WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some collisions,
the air bags won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have
air bags.
•Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need
room to inflate.Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.
•Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags need room to inflate.Do not lean against the door or window.
Sit upright in the center of the seat.
•Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured
or killed.
•Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed.If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
•
After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
•Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if avail-
able.According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats rather than in the front.
•
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride
in proper restraint systems.This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
•For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT-CHECK
(1–866–732–8243).
•Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional informa-

Voice Command Tips
•Using the complete name of a contact, as stored in your phonebook, (e.g.Call John
Doe vs.Call John) results in greater system accuracy.
•You can ‘chain’ commands together for faster results.Say “Call John Doe, mobile,” for
example.
•If you are listening to available voice command options, you do not have to listen to
the entire list.When you hear the command that you need, press the
button
on the steering wheel, wait for the beep and say your command.
Changing The Volume

- "Help".

button on the steering wheel and say
"help." Touch the display or push either
orbutton and say "cancel" to

Uconnect® 5.0 Voice Command

mand feature lets you keep your hands on the wheel, and your eyes on the road.
•When you press the Voice Command
button located on the steering wheel,
you hear a beep.After the beep, give your command.If you do not know what com-
mands to say, you can say “help” and the system provides options to you.If you ever

Voice Command (VR) User TIPs
•To hear available commands, press the Uconnect® Voice Command button and say
“Help.” You hear available commands for the menu displayed.
•At any time, you can say the words “Cancel” or “Help.” These commands are universal
and can be used from virtually any menu.All other specific commands can be used
depending upon the active application.

Command button while the system is speaking.After the beep, you can say a com-
mand.
•You can ‘chain’ commands together for faster results.Say “Call Joe Doe mobile,” for
example.
•For best performance, adjust the rearview mirror to provide at least ½ inch (1 cm)
gap between the overhead console (if equipped) and the mirror.This creates an
unobstructed path to the microphone on the overhead console.
•Always wait for the beep before speaking.
•Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would speak to a person sitting a few
feet/meters away from you.
•Ensure that no one other than you is speaking during a Voice Command period.
