give the UConnect™system a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.

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

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™
