used for navigating through an automated cus-
tomer service center menu structure, and to

will then send the corresponding phone num-
ber associated with the phonebook entry, as
tones over the phone.
NOTE:
• You may not hear all of the tones due to
mobile phone network configurations;
this is normal.
• Some paging and voice mail systems
have system time out settings that are too
short and may not allow the use of this
feature. Barge In - Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Command” button can be used
when you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immediately. For
example, if a prompt is asking “Would you like

the
button and say, “Pair a Phone” to
select that option without having to listen to the
rest of the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off

system from confirming your choices (e.g., the
Uconnect™ Phone will not repeat a phone
number before you dial it).
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Setup Confirmations”. The
Uconnect™ Phone will play the current con-
firmation prompt status and you will be given

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 mobile phone, the Uconnect™ Phone will provide notification to
inform you of your phone and network status
when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect™ Phone. The status is given
for network signal strength, phone battery
strength, etc.
Dialing Using the Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile
phone keypad and still use the Uconnect™
Phone (while dialing via the mobile phone
keypad, the user must exercise caution and
take precautionary safety measures). By dial-
ing a number with your paired Bluetooth
mo-
bile phone, the audio will be played through
your vehicle’s audio system. The Uconnect™
Phone will work the same as if you dial the
number using Voice Command.
NOTE:
Certain brands of mobile phones do not
send the dial ring to the Uconnect™ Phone
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

proximately 2.5 in (60 mm), if the starting
position of the seat is greater than or equal to
2.67 in (68 mm) forward of the rear seat stop

0.3 in (8 mm) forward of the rear stop if the
starting position is between 0.9 to 2.67 in (23
to 68 mm) forward of the rear stop when the
key is removed from the ignition switch. The
seat will move forward to the memory/driving
position when the key is placed into the
ignition, and turned out of the LOCK position
toward the ACC/ON position.
The Easy Entry/Exit feature will be automatically
disabled if the seat is already positioned closer
than 0.9 in (23 mm) forward of the rear stop. At
this position, there is no benefit to the driver by
moving the seat for Easy Exit/Entry.
