The UConnectŸ phonebook 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 technology - the
global standard that enables different electronic devices
to connect to each other without wires or a docking
station, so UConnect works no matter where you stow
your cellular phone (be it your purse, pocket, or brief-
case), as long as your phone is turned on and has been
paired to the vehicle's UConnectŸ system. The UCon-
nectŸ system allows up to seven cellular phones to be
linked to system. Only one linked (or paired) cellular
phone can be used with the system at a time. The system
is available in English, Spanish, or French languages (as
equipped).
The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the
system and the control buttons that will enable you to
access the system. The diagram below shows the mirror
with the appropriate buttons. Individual button behavior
is discussed in the9Operation9section.NOTE:For the best performance of the hands-free
system's audio and voice recognition adjust the rear view
mirror to provide at least a 1/2 inch gap (1 cm) between
the overhead console and the mirror.
The UConnectŸ system can be used with any Hands-
Free Profile certified BluetoothŸ cellular phone. If your
cellular phone supports a different profile (eg., Headset
Profile), you may not be able to use any UConnectŸ
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.

one generally has to press numbers on the cellular phone
keypad while navigating through an automated tele-
phony system.
You can use your UConnectŸ 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 UConnectŸ system.

sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can push
the 'Voice Recognition' button and say the sequence you
wish to enter followed by the word9Send.9For example,

Phone and Network Status Indicators
The UConnectŸ system will provide notification to
inform you if your cellular phone is in roaming status,
has low signal strength, or has a low battery when you
are trying to place a phone call.
Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone
keypad and still use the UConnectŸ system (while
dialing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired BluetoothŸ cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle's
audio system. The UConnectŸ system will work the
same as if you dial the number using voice recognition.
NOTE:Certain brands of mobile phones do not send
the dial ring to the UConnectŸ system to play it on the
vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this
situation, after successfully dialing a number, the usermay feel that the call did not go through even though the
call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.
