knob or from the steering wheel radio control (right
switch), if so equipped.
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. There are two general meth-
ods for how Voice Command works:
1. Say compound commands like “Call John Smith mo-
bile”.
2. Say the individual commands and allow the system to
guide you to complete the task.
You will be prompted for a specific command and then
guided through the available options.

incoming call, you will hear the same network tones for

vehicle audio system, if on, and will display a pop-up
showing Answer, Ignore or Transfer. Press the
button
to place the current call on hold and answer the incoming
call.
NOTE: The Uconnect™ Phone compatible phones in the
