a separate 32-name phonebook accessible only in that
language. This system is driven through your Bluetooth t
ªHands-Free profileº cellular phone. UConnect t features
Bluetooth t technology - the global standard that enables
different electronic devices to connect to each other
without wires or a docking station, so UConnect t works
no matter where you stow your cellular phone (be it your
purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is
turned on and has been paired to the vehicle's
UConnect t system. The UConnect t system allows up to
seven cellular phones to be linked to the 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.
Phone Button
The rearview mirror contains the microphone
for the system (depending on the type of
mirror and radio equipped), and either the radio or the mirror has the two control buttons (PHONE
Button and VOICE RECOGNITION button) that will
enable you to access the system.
Voice Recognition Button
Actual button location may vary with radio.
The individual buttons are described in the
ªOperationº section.
The UConnect t system can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth t cellular phone. See the
UConnect t website for supported phones. If your cellu-
lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnect t
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.
The UConnect t system is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle's audio system. The volume of the UConnect t system90 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
