Voice Training
For users experiencing difficulty with
the Uconnect™ Phone recognizing
their voice commands or numbers,
the Uconnect™ Phone Voice Training
feature may be used. To enter this
training mode, follow one of the two
following procedures:
From outside the Uconnect™ Phone
mode (e.g., from radio mode)
Press and hold the
button for
five seconds until the session be-
gins, or,
Press the
button and say the
“Voice Training”, “System Train-
ing”, “Start Voice Training”com-
mand.
Repeat the words and phrases when
prompted by the Uconnect™ Phone.
For best results, the Voice Training
session should be completed when the
vehicle is parked with the engine run-
ning, all windows closed, and the
blower fan switched OFF.
This procedure may be repeated with
a new user. The system will adapt to
the last trained voice only. To restore the Voice Command system
to factory default settings, enter the
Voice Training session via the above
procedure and follow the prompts.
Reset
Press the
button.
After the “Ready” prompt, and the following beep, say “Setup”, then
“Reset”.
This will delete all phone pairing,
phone book entries, and other settings
in all language modes. The System
will prompt you before resetting to
factory settings.
Voice Command
For best performance, adjust the rearview mirror to provide at least
½ in (1 cm) gap between the over-
head 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 sys-
tem may not always work for some.
When navigating through an auto- mated system 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
sounding names in the Uconnect™
Phonebook.

VOICE COMMAND SYSTEM
OPERATION
This Voice Command system
allows you to control your
AM, FM radio, disc player,
and a memo recorder.
NOTE: Take care to speak into
the Voice Interface System as
calmly and normally as possible.
The ability of the Voice Interface
System to recognize user voice
commands may be negatively af-
fected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following all applicable
laws. All attention should be kept
on the roadway ahead. Failure to
do so may result in a collision caus-
ing serious injury or death.

When you press the Voice Command
button, you will hear a beep. The
beep is your signal to give a com-
mand.
NOTE: If you do not say a com-
mand within a few seconds, the
system will present you with a list
of options.
If you ever wish to interrupt the sys-
tem while it lists options, press the
Voice Command
button, listen
for the beep, and say your command.
Pressing the Voice Command
button while the system is
speaking is known as “barging in.”
The system will be interrupted, and
after the beep, you can add or change
commands. This will become helpful
once you start to learn the options.
NOTE:
At any time, you can say
the words “Cancel”, “Help” or
“Main Menu”.
These commands are universal and
can be used from any menu. All other
commands can be used depending
upon the active application. When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing volume.
The system will best recognize your
speech if the windows are closed, and
the heater/air conditioning fan is set
to low.
At any point, if the system does not
recognize one of your commands, you
will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear the first available Menu, press
the Voice Command
button and
say “Help” or “Main Menu”.
