radio CHRYSLER 300 2015 2.G User Guide

WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are less sharp, your
reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.
Never drink and then drive.
IF YOU ARE THE FIRST REGISTERED RETAIL OWNER OF YOUR VEHICLE,
YOU MAY OBTAIN A COMPLIMENTARY PRINTED COPY OF THE OWNER’S
MANUAL, NAVIGATION/UCONNECT® MANUALS OR WARRANTY BOOKLET
BY CALLING 1-800-247-9753 (U.S.) OR 1-800-387-1143 (CANADA) OR BY
CONTACTING YOUR DEALER.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly
recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
their attention o! the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers,
portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is
dangerous and could lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should
never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention
to vehicle operation, pull o! the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states or
provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s
responsibility to comply with all local laws.
IMPORTANT: This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important
features of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/
Uconnect® Manuals, Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and Roadside Assistance
(new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased
in Canada) in electronic format. We hope you find it useful. Replacement DVD kits
may be purchased by visiting www.techauthority.com. Copyright 2015 FCA US LLC.
This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new Chrysler
and to provide a convenient reference source for common questions. However, it is not a
substitute for your Owner’s Manual. For complete operational instructions, maintenance
procedures and important safety messages, please consult your Owner’s Manual,
Navigation/ Uconnect® Manuals and other Warning Labels in your vehicle. Not all features
shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on accessories
to help personalize your vehicle, visit mopar.com (U.S.), mopar.ca (Canada) or your
local Chrysler dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL: Drunken driving is one of the most frequent
causes of collisions. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels
far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating
high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted above the inside rearview mirror.
This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. This feature is programmable through the
Uconnect® system. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in
the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

LANESENSE
The LaneSense system can be enabled and disabled with the LaneSense button, located on the
switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
• Push the LaneSense buttonto turn the system ON (LED turns off ).
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below 112 mph(180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to detect lane markings andmeasure vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the driver unintentionally drifts out of the lane (noturn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the form of torqueapplied to the steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within the lane boundaries. If thedriver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane, the LaneSense system provides a visualwarning through the Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain within thelane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning by applying torque into the steering wheelat any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts across the lanemarking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a visual warning through theDriver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain within the lane. When only asingle lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be provided.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the LaneSense system will monitor if the driver’shands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the driver when the driver’shands are not detected on the steering wheel. The system will cancel if the driver does not returntheir hands to the wheel.
