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 an accident
causing serious injury or death.
The Uconnect™ Phone is driven
through your Bluetooth® “Hands-
Free Profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect™ features Bluetooth®
technology - the global standard that
enables different 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 allows
up to ten mobile phones or audio de-
vices to be linked to the system. Only
one linked (or paired) mobile phone
and one audio device can be used with the system at a time. The system is
available in English, Spanish, or
French languages.
Uconnect™ Phone Button
The Uconnect™ Phone
Button is used to get into
the phone mode and make
calls, show recent, incom-
ing, outgoing calls, view phonebook
etc., When you press the button you
will hear a BEEP. The beep is your
signal to give a command.
Uconnect™ Voice Command Button The Uconnect™ Voice
Command
Button is
only used for “barge in”
and when you are already in
a call and you want to send Tones or
make another call.
The
button is also used to access
the Voice Commands for the
Uconnect™ Voice Command features
if your vehicle is equipped. Please see
the Uconnect™ Voice Command sec-
tion for direction on how to use the
button.
The Uconnect™ Phone is fully inte-
grated with the vehicle's audio sys- tem. The volume of the Uconnect™
Phone can be adjusted either from the
radio volume control knob or from the
steering wheel radio control (right
switch), if so equipped.
OPERATION
Voice commands can be used to oper-
ate the Uconnect™ Phone and to
navigate through the Uconnect™
Phone menu structure. Voice com-
mands are required after most
Uconnect™ Phone prompts. There
are two general methods for how
Voice Command works:
1. Say compound commands like
“Call John Smith mobile”.
2. Say the individual commands and
allow the system to guide you to com-
plete the task.
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 “Listen” prompt or an-
other prompt.

This feature provides automatic
driver seat positioning to enhance
driver mobility when entering and ex-
iting the vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves
depends on where you have the driver
seat positioned when you place the
ignition to the OFF position.
 When you cycle the ignition to the
OFF position, the driver seat will
move about 60 mm rearward if the
driver seat position is greater than
or equal to 67.7 mm forward of the
rear stop. The seat will return to its previously set position when you
place the ignition into the ACC or
RUN position.
 When you cycle the ignition to the OFF position, the driver seat will
move to a position 7.7 mm forward
of the rear stop if the driver seat
position is between 22.7 mm and
67.7 mm forward of the rear stop.
The seat will return to its previously
set position when you place the ig-
nition to the ACC or RUN position.
 The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the driver seat po-
sition is less than 22.7 mm forward
of the rear stop. At this position,
there is no benefit to the driver by
moving the seat for Easy Exit or
Easy Entry.

ment Panel” for further infor-
mation.
SMARTBEAM™
The SmartBeam™ system provides
increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mir-
ror. This camera detects vehicle spe-
cific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until
the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
 SmartBeam™ can be turned on or off using the Uconnect
Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further infor-
mation.
 Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of ve-
hicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle).
Also, dirt, film, and other ob-
structions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the sys-
tem to function improperly.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRLs)
DRLs come ON when the vehicle is
running and shifted out of park, the
headlights are OFF and the parking
brake is OFF. The headlight switch
must be used for normal nighttime
driving. If a turn signal is activated,
the DRL lamp on the same side of the
vehicle will turn off for the duration of
the turn signal activation. Once the
turn signal is no longer active, the
DRL lamp will illuminate.
NOTE:
Depending on your area's regula-
tions, DRLs may be able to be
turned on and off. The DRLs can
be turned on and off using the
Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. ADAPTIVE BI-XENON
HIGH INTENSITY

cated on the left side of the steering
column.
TURN SIGNALS
Move 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 defec-
tive outside light bulb. If an in-
dicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defec-
tive.
 A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the EVIC (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided) and a continuous chime
will sound if the vehicle is driven
more than 1.6 km with either

Multifunction Lever
107

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
AND WASHERS
The multifunction lever operates the
windshield wipers and washer when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
or ACC position. The multifunction
lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.
Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to the first detent, past the inter-
mittent settings for low-speed wiper
operation, or to the second detent past
the intermittent settings for high-
speed wiper operation.
CAUTION!
 Turn the windshield wipers offwhen driving through an auto-
matic car wash. Damage to the
windshield wipers may result if
the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
 In cold weather, always turn off
the wiper switch and allow the
wipers to return to the “Park” po-
sition before turning off the en-
gine. If the wiper switch is left on
and the wipers freeze to the wind-
shield, damage to the wiper motor
may occur when the vehicle is re-
started.
 Always remove any buildup of
snow that prevents the windshield
wiper blades from returning to the
off position. If the windshield
wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off
position, damage to the wiper mo-
tor may occur.
INTERMITTENT WIPER
SYSTEM
Use the intermittent wiper when
weather conditions make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause
between cycles desirable. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to the
first detent position, and then turn the
end of the lever to select the desired
delay interval. There are four delay
settings, which allow you to regulate
the wipe interval from a minimum of
one cycle every second to a maximum
of approximately 18 seconds between
cycles. The delay intervals will double
in duration when the vehicle speed is
16 km/h or less.
MIST FEATURE
Rotate the end of the lever downward
to the Mist position to activate a single
wipe cycle to clear off road mist or
spray from a passing vehicle. The
wipers will continue to operate until
you release the multifunction lever.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate
the washer pump; therefore, no
washer fluid will be sprayed on the
windshield. The wash function
must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Control

WINDSHIELD WASHERS
To use the washer, push the multi-
function lever inward (toward the
steering column) and hold it for as
long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper control is in the de-
lay range, the wipers will operate for
two wipe cycles after releasing the
lever and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the
windshield wiper is turned off, the
wipers will operate for three wipe
cycles and then turn off.WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden ic-
ing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.HEADLIGHTS ON WITH
WIPERS (Available With
Automatic Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the head-
lights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after the wipers are turned
on if the headlight switch is placed in
the AUTO position. In addition, the
headlights will turn off when the wip-
ers are turned off if they were turned
on by this feature.
The Headlights On with Wipers fea-
ture can be turned on and off using
the Uconnect Touch™ System, refer
to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This feature senses moisture on the
windshield and automatically acti-
vates the wipers for the driver. The
feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of four settings to activate
this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be
adjusted with the multifunction lever.
Wiper delay position 1 is the least
sensitive, and wiper delay position 4 is
the most sensitive. Setting 3 should be
used for normal rain conditions. Set-
tings 1 and 2 can be used if the driver
desires less wiper sensitivity. Settings
4 can be used if the driver desires
more sensitivity. The rain sense wip-
ers will automatically change between
an intermittent wipe, slow wipe and a
fast wipe depending on the amount of
moisture that is sensed on the wind-
shield. Place the wiper switch in the
OFF position when not using the sys-
tem.
The Rain Sensing feature can be
turned on and off using the Uconnect
Touch™ System, refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
