VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the hood,
liftgate, liftgate flipper glass, vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry, and the ignition switch for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will pre-
vent the vehicle from starting and provide the
following audio and visual signals: the horn will
pulse, the headlights will flash, the park lights
will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm the System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and
either press a power door lock switch while the
driver or passenger door is open, or press the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. After the last door is closed,
or if all doors are closed, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm itself in about 16 seconds.
During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is not arming. Also, if you open a door
during the arming period, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will cancel the arming process. If you
wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after
closing the door, you must repeat one of the
previously-described arming sequences.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Press the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button
until the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) indicates that the vehicle ignition is
“OFF” (refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Start-
ing And Operating” for further information).
Then either press the power door LOCK switch
15

single chime will sound if the light comes on
again after initial startup.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate
the instrument cluster Airbag Warning Light if a
malfunction is noted that could affect the airbag
system. The diagnostics also record the nature
of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Airbag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t have
the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the
light does not come on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive,
have an authorized dealer service the airbag
system immediately.
Driver and Passenger Advanced Front
Airbag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced Front
Airbag Inflator Units are located in the center of
the steering wheel and the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC detects a
collision requiring the Advanced Front Airbags,
it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the Ad-
vanced Front Airbags. Different airbag inflation
rates are possible, based on the collision type
and severity. The steering wheel hub trim cover
and the upper right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the airbags
inflate to their full size. The airbags fully inflate
in about 50 to 70 milliseconds. This is about half
of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The
airbags then quickly deflate while helping to
restrain the driver and front passenger.
The Advanced Front Airbag gas is vented
through the vent holes in the sides of the
airbag. In this way, the airbags do not interfere
with your control of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Airbag
Inflator Unit
The driver side knee airbag unit is located in
the instrument panel trim beneath the steering
column. When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the airbag, it signals the inflator units.
A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated
to inflate the knee airbag. The trim cover sepa-
rates and folds out of the way allowing the
airbag to inflate to the full size. The airbag fully
inflates in about 15 to 20 milliseconds.Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbag
(SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
are designed to activate only in certain side
collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision requires
the side airbags to inflate based on the severity
and type of collision.
Based on the severity and type of collision, the
side airbag inflator on the crash side of the
vehicle may be triggered, releasing a quantity
of non-toxic gas. The inflating side airbag exits
through the seat seam into the space between
the occupant and the door. The side airbags
fully inflate in about 10 milliseconds. The side
airbag moves at a very high speed and with
such a high force, that it could injure you if you
are not seated properly, or if items are posi-
tioned in the area where the side airbag in-
flates. This especially applies to children.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC) Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is confined
to a particular area of the side of the vehicle,
the ORC may deploy the SABIC airbags, de-

numbers, followed by “Send”, is also to be
used for navigating through an automated cus-
tomer service center menu structure, and to
leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect™ Phone-
book 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 press the
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 num-
ber 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 press
the
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).
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Setup Confirmations”. The
Uconnect™ Phone will play the current con-
firmation prompt status and you will be given
the choice to change it.
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 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 precautionary safety measures). By dial-
ing a number with your paired Bluetooth
mo-
bile phone, the audio will be played through
your vehicle’s 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

Ambient LightThe overhead console is equipped with an
ambient light feature. This light casts illumina-
tion for improved visibility of the floor center
console and PRNDL area.
Multifunction LeverThe multifunction lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
Turn SignalsMove the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster flash to show proper operation of the
front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash,
or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it
would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Lane Change AssistTap the lever up or down once, without moving
beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or
left) will flash three times then automatically turn
off.
Flash-To-PassYou can signal another vehicle with your head-
lights by partially pulling the multifunction lever
toward the steering wheel. This will cause the
high beam headlights to turn on until the lever
is released.

