instead of  Bob.

 Home,  Work,  Mobile,  or  Pager  ). This will allow
you to store multiple numbers for each phonebook

Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g. the UConnect ™ sys-
tem will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).
• Press the ’ Phone ’ button to begin.
• After the  Ready  prompt and the following beep, say
 Setup Confirmations.  The UConnect ™ system will
play the current confirmation prompt status and you
will be given the choice to change it.
Phone and Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium display
such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by
your cell phone, the UConnect ™ system will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnect ™ . The status is given for roaming net-
work signal strength, phone battery strength, etc. Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone
keypad and still use the UConnect ™ 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 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.
NOTE: Certain brands of mobile phones do not send 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
may 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.108 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
