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 the ªOperationº Section.The UConnectŸ system can be used with any Hands
Free Profile certified BluetoothŸ cellular phone. If your
cellular phone has a different profile (i.e. headset profile),
you will not be able to use any UConnectŸ features.
The UConnectŸ system is fully integrated into your
vehicle, including your vehicle's stereo system. All voice
prompts as well as the other party's voice in a conversa-
tion will be played over your vehicle's stereo system. The
volume of the UConnectŸ system can be controlled
through your normal stereo controls.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnectŸ system such as caller ID.

To Accelerate For Passing:
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
NOTE:The speed control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
Vehicles equipped with four speed automatic transaxles
may experience a downshift to 3rd gear while climbing
uphill or descending downhill. This downshift to 3rd
gear is necessary to maintain vehicle set speed.
On steep hills a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without speed control.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE Ð IF EQUIPPED
This feature has a compass/temperature display and two
map lamps. The overhead console is located on the
headliner between the sun visors.

Compass/Temperature Display
This display provides the outside temperature and one of
eight compass readings to indicate the direction the
vehicle is facing.
WARNING!
Even if the display still reads a few degrees above
32ÉF ( 0ÉC), the road surface may be icy, particularly
in woods or on bridges. Drive carefully under such
conditions to prevent an accident and possible per-
sonal injury or property damage.

Automatic Compass Calibration
The automatic calibrating feature of the compass elimi-
nates the need to calibrate the compass due to normal
varying conditions.
Compass Variance Selection
Variance is the difference between magnetic North and
geographic North. For proper compass function, the
correct variance zone must be set. Refer to the variance
map for the correct variance zone. To check the variance
zone, the ignition switch must be on and the compass/
temperature displayed. Press and hold the STEP button
for about 5 to 10 seconds until ZONE and the number
appears in the display. The number displayed is the
variance zone used by the compass. To change the zone,
press the STEP button to scroll through numbers 1
through 15.
When the correct variance is selected release the step
button and the Compass/Temperature display will re-
turn to normal after approximately 15 seconds.

Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate, abnormal or
the vehicle is new, you may calibrate the compass. Prior
to calibrating the compass make sure the proper zone is
selected. Refer to ªMagnetic Zone Selectionº.Find an
open area away from large metal objects. With the vehicle
running, press and hold the STEP button for (about 10 to
15 seconds). The display will illuminate the CAL indica-
tor. Drive slowly (about 5 mph) in 3 complete 360 circles.
The CAL indicator will turn off and the compass will be
calibrated.
NOTE:
²The compass needs to go through a manual calibration
to insure proper operation when taking vehicle deliv-
ery.
²The STEP button must be pressed for 10 to 15 seconds
to place the compass into CAL mode. Regardless of
whether the CAL indicator is already illuminated.
Outside Temperature
Because engine temperature can increase the displayed
temperature, temperature readings are not updated
when the vehicle is not moving.
If the display shows249ÉF (245ÉC) or 140ÉF (60ÉC), see
your authorized dealer for repair.

The light will flash when the Traction Control System is
controlling traction.
16. Door Ajar Indicator
This vacuum fluorescent display indicator illuminates
the word ªDOORº, when a door is not completely closed.
If the door is open for more than 8 minutes, the light will
turn off.
17. Odometer/Trip Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven. The trip odometer shows the trip distance
since the last reset.
U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. There-
fore, if the odometer reading changes during repair or
replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading
before and after the service so the correct mileage can be
determined.18. Trip Indicator
This vacuum fluorescent display indicator will illuminate
when the Trip Odometer is in use.
By pushing the trip button, located next to the instrument
cluster, the odometer will toggle between total distance
and trip distance. In the trip odometer mode, holding the
trip button for more than 2 seconds will reset the trip
odometer to ª0º.

Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap,
poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light
stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In
most situations the vehicle will drive normally and will
not require towing.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light flashes when the
engine is running, serious conditions may exist that
could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic
converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as
soon as possible if this occurs.
23. Front Fog Light Indicator Ð If Equipped
This light shows when the front fog lights are ON.
24. Low Fuel Light
When the fuel level drops to about 1/8 tank, the
fuel symbol will light and a single chime will
sound. The light will remain on until fuel is added.If the fuel level drops to approximately 1.0 gallon (3.75
Liter), the fuel symbol will flash several times and the
chime will sound several times.
25. AutoStick Gear PositionÐ If Equipped
This vacuum fluorescent display indicator illuminates
when the gearshift lever is moved to the AutoStick
position and shows the current gear selection.
26. Fuel Door Reminder
This symbol is a reminder that the Fuel Filler Door is
located on the front passenger's (right) side of the vehicle.
27. Odometer/Trip Odometer Reset Knob
Press the knob to switch between the odometer and trip
odometer. While the trip odometer is being displayed,
press and hold this knob for a few seconds to reset the
trip odometer to zero miles/kilometers.

ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout shows the time in hours and
minutes whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or
ACC position and the time button is pressed.
When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or when
the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is
accurately maintained.
Clock Setting Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position
and press the time button. Using the tip of a ballpoint pen
or similar object, press either the hour (H) or minute (M)
buttons on the radio.
2. Press the H button to set hours or the M button to set
minutes. The time setting will increase each time you
press a button.
RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
Your new radio will provide excellent reception under
most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these ªap-
parentº malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
Two Types of Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or
Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound
causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to
vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the
frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.
