WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag WarningLight in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood
to enhance pedestrian protection.
If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.
Modifications to any part of the Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or
cover.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not attempt to modify anypart of your Active Hood system.
The Active Hood may deploy ac-
cidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for any hood
service.
Drivers must be aware of pedes- trians. Always be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, and obstructions. You
are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)
BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts.
The feature is active whenever the ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and
remain on until both front seat belts
are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided). It

WARNING!(Continued)
Do not put anything on or aroundthe air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflat-
ing.
Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band ra-
dios, etc.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced
protection to help protect an occupant
during a side impact. The SAB is
marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front
seats. When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat’s trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de-
ploys the left air bag only and a right-
side impact deploys the right air bag
only.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
protection to front and rear seat out-
board occupants in addition to that
provided by the body structure. Each
air bag features inflated chambers
placed adjacent to the head of each
outboard occupant that reduce the po-
tential for side-impact head injuries. The SABIC deploy downward, cover-
ing both windows on the impact side.
NOTE:
Air Bag covers may not be obvi-
ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy-
ment.
Being too close to the side air bags during deployment could
cause you to be severely injured
or killed.
SAB and SABIC air bags are a supple-
ment to the seat belt restraint system.
Occupants, including children who
are up against or very close to SAB or
SABIC air bags can be seriously in-
jured or killed. Occupants, especially
children, should not lean on or sleep

Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de-
tects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of non-
toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the
collision type and severity. The steer-
ing wheel hub trim cover and the up-
per right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The
air bags fully inflate in about 50 to 70
milliseconds. This is about half of the
time it takes to blink your eyes. The
air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in thesides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con-
trol of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag Inflator Unit
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag unit is located in the instru-
ment panel trim beneath the steering
column. When the ORC detects a col-
lision requiring the Advanced Front
Air Bags, it signals the inflator units.
A large quantity of non-toxic gas is
generated to inflate the Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag. The trim
cover separates and folds out of the
way allowing the air bag to inflate to
the full size. The air bag fully inflates
in about 15 to 20 milliseconds.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col-
lision.Based on the severity and type of col-
lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig-
gered, releasing a quantity of non-
toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.
The SAB fully inflates in about 10
milliseconds. The side air bag 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 positioned in the area where the
side air bag inflates. This especially
applies to children.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
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 de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
43

The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF. If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision, which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.

MIRRORS
AUTOMATIC DIMMING
MIRROR
This mirror automatically adjusts for
headlight glare from vehicles behind
you.
NOTE: This feature is disabled
when the vehicle is moving in re-
verse.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror dur-
ing cleaning, never spray any
cleaning solution directly onto the
mirror. Apply the solution onto a
clean cloth and wipe the mirror
clean.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust
the outside mirror(s) to center on the
adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the
inside mirror.
NOTE: The passenger side con-
vex outside mirror will give a
much wider view to the rear, and
especially of the lane next to your
vehicle.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
the passenger side convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too
much on your passenger side con-
vex mirror could cause you to col-
lide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when
judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side
convex mirror.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
FOLDING FEATURE
Vehicles are equipped with mirrors
that are hinged. The hinge allows the
mirror to pivot forward and rearward
to resist damage. The hinge has three
detent positions: full forward, full
rearward and normal.
DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC
DIMMING MIRROR
This feature is controlled by the inside
automatic dimming mirror and will
automatically adjust for headlight
glare when the inside mirror adjusts.
NOTE: This feature is also avail-
able on the passenger's side when
equipped with turn signal and ap-
proach lighting.

NOTE: In a parking lot situation,
oncoming vehicles can be ob-
scured by vehicles parked on ei-
ther side. If the sensors are
blocked by other structures or ve-
hicles, the system will not be able
to alert the driver.
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 ve-
hicle, look behind you, and be sure
to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and
blind spots before backing up. Fail-
ure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
MODES OF OPERATION
Modes Of Operation With EVIC
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Features)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
Modes Of Operation With
Uconnect® System — (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided)
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect® sys-
tem screen. Refer to “Customer- Pro-
grammable Features — Uconnect®
Access settings ” 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 sideview mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present 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 re-
quested by the BSM system, the
radio volume is reduced.
76

If the hazard flashers are on, thesystem will request the appro-
priate 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. Whenever an audible alert
is requested, the radio volume is re-
duced. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always re-
quests the audible chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off (Lights Only)
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 operating mode when
the vehicle is shut off. Each time
the vehicle is started, the previ-
ously stored mode will be recalled
and used.Uconnect® PHONE
(8.4/8.4N)
Uconnect® 8.4/8.4 NAV
Uconnect® Phone is a voice-
activated, hands-free, in-vehicle com-
munications system. Uconnect®
Phone allows you to dial a phone
number with your mobile phone.
Uconnect® Phone supports the fol-
lowing features:
NOTE: Your phone must be ca-
pable of SMS messaging via
Bluetooth® for messaging features
to work properly.
Your mobile phone’s audio is trans-
mitted through your vehicle’s audio
system; the system will automatically
mute your radio when using the
Uconnect® Phone.
Uconnect® Phone allows you to
transfer calls between the system and
your mobile phone as you enter or exit
your vehicle and enables you to mute
the system's microphone for private
conversation.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding
phone use. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the ve-
hicle. 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® tech-
nology - the global standard that en-
ables 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. 77

Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances
where one generally has to press num-
bers on the mobile phone keypad
while navigating through an auto-
mated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect® Phone to
access a voice mail system or an auto-
mated service, such as a paging ser-
vice or automated customer service
line. Some services require immediate
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 re-
quires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your mobile phone key-
pad, you can utilize the touchscreen
or press the
button and say the
word “Send” then the sequence you
wish to enter. For example, if required
to enter your PIN followed with a
pound, (3746#),youcanpressthe
button and say, “Send3746#.”
Saying “Send” followed by a number,
or sequence of numbers, is also to be used for navigating through an auto-
mated customer service center menu
structure, and to leave a number on a
pager.
You can also send stored mobile
phonebook entries as tones for fast
and easy access to voice mail and
pager entries. For example, if you pre-
viously created a Phonebook entry
with First and/or Last Name as
“Voicemail Password”, then if you
press the
button and say “Send
Voicemail Password” the Uconnect®
Phone will then send the correspond-
ing phone number associated with the
phonebook entry, as tones over the
phone.
NOTE:
The first number encountered for that contact will be sent. All
other numbers entered for that
contact will be ignored.
You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone network
configurations. This is normal. Some paging and voice mail sys-
tems have system time out set-
tings that are too short and may
not allow the use of this feature.
Pauses, wait or other characters that are supported by some
phones are not supported over
Bluetooth®. These additional
symbols will be ignored in the
dialing a numbered sequence.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The
button can be used when
you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immedi-
ately. For example, if a prompt is ask-
ing “There are two numbers with the
name John. Say the full name” you
could press the
button and say,
“John Smith” to select that option
without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.
