• For each feature explanation in this section, only the compound 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 compound form voice com- mand “Phonebook New Entry”, or you can break the compound form command into two voice commands: “Phonebook” and “New Entry”. Please remember, the Uconnect威 Phone 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 “Help” following the beep. The Uconnect威 Phone will play some of the options at any prompt if you ask for help.

146 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To activate the Uconnect威 Phone, simply press the button and follow the audible prompts for directions. Uconnect威 Phone sessions begin with a press of the

button on the radio control head.

Cancel Command At any prompt, after the 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威 Phone To A Mobile Phone To begin using your Uconnect威 Phone, you must pair your compatible Bluetooth威 enabled mobile phone.

and follow the audible prompts.

The following are general phone to Uconnect威 Phone pairing instructions: • Press the • After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say • When prompted, after the beep, say “Pair a Device” • You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Identi- fication Number (PIN), which you will later need to enter into your mobile phone. You can enter any four-digit PIN. You will not need to remember this PIN after the initial pairing process. • For identification purposes, you will be prompted to give the Uconnect威 Phone a name for your mobile phone. Each mobile phone that is paired should be given a unique phone name.

• You will then be asked to give your mobile phone a priority level between one and seven, with one being the highest priority. You can pair up to seven mobile phones to your Uconnect威 Phone. However, at any given time, only one mobile phone can be in use, connected to your Uconnect威 System. The priority allows the Uconnect威 Phone to know which mobile phone to use if multiple mobile phones are in the vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the Uconnect威 Phone will use the priority three mobile phone when you make a call. You can select to use a lower priority mobile phone at any time (refer to “Advanced Phone Connectivity” in this section).

The status is given for network signal strength, phone battery strength, etc. Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad You can dial a phone number with your mobile phone keypad and still use the Uconnect威 Phone (while dialing via the mobile phone keypad, the user must exercise caution and take precautionary safety measures). By dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth威 mobile phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s audio system. The Uconnect威 Phone will work the same as if you dial the number using Voice Command. NOTE: Certain brands of mobile phones do not send the dial ring to the Uconnect威 Phone to play it on the vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this situa- tion, 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.

WARNING!

• It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

Heated Seats — If Equipped On some models, the front and rear seats may be equipped with heaters in both the seat cushions and seatbacks.

WARNING!

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus- tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time. • Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface tempera- ture of the seat.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 183

Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start On models that are equipped with remote start, the driver’s heated seat can be programmed to come on during a remote start. Refer to “Remote Starting Sys- tem — If Equipped” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information. Front Heated Seats There are two heated seat switches that allow the driver and passenger to operate the seats independently. The controls for each heater are located on the switch bank below the climate controls. You can choose from HIGH, LOW or OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for HIGH, one for LOW and none for OFF.

Rear Heated Seats On some models, the second row seats are equipped with heaters. There are two heated seat switches that allow the second row passengers to operate the seats indepen- dently. The heated seat switches are located on the sliding side door handle trim panels.

If the HIGH-level setting is selected, the system will automatically switch to LOW-level after approximately 60 minutes of continuous operation. At that time, the display will change from HIGH to LOW, indicating the change. The LOW-level setting will turn OFF automatically after approximately 45 minutes.

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could result in serious injury or death.

Head Restraints Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

The head restraints for all occupants must be prop- erly adjusted prior to operating the vehicle or occu- pying a seat. Head restraints should never be ad- justed while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

Active Head Restraints — Front Seats Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable compo- nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspec- tion of the head restraint. The head restraint will be split in two halves, with the front half being soft foam and trim, the back half being decorative plastic.

188 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE When AHRs deploy during a rear impact, the front half of the head restraint extends forward to minimize the gap between the back of the occupant’s head and the AHR. This system is designed to help prevent or reduce the extent of injuries to the driver and front passenger in certain types of rear impacts. Refer to “Occupant Re- straints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Ve- hicle” for further information To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head restraint. To lower the head restraint, press the push button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push downward on the head restraint.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Active Head Restraints may be deployed if they are struck by an object such as a hand, foot or loose cargo. To avoid accidental deployment of the Ac- tive Head Restraint ensure that all cargo is secured, as loose cargo could contact the Active Head Re- straint during sudden stops. Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury if the Active Head Restraint is deployed.
