Uconnect™ Phone — IF EQUIPPED
Uconnect™ Phone is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-
vehicle communications system. Uconnect™ Phone al-
lows you to dial a phone number with your cellular
phone using simple voice commands (e.g., “Call” 
“Mike”  “Work” or “Dial”  “248-555-1212”). Your
cellular phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehi-
cle’s audio system; the system will automatically mute
your radio when using the Uconnect™ Phone.
NOTE: The Uconnect™ Phone requires a cellular phone
equipped with the Bluetooth  “Hands-Free Profile”, Ver-
sion 0.96 or higher. See the Uconnect™ website for

“Hands-Free Profile” cellular phone. Uconnect™ features
Bluetooth  technology - the global standard that enables
different electronic devices to connect to each other with-
out wires or a docking station, so Uconnect™ Phone
works 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
Uconnect™ Phone. The Uconnect™ Phone allows up to

Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the Uconnect™
Phone and to navigate through the Uconnect™ Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are required after most
Uconnect™ Phone prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.
• Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the beep, which follows the “Ready” prompt or an-
other prompt.
• For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying “Setup” and then
“Phone Pairing”, the following compound command
can be said: “Setup Phone Pairing.”
• For each feature explanation in this section, only the
compound 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 compound form voice
command “Phonebook New Entry”, or you can break
the compound form command into two voice com-
mands: “Phonebook” and “New Entry”. Please re-
member, the Uconnect™ Phone works best when you
talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to
someone sitting a few feet/meters away from you.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say “Help” following
the beep. The Uconnect™ Phone will play all the options
at any prompt if you ask for help.

the button and follow the audible prompts for
directions. All Uconnect™ Phone sessions begin with a
press of the button on the radio control head.90 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect™ Phone to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your Uconnect™ Phone, you must pair
your compatible Bluetooth  enabled cellular phone.

fication Number (PIN), which you will later need to

four-digit PIN. You will not need to remember this PIN
after the initial pairing process.
• For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the Uconnect™ Phone a name for your cellular

priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular
phones to your Uconnect™ Phone. However, at any
given time, only one cellular phone can be in use,
connected to your Uconnect™ System. The priority
