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 be adjusted either 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 as\4CELL\4or 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 beep, which follows the\4Ready\4prompt or another
prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying\4Setup\4and then
\4Phone Pairing,\4the following compound command
can be said:\4Setup Phone Pairing.\4
•For each 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 use the combined form voice com-
mand\4Phonebook New Entry,\4or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
\4Phonebook\4and\4New Entry.\4Please remember, 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.

call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.
