NOTE:

If your vehicle is equipped with a front bench seat,

the center head restraint is not adjustable or

removable.

Rear Head Restraints

The outboard head restraints are non-adjustable,

but can be folded down for improved rearward

visibility. Push the button on the outboard side of

the head restraint to release. To return the head

restraint to its upright position, push up on the

head restraint until it locks back into place.

NOTE:

The head restraints should only be removed by

qualified technicians, for service purposes only. If

page 338.

WARNING!



All occupants, including the driver, should not

operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until

the head restraints are placed in their proper

positions in order to minimize the risk of neck

injury in the event of a crash.



Head restraints should never be adjusted

while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle

with the head restraints improperly adjusted

or removed could cause serious injury or

death in the event of a collision.

WARNING!

Sitting in a seat with the head restraint in its

lowered position could result in serious injury or

death in a collision. Always make sure the

outboard head restraints are in their upright

positions when the seat is to be occupied.

Display, and the Uconnect 5 NAV With 12-inch

Display.



“Cancel” to stop a current voice session.



“Help” to hear a list of suggested Voice

Commands.



“Repeat” to listen to the system prompts again.

Notice the visual cues that inform you of your Voice

to check mobile

device and feature compatibility and to find

phone pairing instructions.

2. Reduce background noise. Wind noise and

passenger conversations are examples of

noise that may impact recognition.

3. Speak clearly at a normal pace and volume

while facing straight ahead. The microphone is

located in the headliner and aimed at the

driver.

4. Each time you give a Voice Command, you

must first push either the VR or Phone button,

wait until after the beep, then say your Voice

Command. You can also say the vehicle “Wake

Up” word and state your command. Some

examples of “Wake Up” words include “Hey

Before programming a device to one of your

HomeLink® buttons, you must determine whether

the device has a rolling code or non-rolling code.
Rolling Code Devices
To determine if your device has a rolling code, a

good indicator is its manufacturing date. Typically,

devices manufactured after 1995 have rolling

codes. A device with a rolling code will also have a

“LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the

antenna is attached to the device.

The button may not be immediately visible when

looking at the device. The name and color of the

button may vary slightly by manufacturer.

NOTE:

The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button

you normally use to operate the device.
Non-rolling Code Devices
Most devices manufactured before 1995 will not

have a rolling code. These devices will also not

have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.

NOTE:

Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require trans

For programming transmitters in Canada/United

States that require the transmitter signals to

“time-out” after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require

transmitter signals to time-out (or quit) after

several seconds of transmission, which may not be

long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal

during programming. Similar to this Canadian law,

some U.S. gate operators are designed to time-out

in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the

cycling process to prevent possible overheating of

the garage door or gate motor.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™,

place the ignition in the RUN position. Make sure

while programming HomeLink® with the engine on

that your vehicle is outside of your garage, or that

The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control

system provides increased forward lighting at night

by automating high beam control through the use

of a camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror

or a windshield mounted camera. These cameras

detect vehicle specific light and automatically

switch from high beams to low beams until the

approaching vehicle is out of view.

NOTE:



The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control

can be turned on or off by selecting “ON” under

“Auto Dim High Beams” within your Uconnect

Settings

Ú

page 237, as well as turning the

headlight switch to the AUTO position.



Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and

taillights of vehicles in the field of view will

cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to

the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstruc

-

tions on the windshield or camera lens will

cause the system to function improperly.



If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Head

-

lamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must

be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See

a local authorized dealer.



To opt out of the Advanced Auto High Beam

Sensitivity Control (default) and enter Reduced

High Beam Sensitivity Control (not recom

-

mended), toggle the high beam lever six full

on/off cycles within 10 seconds of placing the

ignition in the ON position. The system will

return to the default setting upon placing the

ignition in the OFF position.
