Chrysler 300 SRT (2014 year). Instruction — part 8

WARNING!

The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only an aid to
help detect objects in the blind spot zones. The BSM

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

system is not designed to detect pedestrians, bicy-
clists, or animals. Even if your vehicle is equipped
with the BSM system, always check your vehicle’s
mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use your turn
signal before changing lanes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

Rear Cross Path

The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to aid the
drivers when backing out of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking space until the
rear end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will
then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.

Opposing Traffic

124

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both sides of
the vehicle, for objects that are moving toward the side of
the vehicle with a minimum speed of approximately
3 mph (5 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of
approximately 20 mph (32 km/h), such as in parking lot
situations.

NOTE:

In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles can

be obscured by vehicles parked on either side. If the
sensors are blocked by other structures or vehicles, 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 vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before back-
ing up. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or
death.

Modes Of Operation

Three selectable modes of operation are available in the
Uconnect® System. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings/
Customer Programmable Features” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

Blind Spot Alert Lights Only

When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM
system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected object. However, when
the system is operating in Rear Cross Path mode, 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 mode,
the BSM system will provide a visual alert in the appro-
priate 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 de-
tected 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 reduced.

• 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. Whenever an audible alert is requested, the radio
volume is reduced. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the chime.

126

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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 operating

mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle
is started the previously stored mode will be recalled and
used.

Uconnect® features Bluetooth® technology - the global
standard that enables different electronic devices to con-
nect 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 devices 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

enter the phone mode and make calls, show
recent,

incoming,

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 Com-

mands for the Uconnect® Voice Command features if

your vehicle is equipped. Please see the Uconnect®
Voice Command section for direction on how to use
the

button.

The Uconnect® Phone is fully integrated with the ve-
hicles audio system. 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 operate the Uconnect®
Phone and to navigate 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 mo-

bile.”

130

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

2. Say the individual commands and allow the system to

guide you to complete 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 another
prompt.

• For certain operations, compound commands can be

used. For example, instead of saying “Call” and then
“John Smith” and then “mobile”, the following com-
pound command can be said: “Call John Smith mo-
bile.”

• For each feature explanation in this section, only the

compound command form of the voice command is
given. You can also break the commands 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 compound 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 feet/
meters away from you.

Natural Speech

Your Uconnect® Phone Voice system uses a Natural
Language Voice Recognition (VR) engine.

Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in
phrases or complete 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

131

Smith.” For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sen-
tence, the system identifies the topic or context and
provides the associated follow-up prompt such as “Who
do you want to call?” in the case where a phone call was
requested but the specific name was not recognized.

The system utilizes continuous dialog; when the system
requires more information from the user it will ask a
question to which the user can respond without pressing
the “Voice Command”

button on your steering

wheel.

Voice Command Tree

Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.

Help Command

If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say “Help” following
the beep.

To activate the Uconnect® Phone from idle, simply press
the

button on your steering wheel and say a

command or say “help.” All Uconnect® Phone ses-
sions begin with a press of the

button on the radio

control head.

Cancel Command

At any prompt, after the beep, you can say “Cancel” and
you will be returned to the main menu.

You can also press the

or

button on your

steering wheel when the system is listening for a
command and be returned to the main or previous
menu.
