16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

5. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved
back as far as practical to allow the airbag room to inflate.
6. If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean against
the door or window, airbags will inflate forcefully into
the space between you and the door.
7. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the
Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided in the9If
You Need Customer Assistance9section later in this
owner's manual.WARNING!
²Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions the airbags won't deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belts even though you have
airbags.
²Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel during airbag deployment could cause seri-
ous injury. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back,
comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
²If the vehicle has window bags, they also need
room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or
window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.

The UConnecttphonebook enables you to store up to 32
names, with four numbers per name. Each language has
a separate 32-name phonebook accessible only in that
language. This system is driven through your Bluetootht
ªHands-Free profileº cellular phone. UConnecttfeatures
Bluetoothttechnology - the global standard that enables
different electronic devices to connect to each other
without wires or a docking station, so UConnecttworks
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
UConnecttsystem. The UConnecttsystem 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 UConnecttsystem can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetoothtcellular phone. See the
UConnecttwebsite for supported phones. If your cellu-
lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnectt
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.

The UConnecttsystem is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle's audio system. The volume of the UConnecttsystem
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 UConnecttsystem such as9CELL9or caller ID on
certain radios.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnectt
system and to navigate through the UConnecttmenu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnecttsystem prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.
²Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the beep, which follows the9Ready9prompt or another
prompt.
²For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying9Setup9and then
9Phone Pairing,9the following compound command
can be said:9Setup Phone Pairing.9
²For 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-
mand9Phonebook New Entry,9or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
9Phonebook9and9New Entry.9Please remember, the
UConnecttsystem works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone
sitting a few feet/meters away from you.

Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say9Help9following
the beep. The UConnecttsystem will play all the options
at any prompt if you ask for help.
To activate the UConnecttsystem from idle, simply press
the PHONE button and follow the audible prompts for
directions. All UConnecttsystem sessions begin with a
press of the PHONE button on the radio control head.
Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say9Cancel9and
you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a
few instances the system will take you back to the
previous menu.
Pair (Link) UConnecttSystem to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your UConnecttsystem, you must pair
your compatible Bluetoothtenabled cellular phone.To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your cellular phone Owner's Manual. The
UConnecttwebsite may also provide detailed instruc-
tions for pairing.
The following are general phone to UConnecttsystem
pairing instructions:
²Press the PHONE button to begin.
²After the9Ready9prompt and the following beep, say
9Setup Phone Pairing.9
²When prompted, after the beep, say9Pair a Phone9and
follow the audible prompts.
²You 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. You will not need to remember this PIN
after the initial pairing process.
94 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

²For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnecttsystem a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
²You 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 UConnecttsystem. However, at any given time,
only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnecttsystem. The priority allows the
UConnecttsystem 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 UConnectt
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 to9Advanced Phone
Connectivity9in this section).
Dial by Saying a Number
²
Press the PHONE button to begin.
²After the9Ready9prompt and the following beep, say
9Dial.9
²The system will prompt you to say the number you
want to call.
²For example, you can say9234-567-8901.9The phone
number that you enter must be of valid length and
combination. Based on the country in which the ve-
hicle was purchased, the UConnecttsystem 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.
²The UConnecttsystem will confirm the phone num-
ber and then dial. The number will appear in the
display of certain radios.
