General Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and
RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the

142

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• This device may not cause harmful interference.

VOICE COMMAND — IF EQUIPPED

Voice Command System Operation

The Uconnect® Voice Command system allows
you to control your AM, FM radio, disk player,
USB mass storage class device, iPod® family of
devices, Bluetooth® Streaming Audio Device,

satellite radio, disc player, and a memo recorder.

NOTE:

Take care to speak into the Voice Interface System

as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of the
Voice Interface System to recognize user voice commands
may be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a raised
voice level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding phone use. Your at-
tention should be focused on safely operating the
vehicle. Failure to do so may result in a collision
causing serious injury or death.

When you press the Voice Command

button, you

will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a
command.

143

NOTE:

If you do not say a command within a few

seconds, the system will present you with a list of
options.

If you would like to interrupt the system while it lists
options, press the Voice Command

button, listen for

the beep, and say your command.

Pressing the Voice Command

button while the

system is speaking is known as “barging in.” The system
will be interrupted, and after the beep, you can add or
change commands. This will become helpful once you
start to learn the options.

NOTE:

At any time, you can say the words “Cancel,”

“Help” or “Main Menu.”

These commands are universal and can be used from any
menu. All other commands can be used depending upon
the active application.

When using this system, you should speak clearly and at
a normal speaking volume.

The system will best recognize your speech if the win-
dows are closed, and the heater/air conditioning fan is
set to low.

At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your
commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.

To hear the first available Menu, press the Voice Com-
mand

button and say “Help” or “Main Menu.”

Commands

The Voice Command system understands two types of
commands, Universal commands and Local commands.
Universal commands are available at all times. Local
commands are available if the supported radio mode is
active.

Heated Seats — If Equipped

There are two heated seat switches that allow the driver and
passenger to operate the seats independently. The controls
for each heater are located near the bottom center of the
instrument panel (below the climate controls).

152

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

You can choose from HIGH, LOW or OFF heat settings.
Amber indicator lights in each switch indicate the level of
heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for
HIGH, one for LOW and none for OFF.

Press the switch once to select HIGH-level
heating. Press the switch a second time to select
LOW-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.

When the HIGH-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 HIGH-level. If the HIGH-level setting is selected,
the system will automatically switch to LOW-level after
approximately 30 minutes of continuous operation. At
that time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from
two to one, indicating the change. The LOW-level setting

will turn OFF automatically after approximately
30 minutes.

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 or seatback that

insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
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.
