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)

The UConnect system can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth cellular phone. See the
UConnect website for supported phones. If your cellu-
lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnect

phone manufacturer for details. The UConnect
system is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect system
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 UConnect system such as CELLor caller ID on

structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect system prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.

the beep, which follows the Readyprompt or another
