The UConnectŸ phonebook enables you to store up to 32
names and four numbers per name. This system is driven
through your BluetoothŸ Hands-Free profile cellular
phone. UConnectŸ features BluetoothŸ technology - the
global standard that enables different electronic devices
to connect to each other without wires or a docking
station, so UConnect works no matter where you stow
your cellular phone (be it your purse, pocket, or brief-
case), as long as your phone is turned on and has been
paired to the vehicle's UConnectŸ system. The UCon-
nectŸ 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. The diagram below shows the mirror
with the appropriate buttons. Individual button behavior
is discussed in the9Operation9section.NOTE:For the best performance of the hands-free
system's audio and voice recognition adjust the rear view
mirror to provide at least a 1/2 inch gap (1 cm) between
the overhead console and the mirror.
The UConnectŸ system can be used with any Hands-
Free Profile certified BluetoothŸ cellular phone. If your
cellular phone supports a different profile (eg., Headset
Profile), you may not be able to use any UConnectŸ
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.

REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEMÐ IF EQUIPPED
This system is used to help drivers determine if an
obstacle is in the way of the vehicle while it is backing up
in addition to the use of inside rearview and outside
mirrors.
When the driver selects Reverse or Neutral the system
scans for objects behind the vehicle using four sensors
located in the rear bumper. Objects can be detected from
up to 71 inches (180 cm). A warning display above the
rear window provides both visible and audible warnings
indicating the range of the object.WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using the Rear Park Assist System. Always check
carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before backing up.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury
or death.
The display contains two sets of yellow and red LEDs
that can be viewed from the driver seat using the rear
view mirror. Each side of the vehicle has its own warning
LEDs. The system provides a visual warning by illumi-
nating one or more yellow LEDs as the vehicle gets closer
to the object. As the vehicle continues to approaches the
object, one red LED is illuminated and the system emits
a series of short beeps. The tone will remain constant and
both red LEDs are illuminated once the vehicle is within
12 inches (30.5 cm) of the object.

When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters
provide a boosted heat level during the first four minutes
of operation after heating is activated. The heat output
then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If
high-level heating is selected, the system will automati-
cally switch to the low level after two hours of continu-
ous operation. At that time, the number of illuminated
LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change.
Operation on the low setting also turns off automatically
after two hours.
NOTE:Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within two to five minutes.
