MEDIA HUB — iPod®/USB/MP3/SD Card
There are many ways to play music from iPod®/MP3 players, SD card, or USB devices
through your vehicle's sound system.
•Pressyour“Media”buttononthetouchscreentobegin.
USB Port
Connect your iPod®or compatible device using a USB cable into the USB Port. USB
Memory sticks with audio files can also be used. Audio from the device can be played on
the vehicle's sound system while providing metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.)
information on the radio display.
When connected, the iPod®/compatible USB device can be controlled using the radio or
Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list
the contents.
The iPod®battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific
device.)
To r o u t e t h e U S B / i P o d®cable out of the center console, use the access cut out.
NOTE:
•WhenconnectingyouriPod®device for the first time, the system may take several
minutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five minutes for every 1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also
during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This
process is needed to ensure the full use of your iPod®features and only happens the
first time it is connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod®will take
considerably less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.
•TheUSBportsupportscertainMini,Classic,Nano,Touch,andiPhone®devices. The
USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage
Class memory devices. Some iPod®software versions may not fully support the USB
port features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod®software updates.
Audio Jack (AUX)
The AUX allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or an iPod®,tobepluggedinto
the radio and utilize the vehicle’s sound system, using a 3.5 mm audio cable, to amplify
the source and play through the vehicle speakers.

The Uconnect®Phone feature enables you to place and receive hands-free mobile phone
calls. Drivers can also place mobile phone calls using their voice or by using the buttons
on the touchscreen (see Voice Command section).
The hands-free calling feature is made possible through Bluetooth®technology — the
global standard that enables different electronic devices to connect to each other
wirelessly.
If the Uconnect®Phone Buttonexists on your steering wheel, you then have the
Uconnect®Phone features.

Select The Android Mobile Phone's Priority Level
When the pairing process has successfully completed, the system will prompt you to
choose whether or not this is your favorite mobile phone. Selecting “Yes” will make this
mobile phone the highest priority. This mobile phone will take precedence over other
paired mobile phones within range and will connect to the Uconnect®system automati-
cally when entering the vehicle. Only one mobile phone and/or one Bluetooth audio device
can be connected to the Uconnect®system at a time. If “No” is selected, simply select

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides
convenient full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake Traction
Control (BTC) System, which combines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides
resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with
traction.
NOTE:
This system is not appropriate for conditions where AWD LOW range is recommended. Refer
to “Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Three-Position Switch)
This electronic shift transfer case and is operated by the AWD Control Switch (Transfer
Case Switch), which is located on the center console.
This electronically shifted transfer case pro-
vides three mode positions:
•All-wheeldriveautomaticrange(AWD
AUTO)
•All-wheeldrivelowrange(LOWRANGE)
•Neutral(NEUTRAL)
When additional traction is required, the
LOW RANGE position can be used to lock
the front and rear driveshafts together forc-
ing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. The LOW RANGE position are
designed for loose, slippery road surfaces
only. Driving in the LOW RANGE positions
on dry hard surfaced roads may cause in-
creased tire wear and damage to the drive-
line components.
When operating your vehicle in LOW RANGE, the engine speed is approximately three
times that of the AWD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the
engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
The “SERV AWD Warning Light” monitors the electronic shift all-wheel drive system.
If this light remains on after engine start up or illuminates during driving, it means that the
all-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is required.

transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the transmis-
sion is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in
the vehicle.
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4.Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed transfer case NEUTRAL
(N) button (located by the selector switch) for four seconds. The light behind the N symbol
will blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the
shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A “FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL”
message will appear in the Driver Information Display (DID). Refer to “Driver Information
Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
