Enhanced Accident Response System
If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical
system remains functional, vehicles equipped with
power door locks will unlock automatically. In addition,
approximately 10 seconds after the vehicle has stopped
moving, the interior lights will light until the ignition
switch is turned off. Maintaining Your Airbag Systems
WARNING!• Modifications to any part of the airbag system
could cause it to fail when you need it. You could be
injured because the airbags are not there to protect
you. Do not modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of badges or stickers to
the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper right
side of the instrument panel. Do not modify the
front bumper, vehicle body structure, or frame.
• You need proper knee impact protection in a colli-
sion. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket equip-
ment on or behind the knee bolster.
• It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag
system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works
on your vehicle that it has airbags.56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

• System will prompt you to say the name of the person
you want call.
• After the  Ready  prompt and the following beep, say
the name of the person you want to call. For example,
you can say  John Doe,  where John Doe is a previ-
ously stored name entry in the UConnect™ phone-
book. Refer to  Add Names to Your UConnect™
Phonebook,  to learn how to store a name in the
phonebook.
• The UConnect™ system will confirm the name and
then dial the corresponding phone number, which
may appear in the display of certain radios.
Add Names to Your UConnect™ Phonebook
NOTE: Adding names to phonebook is recommended
when vehicle is not in motion.
• Press the “Phone” button to begin. • After the  Ready  prompt and the following beep, say
 Phonebook New Entry. 
• When prompted, say the name of the new entry. Use of
long names helps the voice recognition and is recom-
mended. For example, say  Robert Smith  or  Robert 
instead of  Bob. 
• When prompted, enter the number designation (e.g.,
 Home,  Work,  Mobile,  or  Pager  ). This will allow
you to store multiple numbers for each phonebook
entry, if desired.
• When prompted, recite the phone number for the
phonebook entry that you are adding.
After you are finished adding an entry into the phone-
book, you will be given the opportunity to add more
phone numbers to the current entry or to return to the
main menu. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 93

certain companies which time-out a little too soon to
work properly with the UConnect™ system.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to  Working
with Automated Systems. 
Working with Automated Systems
This method is designed to be used in instances where
one generally has to press numbers on the cellular phone
keypad while navigating through an automated tele-
phone system.
You can use your UConnect™ system to access a voice-
mail system or an automated service, such as, paging
service or automated customer service. Some services
require immediate response selection, in some instances,
that may be too quick for use of UConnect™ system.
When calling a number with your UConnect™ system
that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can push
the ’Voice Recognition’ button and say the sequence you
wish to enter followed by the word  Send.  For example,
if required to enter your pin number followed with a
poun d3746#,youcanpressthe’Voice Recognition’
button and say  3746# Send.  Saying a number, or
sequence of numbers, followed by  Send  is also to be
used to navigate through an automated customer service
center menu structure and to leave a number on a pager.
Barge In - Overriding Prompts
The ’Voice Recognition’ button can be used when you
wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice
recognition command immediately. For example, if a
prompt is playing  Would you like to pair a phone, clear
a  ,  you could press the ’Voice Recognition’ button and
say  Pair a Phone  to select that option without having to
listen to the rest of the voice prompt. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 101

press the switch again to obtain Low heat level. Pressing
the switch a third time will turn the heated seats OFF. If
you do not purposefully turn the switch OFF, the seat
heating level will automatically change to the next lower
level, or OFF. The High heat level operates for 30 minutes
(approximate), the Low heat level operates for 30 min-
utes (approximate). The seat heat will also turn OFF
when the ignition is turned OFF. Both of the indicators
ON identifies High heat level. The lower indicator On
only, identifies Low heat level. Flashing indicator lights
on the switch indicate that the Heated Seat System needs
servicing. WARNING!Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise 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 that insulates
against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 119