ParkSenseSensorsThe four ParkSense sensors, located in the
rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the
vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view.
The sensors can detect obstacles from ap-
proximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 79 in (200 cm)
from the rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal
direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in the
front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in front of
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately 12 in (30 cm) up to 47 in
(120 cm) from the front fascia/bumper in the
horizontal direction, depending on the location,
type and orientation of the obstacle.ParkSense Warning DisplayThe ParkSense Warning screen will only be

or below 11 mph/18 km/h) and the system is disabled, the EVIC will display the “PARK AS-
SIST OFF” message for as long as the vehicle is
in REVERSE or for five seconds when the
vehicle is in DRIVE.
The ParkSense
switch LED will be ON when
ParkSense is disabled or defective. The Park-
Sense switch LED will be OFF when the
system is enabled.
The ParkSense system uses four sensors lo-
cated in the rear bumper fascia to scan for
obstacles up to 79 in (200 cm) away from the
rear bumper fascia. The ParkSense system
135

uses six sensors located in the front bumper
fascia to scan for obstacles up to 47 in
(120 cm) away from the front bumper fascia.
The warning display located above in the In-
strument Cluster’s EVIC provides both visible
and audible warnings to indicate the range of
the object.
Service the ParkSensePark Assist
System
When the ParkSense Park Assist System is
malfunctioning, the instrument cluster will actu-
ate a single chime, once per ignition cycle. The
instrument cluster will display the “REAR SEN-
SOR BLINDED” message when any of the rear
sensor(s) is blocked by snow, mud, or ice and
the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE or DRIVE.
The instrument cluster will display the “CLEAN
PARK ASSIST SENSORS” message when any
of the front sensor(s) is blocked by snow, mud,
or ice and the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE
or DRIVE. The instrument cluster will display the
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message
when any of the rear or front sensors are
damaged and require service. When the shift
lever is moved to REVERSE or DRIVE and the system has detected a faulted condition, the
EVIC will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST
SENSORS” or the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” message for as long as the vehicle is
in REVERSE or DRIVE (at speeds less than
11 mph/18 km/h). Under this condition Park-
Sense
will not operate. Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
If the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST SENSORS” mes-
sage appears in the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) and the rear fascia/bumper
or front fascia/bumper is clean and clear of
snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruction, see
your authorized dealer. If “SERVICE PARK AS-
SIST SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your
authorized dealer.
Cleaning the ParkSense SystemClean the ParkSense sensors with water, car
wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or
hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sen-
sors. Otherwise, you could damage the sen-
sors.
ParkSense System Usage
Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the front and rear bumper are
free of snow, ice, mud, dirt and debris to
keep the ParkSense system operating
properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vi-
brations could affect the performance of
ParkSense .
• When you turn ParkSense off, the instru-
ment cluster will display “PARK ASSIST
OFF.” Furthermore, once you turn Park-
Sense off, it remains off until you turn it
on again, even if you cycle the ignition
key.
• When you move the shift lever to the
REVERSE or DRIVE position and Park-
Sense is turned off, the instrument clus-
ter will display “PARK ASSIST OFF” mes-
sage for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE and when the vehicle is in
DRIVE at or below 11 mph (18 km/h).
• ParkSense , when on, will MUTE the radio
when it is sounding a tone.
136

•Clean the ParkSense sensors regularly,
taking care not to scratch or damage
them. The sensors must not be covered
with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or debris.
Failure to do so can result in the system
not working properly. The ParkSense 
system might not detect an obstacle be-
hind or in front of the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an
obstacle is behind or in front of the fascia/
bumper.
• Objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer
hitches, etc., must not be placed within
12 in (30 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper
while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so
can result in the system misinterpreting a
close object as a sensor problem, caus-
ing the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM” message to be displayed in the
instrument cluster.CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is
unable to recognize every obstacle, includ-
ing small obstacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not detected at all.
Obstacles located above or below the sen-
sors 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.
When backing up, it is recommended that
the driver looks over his/her shoulder when
using ParkSense .WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkSense Park
Assist System. Always check carefully be-
hind 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.
