If the phone is not reachable and the uconnectphone is
operational, you may reach the emergency number as
follows:
•Press the PHONE button to begin.
•After the Readyprompt and the following beep, say
Emergency and the uconnect phone will instruct
the paired cellular phone to call the emergency num-
ber. This feature is supported in the U.S., Canada, and
Mexico.
NOTE:
•The emergency number dialed is based on the country
where the vehicle is purchased (911 for the U.S. and
Canada and 060 for Mexico). The number dialed may
not be applicable with the available cellular service
and area.
•If supported, this number may be programmable on
some systems. To do this, press the PHONE button
and say ‘Setup’, followed by ‘Emergency’.
•The uconnect phone does slightly lower your chances
of successfully making a phone call as to that for the
cell phone directly.
WARNING!
Your phone must be turned on and paired to the
uconnect phone to allow use of this vehicle feature
in emergency situations, when the cell phone has
network coverage and stays paired to the uconnect
phone.
