Adjusting Side View Mirrors
Outside Mirror — Driver’s Side
Adjust the outside mirror to center on the adjacent lane of
traffic, with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.
Outside Mirror — Passenger’s Side
Adjust the convex outside mirror so you can just see the
side of your vehicle in the part of the mirror closest to the
vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the right side convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your right side mirror
could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in this convex mirror.
Illuminated Vanity Mirrors — If Equipped
An illuminated vanity mirror is on each sun visor. To use
the mirror, rotate the sun visor down and swing the

The UConnectsystem is driven through your
Bluetooth“Hands-Free Profile” cellular phone.
UConnectfeatures Bluetoothtechnology - the global
standard that enables different electronic devices to con-
nect to each other without wires or a docking station, so
UConnectworks no matter where you stow your cellu-
lar phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long
as your phone is turned on and has been paired to the
vehicle’s UConnectsystem. The UConnectsystem
allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to the
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.

for the system (depending on the type of
mirror and radio equipped), and either theradio or the mirror has the two control buttons (PHONE
Button and VOICE RECOGNITION button) that will
enable you to access the system.
Voice Recognition Button
Actual button location may vary with the ra-
dio. The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” section.
The UConnectsystem can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetoothcellular phone. See the
UConnectwebsite for supported phones. If your cellu-
lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnect
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the

mandPhonebook New Entry,or you can break the

•For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnectsystem a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.

priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular
phones to your UConnectsystem. However, at any

connected to your UConnectsystem. The priority
allows the UConnectsystem to know which cellular
phone to use if multiple cellular phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three
and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the
