262SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Temperature Grades
The Temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the tire's
resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat, when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a
level of performance, which all
passenger vehicle tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel, than the
minimum required by law.
VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more
than 21 days, you may want to take steps to
protect your battery. You may do the following:
Remove the 60 Amp cartridge in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) labeled Igni
-
tion-Off Draw (IOD).
Or, disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out
of service for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for about five
minutes in the fresh air and high blower
setting. This will ensure adequate system
lubrication to minimize the possibility of
compressor damage when the system is
started again.
BODYWORK
Protection From Atmospheric Agents
Vehicle body care requirements vary according
to geographic locations and usage. Chemicals
that make roads passable in snow and ice and
those that are sprayed on trees and road
surfaces during other seasons are highly
corrosive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside
parking, which exposes your vehicle to airborne
contaminants, road surfaces on which the
vehicle is operated, extreme hot or cold weather
and other extreme conditions will have an
adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and
underbody protection.
The following maintenance recommendations
will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from
the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly inflated
and not overloaded. Excessive speed,
under-inflation, or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.

Redial
To redial the last number called from your
mobile phone using Voice Command:

1. Push the Phone button to begin.

2. After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Redial.”
The Uconnect Phone will call the last
number that was dialed from your mobile
phone.
NOTE:
This may not be the last number dialed from the
Uconnect Phone.
Call Continuation
Call continuation is the progression of a phone
call on the Uconnect Phone after the vehicle
ignition has been switched to OFF. Call contin -
uation functionality available on the vehicle can
be any one of three types:

1. After the ignition is switched to OFF, a call can continue on the Uconnect Phone either
until the call ends, or until the vehicle
battery condition dictates cessation of the
call on the Uconnect Phone and transfer of
the call to the mobile phone.
2. After the ignition is cycled to OFF, a call can
continue on the Uconnect Phone for a
certain duration, after which the call is
automatically transferred from the
Uconnect Phone to the mobile phone.
3. An active call is automatically transferred to the mobile phone after the ignition is cycled
to OFF.
Uconnect Phone Features
Language Selection
To change the language that the Uconnect
Phone is using:
Push the Phone button to begin.
After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say the name of the language you wish
to switch to / English, Spanish, or French.
Continue to follow the system prompts to
complete the language selection.
After selecting one of the languages, all
prompts and voice commands will be in that
language. NOTE:
After every Uconnect Phone language change
operation, only the language-specific 32-name
phonebook is usable. The paired phone name is
not language-specific and usable across all
languages.
Emergency Assistance
If you are in an emergency and the mobile
phone is reachable:
Pick up the phone and manually dial the
emergency number for your area.
If the phone is not reachable and the Uconnect
Phone is operational, you may reach the
emergency number as follows:
Push the Phone button to begin.
After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Emergency” and the Uconnect
Phone will instruct the paired mobile phone
to call the emergency number.

MULTIMEDIA313
You can also send stored Uconnect Phonebook
entries as tones for fast and easy access to
voice mail and pager entries. To use this
feature, dial the number you wish to call and
then push the Voice Command button and
say, “Send.” The system will prompt you to enter
the name or number and say the name of the
phonebook entry you wish to send. The
Uconnect Phone will then send the
corresponding phone number associated with
the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.
NOTE:
You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations. This is
normal.
Some paging and voice mail systems have
system time out settings that are too short
and may not allow the use of this feature.
Barge In – Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Command” button can be used
when you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immediately. For
example, if a prompt is asking “Would you like to pair a phone, clear a...,” you could push the
Voice Recognition button and say, “Pair a
Phone” to select that option without having to
listen to the rest of the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system from confirming your choices (e.g., the
Uconnect Phone will not repeat a phone
number before you dial it).
To turn confirmation prompts on or off using
Voice Command:

1. Push the Phone button to begin.

2. After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say:“Setup Confirmations Prompts On” or
“Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
Phone And Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium
display such as the instrument panel cluster,
and supported by your mobile phone, the
Uconnect Phone will provide notification to
inform you of your phone and network status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect Phone. The status is given for
roaming, network signal strength, phone battery
strength, etc.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile
phone keypad and still use the Uconnect Phone
(while dialing via the mobile phone keypad, the
user must exercise caution and take precau
-
tionary safety measures). By dialing a number
with your paired Bluetooth® mobile phone, the
audio will be played through your vehicles audio
system. The Uconnect Phone will work the same
as if you dial the number using Voice Command.
NOTE:
Certain brands of mobile phones do not send
the dial ring to the Uconnect Phone to play it on
the vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it.
Under this situation, after successfully dialing a
number the user may feel that the call did not
go through even though the call is in progress.
Once your call is answered, you will hear the
audio.
