Setting the clock
1. Press MENU > Clock.
2. Press + and — to adjust the time.
From this screen, you can also
access other adjustments such as 12
or 24 hour mode, to activate GPS
time synchronization, and to have
the system automatically update
new time zones.
Once you update any settings they will be automatically saved.
Note:The date will be set by your vehicle’s GPS. You cannot manually
set the date.
Note:After a battery disconnect, your vehicle will need to acquire a GPS
signal to update the clock. A GPS signal can be received in an open sky
area. Once your vehicle acquires the signal, it may take a few minutes
for the update to display the correct time.
Using the touch sensitive controls on your system
Your vehicle’s centerstack is equipped with touch sensitive switches for
your infotainment and climate control systems. To activate or deactivate
a feature, you need only touch the graphic with your finger.
For optimum performance of these touch sensitive controls,
please note the following:
•The touch sensors are sensitive to light touch. You do not need to
apply forceful pressure on these controls to use them.
•Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may cause nearby control to
activate/deactivate.
•Ensure that your hands are clean, dry and free of moisture.
•Since the touch control sensor operates based on the touch of a
finger, you may have trouble using them if you are wearing gloves.
•Metal and other conductive material should be kept away from the
surface of the touch controls as this may cause electronic interference
(i.e. control activation).

911 ASSIST™ (IF EQUIPPED)
For 911 Assist™ to function properly, the vehicle must have
battery power after the crash, the cell phone must be previously
paired, connected to SYNC, and continue to function properly
with the ability to make and maintain a 911 call, and the 911
Assist™ feature must be previously enabled (set to ON).
WARNING:Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to initiate an
emergency call if you are capable yourself. Dial emergency
services immediately to avoid delayed response time, which could
increase the risk of serious injury or death after a crash. If you do not
hear 911 Assist™ within 5 seconds after the crash, the system or
phone may be damaged or nonfunctional.
The cell phone or 911 Assist™ hardware may become damaged in
a crash, the vehicle may lose battery power, or the cell phone may
be thrown from the vehicle, which could prevent operation.
Additionally, every cell phone operates differently. While SYNC
911 Assist™ works with most cell phones, some may have trouble
using this feature. Finally, not all crashes deploy an airbag or, in
certain vehicles, activate the fuel pump shut-off which are the
criteria to initiate 911 Assist™.
Airbags generally deploy in certain frontal, near frontal, side and rollover
crashes, and the deployment of any airbag is intended to act as a 911
Assist™ trigger if those events occur. For more information about airbag
deployment, see theSeating and Safety Restraintschapter of your
Owner Guide. The fuel pump shut-off, in certain vehicles, is intended to
act as a trigger for 911 Assist™ in rear-end crashes, in which airbags
generally do not deploy. To determine if your vehicle has this trigger,
check theRoadside Emergencychapter in yourOwner’s Guide.If your
Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-off”, it will trigger 911
Assist™. If your Owner Guide describes a “Fuel Pump Shut-offSwitch”,
it will not trigger 911 Assist™.
WARNING:Always place cell phone in a secure location to
prevent it from becoming a projectile or becoming damaged in
the event of a collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or
damage the phone which could prevent 911 Assist from functioning
properly.
