A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYSYour vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
This system consists of a Key Fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Wireless
Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition
switch. You can insert the Key Fob into the
ignition switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-
N-Go feature, refer to “Starting Procedures” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four operat-
ing positions, three of which are detented and
one spring-loaded. The detented positions are
OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position is
a spring-loaded momentary contact position.
When released from the START position, the
switch automatically returns to the detented
ON/RUN position.NOTE:
With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
will display the ignition switch position
(OFF/ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
Key FobThe Key Fob operates the ignition switch. Insert
the square end of the key fob into the ignition
switch located on the instrument panel and
rotate to the desired position. It also contains
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and an emergency key, which stores in the rear
of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle on the driver’s side should the battery in
the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the glove
box. You can keep the emergency key with you
when valet parking.
NOTE:
Entering a vehicle using the emergency key
with the theft alarm armed, will result in the
alarm sounding. Insert the Key Fob (even if
the Key Fob battery is dead) into the ignition
switch to disarm theft alarm.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the Key Fob side-
ways with your thumb and then pull the key out
with your other hand.

you place the shift lever in PARK, it may
become trapped temporarily in the igni-
tion switch. If this occurs, place the shift
lever in PARK, rotate the key to the right
slightly, then remove the Key Fob as de-
scribed. If a malfunction occurs, the sys-
tem may trap the key in the ignition switch
to warn you that this safety feature is
inoperable. The engine can be started and
stopped, but the Key Fob cannot be re-
moved until you obtain service.
• The power window switches, radio, power
sunroof (if equipped), and power outlets
will remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature. The time for this
feature is programmable. Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/

When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE,
the driver is alerted using both the visual and
audible alarms, including reducing the radio
volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a Back Up Aid system. It is
intended to be used to help a driver detect an
oncoming vehicle in a parking lot situation.
Drivers must be careful when backing up,
even when using RCP. 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. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Modes Of OperationThree selectable modes of operation are avail-
able in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in RCP, the system will respond with
both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime, the BSM system will provide a visual
alert in the appropriate side view mirror based
on a detected object. If the turn signal is then
activated, and it corresponds to an alert pres-
ent on that side of the vehicle, an audible chime
will also be sounded. Whenever a turn signal
and detected object are present on the same
side at the same time, both the visual and audio
alerts will be issued. In addition to the audible
alert the radio (if on) volume will be reduced.
NOTE:
•Whenever an audible alert is requested by
the BSM system, the radio volume is re-
duced. •
If the hazard flashers are on, the system
will request the appropriate visual alert
only.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. When-
ever an audible alert is requested, the radio
volume is reduced. Turn/hazard signal status
is ignored; the RCP state always requests
the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be
no visual or audible alerts from either the BSM
or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off.
Each time the vehicle is started the previ-
ously stored mode will be recalled and used.

the radio volume control knob or from the
steering wheel radio control, if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual
prompts from the Uconnect™ Phone such as
CELL or caller ID on certain radios.
Compatible Phones* The Uconnect™ Phone requires a mobile
phone equipped with the Bluetooth
“Hands-Free Profile”, version 1.0 or higher.
See Uconnect™ website for supported
phones.
• www.chrysler.com/uconnect
• www.dodge.com/uconnect
• www.jeep.com/uconnect
To find the list of compatible phones navigate
through the following menus:
• Select model year for the vehicle
• Select type of the vehicle
• In the getting started tab, select compatible

OperationVoice commands can be used to operate the
Uconnect™ Phone and to navigate through the
Uconnect™ Phone menu structure. Voice com-
mands are required after most Uconnect™
Phone prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through
the available options.
•Prior to giving a voice command, one must
wait for the beep, which follows the “Ready”
prompt or another prompt.
• For certain operations, compound com-
mands can be used. For example, instead of
saying “Setup” and then “Phone Pairing”, the
following compound command can be said:
“Setup Phone Pairing”.
• For each feature explanation in this section,
only the compound form of the voice com-
mand is given. You can also break the com-
mands into parts and say each part of the
command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound form
voice command “Phonebook New Entry”, or
you can break the compound form com-
mand into two voice commands: “Phone- book” and “New Entry”. Please remember,
the Uconnect™ Phone works best when you
talk in a normal conversational tone, as if
speaking to someone sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.

Pair (Link) Uconnect™ Phone To A Mobile
Phone
To begin using your Uconnect™ Phone, you
must pair your compatible Bluetoothenabled
mobile phone (refer to “Compatible Phones”
section to learn about the phone type).
To complete the pairing process, you will need
to reference your mobile phone owner’s
manual. The Uconnect™ website may also
provide detailed instructions for pairing.
The following are general phone to Uconnect™
Phone pairing instructions:
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Setup Phone Pairing”.
• When prompted, after the beep, say “Pair a
Phone” and follow the audible prompts.
• You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal
Identification Number (PIN), which you will
later need to enter into your mobile phone.
You can enter any four-digit PIN. You will not
need to remember this PIN after the initial
pairing process. •
For identification purposes, you will be
prompted to give the Uconnect™ Phone a
name for your mobile phone. Each mobile
phone that is paired should be given a
unique phone name.
• You will then be asked to give your mobile
phone a priority level between 1 and 7, with
1 being the highest priority. You can pair up
to seven mobile phones to your Uconnect™
Phone. However, at any given time, only one
mobile phone can be in use, connected to
your Uconnect™ System. The priority allows
the Uconnect™ Phone to know which mobile
phone to use if multiple mobile phones are in
the vehicle at the same time. For example, if
priority 3 and priority 5 phones are present in
the vehicle, the Uconnect™ Phone will use
the priority 3 mobile phone when you make a

ample, say “Robert Smith” or “Robert” in-
stead of “Bob”.
• When prompted, enter the number designa-
tion (e.g., “Home”, “Work”, “Mobile”, or
“Other”). This will allow you to store multiple
numbers for each phonebook entry, if de-
sired. •
When prompted, recite the phone number

a separate 32-name phonebook accessible
only in that language. In addition, if equipped
and supported by your phone, Uconnect™
Phone automatically downloads your mobile
phone’s phonebook.
Phonebook Download — Automatic
Phonebook Transfer From Mobile Phone
If equipped and specifically supported by your
phone, Uconnect™ Phone automatically down-
loads names (text names) and number entries
from your mobile phone’s phonebook. Specific
Bluetooth Phones with Phone Book Access
Profile may support this feature. See
Uconnect™ website for supported phones. •
To call a name from downloaded (or
Uconnect™) Phonebook, follow the proce-
dure in “Call by Saying a Name” section.
• Automatic download and update, if sup-
ported, begins as soon as the phone
Bluetooth wireless connection is made to
the Uconnect™ Phone. For example, after
you start the vehicle.
• Maximum of 1000 entries per phone will be
downloaded and updated every time a
phone is connected to the Uconnect™
Phone.
• Depending on the maximum number of en-
tries downloaded, there may be a short
delay before the latest downloaded names
can be used. Until then, if available, the
previously downloaded phonebook is avail-
able for use.
• Only the phonebook of the currently con-
nected mobile phone is accessible.
• Only the mobile phone’s phonebook is
downloaded. SIM card phonebook is not
part of the mobile phonebook.

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
