NOTE:The Uconnect Phone requires a mobile phone
equipped with the Bluetooth “Hands-Free Profile”, Ver-
sion 0.96 or higher. See the Uconnect website for sup-
ported phones.
For Uconnect customer support, visit
www.UconnectPhone.com.
Uconnect Phone allows you to transfer calls between the
system and your mobile phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle and enables you to mute the system’s microphone
for private conversation.
Uconnect features Bluetooth technology - the global
standard that enables different electronic devices to con-
nect to each other without wires or a docking station, so
Uconnect Phone works no matter where you stow your
mobile 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 UconnectPhone
allows up to seven mobile phones to be linked to the system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile phone can be
used with the system at a time. The system is available in
English, Spanish, or French languages.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following local laws and
phone use. All attention should be focused on the
safe operation of the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in a collision causing serious injury or death.
Uconnect Phone Button
The steering wheel controls will contain the
two control buttons (Uconnect Phone
button and Voice Commandbutton) that
will enable you to access the system. When you
press the Uconnect Phone
button you will hear a
BEEP. The beep is your signal to give a command.

Voice Command ButtonWhen you press the Voice Command
button you will hear a BEEP. The beep is your
signal to give a command.
The Uconnect Phone can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth mobile phone. See the
Uconnect website for supported phones. Refer to your
mobile service provider or the phone manufacturer for
details.
The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle’s audio system. The volume of the Uconnect Phone
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 Phone such as “Phone” or caller ID.
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.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying “Setup”, “Device
Pairing” and then “Pair a Device”, the following
compound command can be said: “Setup”, “Device
Pairing” and “Pair a Bluetooth Device”.
•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 UconnectPhone 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 then play some of
the options.
To activate the Uconnect Phone, simply press the
button and follow the audible prompts for directions.
UconnectPhone sessions begin with a press of the
button on the steering wheel.
Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say “Cancel” and
you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a
few instances the system will take you back to the
previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect Phone To A Mobile Phone
To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must pair
your compatible Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your mobile phone Owner’s Manual. The
Uconnect website may also provide detailed instruc-
tions for pairing.
NOTE: If other phones are present during the pairing
process make sure they are switched to off or the
bluetooth is disabled before proceeding.

Touch the “Driver” or “Passenger” seat soft-key once to
select HI-level heating. Touch the soft-key a second time
to select LO-level heating. Touch the soft-key a third time
to shut the heating elements OFF.
NOTE:Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt
within two to five minutes. When the HI-level setting is selected, the heater will
provide a boosted heat level during the first four minutes
of operation. Then, the heat output will drop to the
normal HI-level. If the HI-level setting is selected, the
system will automatically switch to LO-level after a
maximum of 60 minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the display will change from HI to LO, indicating
the change. The LO-level setting will turn OFF automati-
cally after a maximum of 45 minutes.
Vehicle Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the
driver ’s heated seat and heated steering wheel can be
programmed to come on during a remote start. Refer to
“Remote Starting System — If Equipped” in “Things To

Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever controls the operation of the turn
signals, headlight beam selection and passing lights. The
multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows
on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
•If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is
a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light
bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
•A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the EVIC
(if equipped) and a continuous chime will sound if the
vehicle is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either
turn signal on.
Lane Change Assist
