Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly (with a
relative speed of less than 10 mph (16 km/h)
and the vehicle remains in the blind spot for
approximately 1.5 seconds, the warning light
will be illuminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater than
10 mph (16 km/h), the warning light will not
illuminate.The BSM system is designed not to issue an
alert on stationary objects such as guardrails,
posts, walls, foliage, berms, etc. However, oc-
casionally the system may alert on such ob-
jects. This is normal operation and your vehicle
does not require service.

Uconnect™ Phone — IF EQUIPPED
NOTE:
For Uconnect™ Phone with Navigation or
Multimedia radio, refer to the Navigation or
Multimedia radio’s User’s Manual (separate
booklet) Uconnect™ Phone section.
Uconnect™ Phone is a voice-activated, hands-
free, in-vehicle communications system.
Uconnect™ Phone allows you to dial a phone
number with your mobile phone* using simple
voice commands (e.g., “Call”“Jim”“Work” or
“Dial”“151-1234 -5555”). Your mobile phone’s
audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s au-
dio system; the system will automatically mute
your radio when using the Uconnect™ Phone.
Uconnect™ Phone allows you to transfer calls
between the Uconnect™ Phone and your mo-
bile phone as you enter or exit your vehicle and
enables you to mute the Uconnect™ Phone’s
microphone for private conversation. The Uconnect™ Phone is driven through your
Bluetooth
“Hands-Free profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect™ Phone features Bluetooth tech-
nology - the global standard that enables dif-
ferent electronic devices to connect to each
other without wires or a docking station, so
Uconnect™ Phone works no matter where you
stow your mobile phone (be it your purse,
pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is
turned on and has been paired to the vehicle’s
Uconnect™ Phone. The Uconnect™ Phone al-
lows up to seven mobile phones to be linked to
the system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile
phone can be used with the Uconnect™ Phone
at a time. The Uconnect™ Phone is available in
English, Dutch, French, German, Italian or
Spanish languages (as equipped).
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
local laws and phone use. All attention should
be kept on the roadway ahead. Failure to do
so may result in a collision causing serious
injury or death. Uconnect™ Phone Button

Paging
To learn how to page refer to “Working with
Automated Systems”. Paging works properly
except for pagers of certain companies which
time out a little too soon to work properly with
the Uconnect™ Phone.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to
“Working with Automated Systems”.
Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one
generally has to press numbers on the mobile
phone keypad while navigating through an
automated telephone system.
81

You can use your Uconnect™ Phone to access
a voice mail system or an automated service,
such as a paging service or automated cus-
tomer service. Some services require immedi-
ate response selection. In some instances, that
may be too quick for use of the Uconnect™
Phone.
When calling a number with your Uconnect™
Phone that normally requires you to enter in a
touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone
keypad, you can press the
button and
say the sequence you wish to enter followed by
the word “Send”. For example, if required to
enter your PIN followed with a hash, (3746#),
you can press the
button and say, “3 7 4
6 # Send”. Saying a number, or sequence of
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 Prompts On”
“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 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-

To keep the ACC System operating properly, it
is important to note the following maintenance
items:
•Always keep the sensor clean. Carefully
wipe the sensor lens with a soft cloth. Be
cautious not to damage the sensor lens.
• Do not remove any screws from the sensor.
Doing so could cause an ACC system mal-
function or failure and require a sensor re-
alignment.
• If the sensor is damaged due to a collision,
see your authorized dealer for service.
• Do not attach or install any accessories near
the sensor, including transparent material or
aftermarket grilles. Doing so could cause an
ACC system failure or malfunction.
When the condition that deactivated the system
is no longer present, the system will return to
the “Adaptive Cruise Control Off” state and will
resume function by simply reactivating it.
NOTE:
• If the “Clean Radar Sensor In Front Of
Vehicle” message occurs frequently (e.g.
more than once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction,
have the radar sensor realigned at your
authorized dealer.
• Installing a snow plow, front-end protec-
tor, an aftermarket grille or modifying the
grille is not recommended. Doing so may
block the sensor and inhibit ACC opera-
tion.
Removing ACC Sensor For Off-Roading
NOTE:
When off-roading, it may be advisable to
remove the ACC sensor. The sensor is lo-
cated behind the front lower grille in the
center of the vehicle. After removing the
lower fascia, you may remove the lower
sensor and bracket assembly.
To remove the sensor follow these instructions:
1. Unplug the connector by depressing the two
tabs on the connector and pulling it out. Do not
pull by the wiring or use any tools to remove the
connector.
2. Remove the wiring christmas tree attach-
ment from the back of the bracket. 3. Remove the two M6 fasteners that connect
the bracket to the bumper.
NOTE:
Do not change the adjustment fasteners or
pull the sensor off of the bracket. Doing so
may misalign the sensor.
Store the sensor and bracket assembly in a
safe location. The wiring and connector must
be stowed properly after the sensor and
bracket assembly is removed.
A connector plug is stowed on top of the
bumper beam. Insert the wiring connector into
the connector plug.
NOTE:
When the sensor is removed, Adaptive
Cruise Control, Normal Cruise Control, and
Forward Collision Warning will not be avail-
able. The cluster will display the warning
“ACC/FCW Unavailable - Service Radar Sen-
sor.”
To reinstall the sensor and bracket assembly
reverse the process above. The fastener torque
required to assembly the bracket back to the
beam is 6.6 ft lbs (9 Nm).

ACC Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
“ACC/FCW Unavailable, Vehicle System Error”,
there may be a temporary malfunction that
limits ACC functionality. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, ACC will
be temporarily unavailable. If this occurs, try
activating ACC again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your autho-
rized dealer.
Service ACC Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays
“ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Radar Sen-
sor”, it indicates there is an internal system
fault. Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACCIn certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may
brake late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to
stay alert and may need to intervene.
Adding A Trailer Hitch
The weight of a trailer/hitch may affect the
performance of ACC. If there is a noticeable
change in performance following the installa-
tion of a trailer/hitch, or if the ACC performance
does not return to normal after removing the
trailer/hitch see your authorized dealer.Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel. There
will not be sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead. The offset vehicle may move in and out
of the line of travel, which can cause your
vehicle to brake or accelerate unexpectedly.
Turns And Bends
In turns or bends, ACC may detect a vehicle
ahead too late or too early. This may cause your
vehicle to brake late or unexpectedly. Give
extra attention in curves and be ready to apply
the brakes if necessary. Be sure to select an
appropriate speed while driving in curves.
ACC/FCW Unavailable Warning
126

ACC may occasionally provide braking and/or
a driver alert that you consider unnecessary.
This may be the systems response to signs,
guardrails, and other stationary objects in a
curve. This may also occur at the base of steep
hills. This is normal operation and your vehicle
does not require service.Using ACC On Hills
When driving on hills, ACC may not detect a
vehicle in your lane. Depending on the speed,
vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the steep-
ness of the hills, ACC performance may be
limited.
Lane Changing
ACC will not detect a vehicle until it is com-
pletely in the lane in which you are traveling. In
the illustration shown, ACC has not yet de-
tected the vehicle changing lanes and it may
not detect the vehicle until it’s too late for the
ACC system to take action. ACC will not detect
a vehicle until it is completely in the lane. There
will not be sufficient distance to the lane-
changing vehicle. Always be attentive and
ready to apply the brakes if necessary.
