Call continuation is the progression of a phone
call on the Uconnect® Phone after the vehicle
ignition has been switched to OFF. Call continu-
ation functionality available on the vehicle can
be any one of three types:
•
After the ignition is switched to OFF, a call
can continue on the Uconnect® Phone either
until the call ends, or until the vehicle battery
condition dictates cessation of the call on the
Uconnect® Phone and transfer of the call to
the mobile phone.
• After the ignition is cycled to OFF, a call can
continue on the Uconnect® Phone for a
certain duration, after which the call is auto-
matically transferred from the Uconnect®
Phone to the mobile phone.
• An active call is automatically transferred to
the mobile phone after the ignition is cycled
to OFF.

Emergency Assistance — If Equipped
If you are in an emergency and the mobile
phone is reachable:
•
Pick up the phone and manually dial the emer-
gency number for your area.
If the phone is not reachable and the Uconnect®
Phone is operational, you may reach the emer-
gency number as follows:
• Press thebutton to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Emergency” and the Uconnect®
Phone will instruct the paired mobile phone
to call the emergency number.
NOTE:
• The default number is 112. The number
dialed may not be applicable with the
available mobile service and area.
• If supported, this number may be pro-
grammable on some systems. To do this,
press the
button and say “Setup”, fol-
lowed by “Emergency”. •
The Uconnect® Phone does slightly lower
your chances of successfully making a
phone call as to that for the mobile phone
directly.
WARNING!
To use you Uconnect® Phone System in
an emergency, your mobile phone must be:
•turned on,
• paired to the Uconnect® System,
• and have network coverage.
Breakdown Service — If Equipped
If you need Breakdown service:
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Breakdown service”.
NOTE:
The Breakdown service number has to be
setup before using. To setup, press the
button and say “Setup, Breakdown Ser-
vice” and follow prompts. Paging
To learn how to page, refer to “Working with
Automated Systems”. Paging works properly
except for pagers of certain companies, which
time out a little too soon to work properly with
the Uconnect® Phone.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to
“Working with Automated Systems”.
Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one
generally has to press numbers on the mobile
phone keypad while navigating through an au-
tomated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect® Phone to access
a voice mail system or an automated service,
such as a paging service or automated cus-
tomer service. Some services require immedi-
ate response selection. In some instances, that
may be too quick for use of the Uconnect®
Phone.
80

When calling a number with your Uconnect®
Phone that normally requires you to enter in a
touch-tone sequence on your mobile phone
keypad, you can press the
button and say
the sequence you wish to enter followed by the
word “Send”. For example, if required to enter
your PIN followed with a hash, (3746#),you
can press the
button and say, “3746#
Send”. Saying a number, or sequence of num-
bers, followed by “Send”, is also to be used for
navigating through an automated customer ser-
vice center menu structure, and to leave a
number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect® Phone-
book entries as tones for fast and easy access
to voice mail and pager entries. To use this
feature, dial the number you wish to call and
then press the
button and say “Send.” The
system will prompt you to enter the name or
number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The Uconnect® Phone
will then send the corresponding phone number
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 to
pair a phone, clear a…,” you could press 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
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system from confirming your choices (e.g., the
Uconnect® Phone will not repeat a phone num-
ber before you dial it).
• Press the
button to begin. •
After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say:
• “Setup Confirmations Prompts On”
• “Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
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 key-
pad, the user must exercise caution and take
precautionary safety measures). By dialing a
number with your paired Bluetooth® mobile
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.
81

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
even though the call is in progress. Once
your call is answered, you will hear the
audio.
Mute/Un-Mute (Mute Off)
When you mute the Uconnect® Phone, you will
still be able to hear the conversation coming
from the other party, but the other party will not
be able to hear you. In order to mute the
Uconnect® Phone:
•Press the
button.
• Following the beep, say “Mute”.
In order to un-mute the Uconnect® Phone:
• Press the
button.
• Following the beep, say “Mute off”.
Advanced Phone Connectivity

83

Voice Command
•For best performance, adjust the rearview
mirror to provide at least ½ in (1 cm) gap
between the overhead console (if equipped)
and the mirror.
• Always wait for the beep before speaking.
• Speak normally, without pausing, just as you
would speak to a person sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
• Make sure that no one other than you is
speaking during a voice period.
• Performance is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions.
• Even though the system is designed for
users speaking in European English, Dutch,
French, German, Italian, or Spanish accents,
the system may not always work for some. •
When navigating through an automated sys-
tem such as voice mail, or when sending a
page, at the end of speaking the digit string,
make sure to say “Send”.
• Storing names in the phonebook when the
vehicle is not in motion is recommended.
• It is not recommended to store similar sound-
ing names in the Uconnect® Phonebook.
• Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect®
Phone Local) recognition rate is optimized
when the entries are not similar.
• Numbers must be spoken in single digits.
“800” must be spoken “eight-zero-zero” not
“eight hundred”.
• You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).
• Even though international dialing for most
number combinations is supported, some
shortcut dialing number combinations may
not be supported.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down. Phone Far End Audio Performance
•
Audio quality is maximized under:
• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather conditions, and
• operation from the driver seat.
• Performance, such as audio clarity, echo,
and loudness to a large degree rely on the
phone and network, and not the Uconnect®
Phone.
• Echo at the phone far end can sometimes be
reduced by lowering the in-vehicle audio
volume.
• In a convertible vehicle, system performance
may be compromised with the convertible top
down.
