WARNING!
• Any voice commanded system should be used only in safe driving conditions followinglocal laws and phone use. All attention should be kept on the roadway ahead. Failure to
do so may result in a collision causing you and others to be severely injured or killed.
• In an emergency, to use Uconnect™ Phone, your mobile phone must be: • turned on,
• paired to Uconnect™ Phone,
• and have network coverage.
Uconnect™ Voice Command
• If the Uconnect™ Voice Command
button exists on your steering wheel, then you have
the Voice Command feature.
• The Voice Command feature lets you keep your hands on the steering wheel, and your eyes on the road.
• When you press the Voice Command button
located on the radio faceplate or
steering wheel, you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a command. If you do not
know what commands to say, you can say "help" and the system will provide options to you. If
you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists options, press the Voice Command
button
, listen for the BEEP, and say your command.
• You can “chain” commands together for faster results. Say “Call John Doe, mobile”, for example.
Changing The Volume
• Start a dialogue by pressing the Voice Command button, then say a command (for
example, “help”).
• Use the radio ON/OFF VOLUME rotary knob to adjust the volume to a comfortable level while the Voice Command system is speaking. The volume setting for Voice Command is
different than the audio system.
• Refer to the Understand The Features Of Your Vehicle section of your vehicle's Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details. ELECTRONICS

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking theappropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in
removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on
HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when
the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)• This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is torecord, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The
EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender,
age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle orthe EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR. WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
