HANDS–FREE COMMUNICATION (UConnect™)—
IF EQUIPPED
UConnect™is a voice-activated, hands-free, in vehicle
communications system. UConnect™allows you to dial
a phone number with your cellular phone* using simple
voice commands (e.g.,CallMikeWorkorDial
248-555-1212). Your cellular phone’s audio is transmitted
through your vehicle’s audio system; the system will
automatically mute your radio when using the UCon-
nect™system.
NOTE:The UConnect™system use requires a cellular
phone equipped with the BluetoothHands-Free Profile,
version 0.96 or higher.
For UConnect Customer Support call 1-877-855-8400
or visit the UConnect website (www.chrysler.com/
uconnect).
UConnect™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 conversation.The UConnect™phonebook enables you to store up to 32
names and four numbers per name. This system is driven
through your Bluetooth™Hands-Free profile cellular
phone. UConnect™features Bluetooth™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 UConnect™system. The UCon-
nect™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 theOperationsection.

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 UConnect™system can be used with any Hands-
Free Profile certified Bluetooth™cellular phone. If your
cellular phone supports a different profile (eg., Headset
Profile), you may not be able to use any UConnect™
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.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.Uconnect Buttons

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.

To begin using your UConnect™system, you must pair
your compatible Bluetooth™enabled cellular phone (re-
fer toIntroductionsection to learn about the phone
type). To complete the pairing process, you will need to
reference your cellular phone owner’s manual. One of the
following vehicle specific websites may also provide
detailed instructions for pairing with the brand of phone

The following are general phone to UConnect™System
pairing instructions:
•Press the’Phone’button to begin.
•After theReadyprompt and the following beep, say
Setup Phone Pairing.
•When prompted, after the voice on beep, sayPair a
Phone.
•You will be asked to say a four-digit pin number which
you will later need to enter into your cellular. You can
enter any four-digit pin number. You will not need to
remember this pin number after the initial pairing
process.
•The UConnect™system will then prompt you to begin
the cellular phone pairing process on your cellular
phone. Before attempting to pair phone, please see
your cellular phone’s user manual (Bluetooth section)
for instructions on how to complete this step.
•For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnect™system a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
•You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between 1 and 7, 1 being the highest
priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to
your UConnect™system. However, at any given time,
only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnect™System. The priority allows the
UConnect™system to know which cellular phone to
use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the
same time. For example, if priority 3 and priority 5
phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnect™
system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you
make a call. You can select to use a lower priority
cellular phone at any time (refer toAdvanced Phone
Connectivitysection).

dialing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth™cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The UConnect™system will work the
same as if you dial the number using voice recognition.

the dial ring to the UConnect™system to play it on the
vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this
situation, after successfully dialing a number, the user
