The Uconnect® Phone is driven through your
Bluetooth® “Hands-Free profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect® Phone features Bluetooth® technol-
ogy - 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
mobile phone (be it your purse, pocket, or brief-
case), as long as your phone is turned on and has
been paired to the vehicle’s Uconnect® Phone.
The Uconnect® Phone allows up to seven mobile
phones to be linked to the system. Only one
linked (or paired) mobile phone can be used with
the Uconnect® Phone at a time. The Uconnect®
Phone is available in English, Dutch, French,
German, Italian or Spanish languages (as
equipped).

used only in safe driving conditions following
all applicable laws. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the vehicle. Fail-
ure to do so may result in a collision causing
serious injury or death.Uconnect® Phone Button

section.
The Uconnect® Phone can be used with
Hands-Free Profile certified Bluetooth® mobile
phones. Some phones may not support all the
Uconnect® Phone features. Refer to your mo-
bile service provider or the phone manufacturer
for details. The Uconnect® Phone is fully integrated with
the vehicle’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, if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts
from the Uconnect® Phone such as CELL or
caller ID on certain radios.
Compatible Phones* The Uconnect® Phone requires a mobile
phone equipped with the Bluetooth® “Hands-
Free Profile”, version 1.0 or higher.
See
Uconnect® website for supported phones.

OperationVoice commands can be used to operate the
Uconnect® Phone and to navigate through the
Uconnect® Phone menu structure. Voice com-
mands 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 another prompt.
• For certain operations, compound com-
mands can be used. For example, instead of
saying “Setup” and then “Pair a Device”, the
following compound command can be said:
“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 remember, 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.
To activate the Uconnect® Phone from idle,
simply press the
button and follow the au-
dible prompts for directions. All Uconnect®
Phone sessions begin with a press of the
button on the radio control head.
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 (refer to “Compatible Phones”
section to learn about the phone type).
To complete the pairing process, you will need to
reference your mobile phone owner’s manual.
The Uconnect® website may also provide de-
tailed instructions for pairing.
The following are general phone to Uconnect®
Phone pairing instructions:
•
Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Setup Phone Pairing”.
• When prompted, after the beep, say “Pair a
Phone” and follow the audible prompts.
• You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal
Identification Number (PIN), which you will
later need to enter into your mobile phone.
You can enter any four-digit PIN. You will not
need to remember this PIN after the initial
pairing process.
74
•For identification purposes, you will be
prompted to give the Uconnect® Phone a
name for your mobile phone. Each mobile
phone that is paired should be given a unique
phone name.
• You will then be asked to give your mobile
phone a priority level between 1 and 7, with 1
being the highest priority. You can pair up to
seven mobile phones to your Uconnect®
Phone. However, at any given time, only one
mobile phone can be in use, connected to
your Uconnect® System. The priority allows
the Uconnect® Phone to know which mobile
phone to use if multiple mobile phones are in
the vehicle at the same time. For example, if
priority 3 and priority 5 phones are present in
the vehicle, the Uconnect® Phone will use
the priority 3 mobile phone when you make a
call. You can select to use a lower priority
mobile phone at any time (refer to “Advanced
Phone Connectivity”).
Dial By Saying A Number
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Dial.” •
The system will prompt you to say the num-
ber you want to call.

where John Doe is a previously stored name
entry in the Uconnect® Phonebook or down-
loaded phonebook. To learn how to store a
name in the phonebook , refer to “Add Names
to Your Uconnect® Phonebook”.
• The Uconnect® Phone will confirm the name
and then dial the corresponding phone num-
ber, which may appear in the display of
certain radios. Phonebook Download — Automatic
Phonebook Transfer From Mobile Phone
If equipped and specifically supported by your
phone, Uconnect® Phone automatically down-
loads names (text names) and number entries
from your mobile phone’s phonebook. Specific
Bluetooth® Phones with Phone Book Access
Profile may support this feature. See Uconnect®
website for supported phones.
•To call a name from downloaded (or
Uconnect®) Phonebook, follow the procedure
in “Call by Saying a Name” section.
•Automatic download and update, if supported,
begins as soon as the phone Bluetooth® wire-
less connection is made to the Uconnect®
Phone. For example, after you start the
vehicle.
•
Maximum of 1000 entries per phone will be
downloaded and updated every time a phone
is connected to the Uconnect® Phone.
• Depending on the maximum number of en-
tries downloaded, there may be a short delay
before the latest downloaded names can be
used. Until then, if available, the previously
downloaded phonebook is available for use.

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

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

system from confirming your choices (e.g., the
Uconnect® Phone will not repeat a phone num-
ber before you dial it).
• Press the

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.
