UConnectŸ is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle
communications system. UConnectŸ; allows you to dial
your cellular phone using simple voice commands (e.g.,
ªCallº or ªDialº). Your cellular phone's audio is trans-
mitted through your vehicle's stereo system; the system
will automatically mute your radio before receiving or
sending a call.UConnectŸ allows you to transfer calls between the
system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle, and enables you to mute the system's micro-
phone for private conversations.
The UConnectŸ; phone book enables you to store up to
32 names and four numbers per name. This system is
driven through your BluetoothŸ Hands-Free Profile
cellular phone. UConnectŸ features BluetoothŸ technol-
ogy - the global standard that enables different electronic
devices to connect to each other without wires or a
docking station, so UConnectŸ works no matter where
you stow your cellular phone (be it your purse, pocket, or
briefcase). UConnectŸ allows up to seven cellular
phones to be linked to the system, and it is available in
English, French, or Spanish formats (as equipped).
The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the
system and the control buttons that will enable you to

Free Profile certified BluetoothŸ cellular phone. If your
cellular phone has a different profile (i.e. headset profile),
you will not be able to use any UConnectŸ features.

vehicle, including your vehicle's stereo system. All voice
prompts as well as the other party's voice in a conversa-
tion will be played over your vehicle's stereo system. The
volume of the UConnectŸ system can be controlled
