The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnectsystem such asCELLor caller ID on
certain radios.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect
system and to navigate through the UConnectmenu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnectsystem 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 theReadyprompt or another
prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of sayingSetupand then
Phone Pairing,the following compound command
can be said:Setup Phone Pairing.
•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-
mandPhonebook New Entry,or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
PhonebookandNew Entry.Please remember, the
UConnectsystem works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone
sitting a few feet/meters away from you.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, sayHelpfollowing
the beep. The UConnectsystem will play all the options
at any prompt if you ask for help.

•You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between 1 and 7, with 1 being the highest
priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to
your UConnectsystem. However, at any given time,
only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnectsystem. The priority allows the
UConnectsystem to know which cellular phone to
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
system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you
make a call. You can select to use a lower priority
cellular phone at any time (refer toAdvanced Phone
Connectivityin this section).
Dial by Saying a Number
•
Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After theReadyprompt and the following beep, say
Dial.
•The system will prompt you to say the number you
want to call.
•For example, you can say234-567-8901.The phone
number that you enter must be of valid length and
combination. Based on the country in which the ve-
hicle was purchased, the UConnectsystem limits the
user from dialing an invalid combination of numbers.
For example, in the U.S., 234-567-890 is nine digits
long, which is not a valid U.S. phone number - the
closest valid phone number has 10 digits.
•The UConnectsystem will confirm the phone num-
ber and then dial. The number will appear in the
display of certain radios.
Call by Saying a Name
•
Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After theReadyprompt and the following beep, say

ously stored name entry in the UConnectphonebook.
To learn how to store a name in the phonebook, refer

mended when the vehicle is not in motion.
•Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After theReadyprompt and the following beep, say
Phonebook New Entry.
•When prompted, say the name of the new entry. Use of
long names helps the voice recognition and it is
recommended. For example, sayRobert Smithor
Robertinstead ofBob.
•When prompted, enter the number designation (e.g.,
Home,Work,Mobile,orPager). This will allow
you to store multiple numbers for each phonebook
entry, if desired.
•When prompted, recite the phone number for the
phonebook entry that you are adding.
After you are finished adding an entry into the phone-
book, you will be given the opportunity to add more
phone numbers to the current entry or to return to the
main menu.

The UConnectsystem will allow you to enter up to 32
names in the phonebook with each name having up to
four associated phone numbers and designations. Each

only in that language.
Phonebook Download
UConnectallows the user to download entries from
their phone via Bluetooth. To use this feature, press the
PHONE button and say “Phonebook Download.” The
system prompts, “Ready to accept “V” card entry via

Owner’s Manual for specific instructions on how to send
these entries from your phone.
NOTE:
•The phone handset must support BluetoothOBEX
transfers of phonebook entries to use this feature.
•Some phones cannot send phonebook entries if they
are already connected to any system via Bluetooth,
and you may see a message on the phone display that
the Bluetoothlink is busy. In this case, the user must
first disconnect or drop the Bluetoothconnection to
the UConnectsystem, and then send the address
book entry via Bluetooth. Please see your phone
owner ’s manual for specific instructions on how to
drop the Bluetoothconnection.
•If the phonebook entry is longer than 24 characters, it
will only use the first 24 characters.

Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g., the UConnectsys-
tem will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).
•Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After theReadyprompt and the following beep, say
Setup Confirmations.The UConnectsystem 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 UConnectsystem 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 UConnectsystem (while dial-
ing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetoothcellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The UConnectsystem 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 UConnectsystem 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.

WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are training the Universal Transceiver. Do
not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver
with a garage door opener that has a “stop and
reverse” feature as required by federal safety stan-
dards. This includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door
opener without these safety features. Call toll-free
1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at
www.HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
WARNING!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger-
ous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while
training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
