Audio Jack (AUX)
The AUX allows a portable device, such as an MP3 player or an iPod®, to be plugged
into 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.
• Pressing the “AUX” button on the touchscreen will change the mode to auxiliary
device if the audio jack is connected, allowing the music from your portable device
to be heard through the vehicle's speakers. In order to activate the AUX, plug in the
audio jack.
• The functions of the portable device are controlled using the device buttons. The
volume may be controlled using the radio or portable device.
• To route the audio cable out of the center console, use the access cut out in the
front of the console.
Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
If using a Bluetooth®- equipped device, you may also be able to stream music to your
vehicle's sound system. Your connected device must be Bluetooth-compatible, and
paired with your system (see Uconnect®Phone for pairing instructions).
• You can access the music from your connected Bluetooth®device by Pressing the
“Bluetooth®” button on the touchscreen while in Media mode.

WIRELESS CHARGING PAD
Wireless Charging Pad — If Equipped
• Your vehicle may be equipped with a
wireless charging pad located inside
the upper portion of the center con-
sole. This charging pad is designed to
wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mo-
bile phone. Qi is a standard that uses
magnetic induction to transfer power
to your mobile device.
• Your mobile phone must be designed
for Qi wireless charging, be equipped
with an aftermarket sleeve or equipped
with a back plate from your mobile
phone provider, or an online or local
electronics retailer. The wireless
charging pad is equipped with an anti-
slip mat, an adjustable cradle to hold
your mobile phone in place and an LED
indicator light.
NOTE:
Visit UconnectPhone.com for supported mobile phones and compatible aftermarket
sleeves.

Wireless Charging Pad Operation
• To use the wireless charging pad, the coil in your mobile phone needs to align with
the coil in the charging pad, which is located directly under the Qi logo. Since each
mobile phone’s coil location is different, you may need a few attempts to locate the
correct spot for your mobile phone:
1. Place your mobile phone on the wireless charging pad, towards the Qi logo, so
that the LED turns red. If the LED does not turn red, pick up the mobile phone
and change it’s location.
NOTE:
The mobile phonemustbe aligned around the Qi logo for the LED to transition from
red to flashing green.
2. Once the LED transitions from red to flashing green, your mobile phone is
correctly placed and charging.

3. If the LED does not transition from red to flashing green, and just turns off,
pick up your mobile phone and reposition it on the charging pad.
4. Use the adjustable cradle to hold the mobile phone in position. The cradle
moves by pushing down on the finger tabs and moving the cradle in or out.
NOTE:
The initial adjustment will only need to be done once as long as only one mobile phone is
used. If a different mobile phone is used, the cradle will need to be readjusted.
• The LED indicator will flash green while the mobile phone is charging. The Qi
enabled phone is able to function normally as it is charging.
CAUTION!
Do not place your vehicle Key Fob on the wireless charging pad, the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ feature may not work properly while a mobile phone is being charged.
WARNING!
Do not place metal object(s) between the mobile phone and wireless charging pad.
Metal object(s) such as coins, rings or keys will become veryHOT. If metal
object(s) become lodged between the mobile phone and wireless charging pad,
carefully remove the mobile phone and allow the metal object(s) to cool before
removing. Failure to wait until the object(s) cool could result in personal injury,
including burns.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post
of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative(-)end of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and
the fuel injection system.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative(-)end of the jumper cable from the engine ground of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable from the negative(-)
post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of
the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
195

CAUTION!
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging
system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from
the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (e.g., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery discharges suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING!
• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be
brought above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make
an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.
