengage. Vehicles may exhibit several 4-3 downshifts under the above conditions. To reduce the frequency of the down- shifts and to improve vehicle performance, it is advisable to lock out overdrive. Press the O/D OFF button on the right side of the shift lever.

WARNING!

Leaving the Speed Control on when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have an accident. Always turn the system off when you are not using it.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system that includes ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), TCS (Traction Control System), BAS (Brake Assist System), ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program). All five systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in vari- ous driving conditions are commonly referred to as ESP.

126 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)

This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lock-up and 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 prevail- ing road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents, including 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 the “Partial Off” mode. Refer to “ESP (Electronic Stability Program)” in this section.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 127

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 reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.

128 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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, 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 a BAS- 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.

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 lift, it applies the appropriate brake and may reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or evasive driving maneu- vers. ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It can not prevent wheel lift due to other factors such as road conditions, leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.

WARNING!

Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM can not 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 over/under steering of the vehicle by applying

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 129

the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition. Engine 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. • Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than • Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than

ESP/TCS Indicator Light

The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ located in the instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ also flashes when TCS is active. If the ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ 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.

WARNING!

ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESP cannot prevent acci- dents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESP-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.

The ESP system has 2 available operating modes in 2WD, 4WD Part Time, 4WD Full Time (Selec-Trac Only), and on 2WD vehicles. The system has a single operating mode in 4WD Low Range.

High Range (4WD Part Time, 4WD Full Time) or 2WD Models

ESP On This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 2WD, 4WD Part Time, 4WD Full Time (Selec-Trac Only), and on 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 or 2WD, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most all driving situations. ESP should only be turned off for specific reasons as noted below. Partial Off This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the “ESP Control Switch” (located on top of the steering column). When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS portion of ESP, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will be illuminated. All other stability features of

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 131

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, momen- tarily depress the “ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal “ESP On” mode of operation.

ESP Control Switch

132 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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 Control Switch”. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. 4WD Low Range

Partial 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 2WD, 4WD high range, or neutral to 4WD low range, the ESP system will be in this 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 30 mph (48 km/h). At 30 mph (48 km/h), the

normal ESP stability function returns but TCS remains off. When the vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40
km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is off 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 30 mph (48 km/h). The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will always be illuminated in 4WD low range when ESP is off. ESP/BAS Warning Lamp

The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS. The “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. 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: • ⬙The ⬙ESP/TCS Indicator Light⬙ and the ⬙ESP/BAS Warning Lamp⬙ 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.

Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse fea- tures as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manu- factured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object - signaling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or by calling: 1-800-355-3515.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes. To erase the programmed buttons, perform the procedure shown below under ⬙When Your Vehicle Is New⬙, or, for assis- tance, contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or by calling: 1-800-355-3515. When Your Vehicle Is New Prior to programming HomeLink for the first time the factory test codes must be erased. To erase HomeLink memory, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (buttons one and three). The message CLEARING CHANNELS will appear on the HomeLink display. After approximately 20 seconds, the message CHANNELS CLEARED will appear on the EVIC display. Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds.

WARNING!

Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger- ous gas. Do not run the vehicle’s engine while programming HomeLink. Exhaust gas can cause se- rious injury or death.

WARNING!

Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming HomeLink. Do not program HomeLink if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. A moving door or gate can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or damage to objects.

Programming HomeLink

It is recommended that a new battery be placed NOTE: in the hand-held transmitter of the device being pro- grammed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio frequency signal. 1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3
inches (5-14 cm) away from the lower left corner of the EVIC display while keeping the display in view. NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace the next step with procedures noted in the ⬙Gate Operator/Canadian Programming⬙ section. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired HomeLink button and the hand-held transmitter button. After a short time, the message TRAINING will show on HomeLink display. Do not release the buttons until the next step has been completed.

4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink button. TRANSMIT should appear on the display. If your device activates when the HomeLink button is depressed and released, programming is complete. NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink but- tons, simply repeat the ⬙Programming HomeLink⬙ pro- cess. If the message TRANSMIT appears on the HomeLink display but your device does not activate, the device may be equipped with a ⬙rolling code⬙ system. Continue with steps five through seven below to complete the program- ming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 5. 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.

6. 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 the next step. 7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button. Repeat the ⬙press/hold/release⬙ sequence a second time, 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 process. HomeLink should now activate your equipped device. NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink but- tons, simply repeat the ⬙Programming Homelink⬙ pro- cess.

If, after programming the HomeLink Wireless Control System, and/or other HomeLink units in other vehicles fail to activate the rolling code equipped device, you may need to clear (or ⴖeraseⴖ) the device’s receiver memory. Refer to your garage door opener’s Owner’s Manual for the proce- dure or contact HomeLink at 1-800-355-3515 or on the Internet at www.homelink.com. After clearing the re- ceiver, you must reprogram the original hand-held transmitter(s) to the receiver using the procedure in the garage door opener’s Owner’s Manual. Finally, repro- gram the hand-held transmitter(s) to HomeLink using the steps under ⴖProgramming HomeLinkⴖ. 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 HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 147

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 HomeLink⬙ procedures (regardless of where you live), replace step two 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. Press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and release - every two seconds (ⴖcycleⴖ) your hand-held transmitter button until the radio signal has success- fully been accepted by HomeLink. (The message TRAINED will appear on the HomeLink display.) Proceed with the remaining steps under ⬙Programming HomeLink⬙ to complete.

Rear Power Outlet

152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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.

CUP HOLDERS In the center console there are two cup holders for the front seat passengers.

Front Cup Holders

NOTE: The front cup holder insert is removable from the console, for cleaning.

Smoker’s Package — If Equipped With the optional Smoker’s package, a removable ash tray is inserted into the front cup holder location. The rear passengers have access to a cup holder on each rear door trim panel.

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks

156 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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.

• 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.
