VOICE COMMAND (RADIO 8.4/8.4 NAV)
Radio 8.4/8.4 NAV
The Uconnect Voice Command system allows
you to control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio,
disc player, SD Card, USB/iPod and SiriusXM
Travel Link.
NOTE: Take care to speak into the Voice Command system
as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of the Voice
Command system to recognize user voice commands may
be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a raised voice
level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be used only in
safe driving conditions following all applicable laws,
including laws regarding phone use. Your attention
should be focused on safely operating the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a collision causing
serious injury or death.
When you push the Uconnect Voice Command
button,
you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a
command.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 141

If no command is spoken the system will say one of two
responses:
•I didn’t understand
• I didn’t get that, etc.
If a command is not spoken a second time, the system will
respond with an error and give some direction as what can
be said based on the context you are in. After three
consecutive failures of a spoken command the VR session
will end.
Pushing the Uconnect Voice Command
button while
the system is speaking is known as “barging in.” The
system will be interrupted, and after the beep, you can say
a command. This will become helpful once you start to
learn the options.
NOTE: At any time, you can say the words “Cancel” or
“Help.”
These commands are universal and can be used from any
menu. All other commands can be used depending upon
the active application.
When using this system, you should speak clearly and at a
normal speaking volume. The system will best recognize your speech if the windows
are closed, and the heater/air conditioning fan is set to low.
At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your
commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear available commands, push the Uconnect Voice
Command
button and say “Help.” You will hear
available commands for the screen displayed.
Natural Speech
Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in
phrases or complete sentences. The system filters out
certain non-word utterances and sounds such as “ah” and
“eh.” The system handles fill-in words such as “I would
like to.”
The system handles multiple inputs in the same phrase or
sentence such as “make a phone call” and “to Kelly Smith.”
For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sentence, the
system identifies the topic or context and provides the
associated follow-up prompt such as “Who do you want to
call?” in the case where a phone call was requested but the
specific name was not recognized.

WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even
at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in
a seat that has been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface temperature of the
seat.
Manual Front Seat Adjustments
For models equipped with manual seats, the driver and
passenger seats can be adjusted forward or rearward by
using a bar located by the front of the seat cushion, near the
floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move the
seat forward or rearward. Release the bar once the desired
position has been reached. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that the
seat adjusters have latched.

steering column is locked before driving your vehicle.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL — IF EQUIPPED
The steering wheel contains a heating element that helps
warm your hands in cold weather. The heated steering
wheel has only one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel has been turned on it will operate for up to
95 minutes before automatically shutting off. The heated
steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when
the steering wheel is already warm.
The heated steering wheel control button is located within
the Uconnect system. You can gain access to the control
button through the climate screen or the controls screen.•
Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn
the heating element ON.
• Press the heated steering wheel buttona second
time to turn the heating element OFF.

On models that are equipped with remote start, the heated
steering wheel can be programmed to come on during a
remote start through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods.

obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it could provide a
false indication that an obstacle is behind the fascia/
bumper.
• Ensure the ParkSense system is OFF if objects such as
bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc., are placed within 12
in (30 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper. Failure to do so
can result in the system misinterpreting a close object as
a sensor problem, causing the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” message to appear in the Instrument Cluster
Display.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using ParkSense. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
and blind spots before backing up. You are respon-
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended
that the ball mount and hitch ball assembly is
disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is

WARNING! (Continued)
not used for towing. Failure to do so can result in
injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because the
hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the
rear fascia when the loudspeaker sounds the con-
tinuous tone. Also, the sensors could detect the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size
and shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle
is behind the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to
recognize every obstacle, including small obstacles.
Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the
sensors will not be detected when they are in close
proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using
ParkSense in order to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense.
