Bluetoothtechnology - the global standard that enables
different electronic devices to connect to each other

one linked (or paired) cellular phone can be used with the
system at a time. The system is available in English,

certain companies, which time out a little too soon to

to press numbers on the cellular phone keypad while
navigating through an automated telephone system.
You can use your UConnectsystem to access a voice
mail system or an automated service, such as a paging
service or automated customer service line. Some ser-
vices require immediate response selection. In some
instances, that may be too quick for use of the UConnect
system.
When calling a number with your UConnectsystem
that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can press
the “Voice Recognition” button and say the sequence you
wish to enter, followed by the wordSend.For example,
if required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7
4 6 #), you can press the “Voice Recognition” button and
say,3746#Send.Saying a number, or sequence of
