The UConnect™system is fully integrated with the
vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect™
system can either be adjusted from the radio volume
control knob, or from the steering wheel radio control
(right switch), if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect™system such asCELLor caller ID on
certain radios.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect™
system and to navigate through the UConnect™menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect™system prompts. 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 voice on beep, which follows theReadyprompt
or another prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of sayingSetupand then
Phone Pairing,the following compound command
can be said:Setup Phone Pairing.
•For each of the feature explanation in this section, only
the combined 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 either use the combined form
voice commandPhonebook New Entry,or you can
break the combined form command into two voice
commands:PhonebookandNew Entry.Please re-
member, the UConnect™system works best when you
talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to
some one sitting eight feet away from you.
