break-in. Wide-open throttle accel-
eration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine
at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil
changes should be consistent with an-
ticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and
quality grades, refer to “Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST
NEVER BE USED.
A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand kilome-
ters of operation. This should be con-
sidered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as an indication of
difficulty.
ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR
DIESEL ENGINE
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy
loads, e.g. driving at full throttle. Donot exceed 2/3 of the maximum per-
missible engine speed for each gear.
Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to
brake.
SAFETY TIPS
TRANSPORTING
PASSENGERS
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSEN-
GERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or
death.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside
of a vehicle. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or
killed.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not allow people to ride in anyarea of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat
belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
EXHAUST GAS
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poi-
son you. To avoid breathing (CO),
follow these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closedgarage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.

WARNING!(Continued)
If you are required to drive withthe trunk/liftgate/rear doors
open, make sure that all windows
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
SAFETY CHECKS YOU
SHOULD MAKE INSIDE
THE VEHICLE
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho-
rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
60

Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso-
line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid (if equipped), or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the
cause should be located and corrected
immediately.

OPERATION
Voice commands can be used to oper-
ate the Uconnect® Phone and to navi-
gate through the Uconnect® Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are
required after most Uconnect® Phone
prompts. There are two general meth-
ods 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.
For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For ex-
ample, instead of saying “Call” and
then “John Smith” and then “mo-
bile”, the following compound
command can be said: “Call John
Smith mobile”. For each feature explanation in this
section, only the compound com-
mand form of the voice command 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 command form
voice command “Search for John
Smith”, or you can break the com-
pound command form into two
voice commands: “Search Contact”
and when asked “John Smith”.
Please remember, the Uconnect®
Phone works best when you talk in
a normal conversational tone, as if
speaking to someone sitting a few
meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect® Phone Voice system
uses a Natural Language Voice Rec-
ognition (VR) engine.
Natural speech allows the user to
speak commands in phrases or com-
plete sentences. The system filters out
certain non-word utterances and sounds such as “ah” and “eh.” The
system handles fill-in words such as “I
would like to.”
The system handles multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence such as
“make a phone call” and “to Kelly
Smith.” For multiple inputs in the
same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and pro-
vides the associated follow-up prompt
such as “Who do you want to call?” in
the case where a phone call was re-
quested but the specific name was not
recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog;
when the system requires more infor-
mation from the user it will ask a
question to which the user can re-
spond without pressing the Voice
Command
button on your steer-
ing wheel.

When the HI-level setting is selected,
the heater will provide a boosted heat
level during the first four minutes of
operation. Then, the heat output will
drop to the normal HI-level. If the
HI-level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LO-level
after a maximum of 60 minutes of
continuous operation. At that time,
the display will change from HI to LO,
indicating the change. The LO-level
setting will turn OFF automatically
after a maximum of 45 minutes.
Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the two outboard
seats are equipped with heated seats.
The heated seat switches for these
seats are located on the rear of the
center console. There are two heated
seat switches that allow the rear pas-
sengers to operate the seats indepen-
dently.You can choose from HI, LO or OFF
heat settings. Amber indicator lights
in each switch indicate the level of
heat in use. Two indicator lights will
illuminate for HI, one for LO and
none for OFF.
Press the switch once to se-
lect HI-level heating. Press
the switch a second time to
select LO-level heating.
Press the switch a third time to shut
the heating elements OFF.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to
five minutes.
The engine must be running for the heated seats to operate.
When the HI-level setting is selected,
the heater will provide a boosted heat
level during the first four minutes of
operation. Then, the heat output will
drop to the normal HI-level. If the
HI-level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LO-level
after a maximum of 60 minutes of
continuous operation. At that time, the number of illuminated LEDs
changes from two to one, indicating
the change. The LO-level setting will
turn OFF automatically after a maxi-
mum of 45 minutes.
VENTILATED SEATS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
On some models, both the driver and
passenger seats are ventilated. Lo-
cated in the seat cushion and seatback
are small fans that draw air from the
seat surface through fine perforations
in the seat cover to help keep the
driver and front passenger cooler in
higher ambient temperatures.
The ventilated seats can be operated
using the Uconnect® System.
NOTE: The engine must be run-
ning for the ventilated seats to op-
erate.
Front Ventilated Seat Operation

drive your vehicle unless the hood is
fully closed, with both latches en-
gaged.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the
hood is not fully latched, it could
open when the vehicle is in motion
and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
LIGHTS
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located
on the left side of the instru-
ment panel. This switch con-
trols the operation of the headlights,
parking lights, instrument panel
lights, instrument panel light dim-
ming, interior lights and fog lights.
NOTE: In certain European
countries, the parking light feature
will only operate with the ignition
OFF, or with either the fog lamps or
headlights also ON. Regardless of
ignition switch position, the park-
ing lights will remain ON as long as
the switch is in this first detent. Rotate the headlight switch clockwise
to the first detent for parking light
and instrument panel light operation.
Rotate the headlight switch to the sec-
ond detent for headlight, parking
light and instrument panel light op-
eration.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to am-
bient light levels. To turn the system
on, rotate the headlight switch coun-
terclockwise to the AUTO position.
When the system is on, the headlight
time delay feature is also on. This
means the headlights will stay on for
up to 90 seconds after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. To turn
the automatic system off, move the
headlight switch out of the AUTO po-
sition.
NOTE: The engine must be run-
ning before the headlights will

NOTE: The engine must be run-
ning for the heated steering wheel
to operate.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feelpain to the skin because of ad-
vanced age, chronic illness, dia-
betes, spinal cord injury, medica-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must ex-
ercise care when using the seat
heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cush-
ion. This may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to
the increased surface tempera-
ture of the seat.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The adjustable pedals system is de-
signed to allow a greater range of
driver comfort for steering wheel tilt
and seat position. This feature allows
the brake and accelerator pedals to
move toward or away from the driver
to provide improved position with the
steering wheel.
The switch is located on the front side
of the driver's seat cushion side shield.
Press the switch forward to move the
pedals forward (toward the front of
the vehicle). Press the switch rearward to move the
pedals rearward (toward the driver).
The pedals can be adjusted with the
ignition OFF.
The pedals cannotbe adjusted
when the vehicle is in REVERSE or
