Pair (Link) UConnectSystem to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your UConnectsystem, you must pair
your compatible Bluetoothenabled cellular phone.
To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your cellular phone owner’s manual. The
UConnectwebsite may also provide detailed instruc-
tions for pairing.The following are general phone to UConnectsystem
pairing instructions:
•Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After theReadyprompt and the following beep, say
Setup Phone Pairing.
•When prompted, after the beep, sayPair a Phoneand
follow the audible prompts.
•You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Identi-
fication Number (PIN), which you will later need to
enter into your cellular phone. You can enter any
four-digit PIN number. You will not need to remember
this PIN number after the initial pairing process.
•For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnectsystem a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.

•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

ously stored name entry in the UConnectphonebook.

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

Home,Work,Mobile,orPager). This will allow
you to store multiple numbers for each phonebook
entry, if desired.

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

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.

listening to FM radio, you can speak commands from the
disc menu or from the FM radio menu.When using this system, you should speak clearly and at
a normal speaking volume.
The system will best recognize your speech if the win-
