3 km/h, to objects moving a maxi-
mum of approximately 16 km/h, such
as in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation,
oncoming vehicles can be obscured
by vehicles parked on either side.
If the sensors are blocked by other
structures or vehicles, the system
will not be able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms,
including reducing the radio volume.WARNING!RCP is not a Back Up Aid system.
It is intended to be used to help a
driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must
be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check care-
fully behind your vehicle, look be-
hind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
MODES OF OPERATION
Three selectable modes of operation
are available in the Uconnect Touch™
System. Refer to “Uconnect Touch™
Settings” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
Blind Spot Alert
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side
view mirror based on a detected ob-
ject. However, when the system is op-
erating in RCP, the system will re-
spond with both visual and audible
alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio volume is reduced.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert
Lights/Chime mode, the BSM system
will provide a visual alert in the ap-
propriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is
then activated, and it corresponds to an alert present on that side of the
vehicle, an audible chime will also be
sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the
same side at the same time, both the
visual and audio alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the
radio (if on) volume will be reduced.
NOTE:
 Whenever an audible alert is
requested by the BSM system,
the radio volume is reduced.
 If the hazard flashers are on, the system will request the ap-
propriate visual alert only.
When the system is in RCP, the system
shall respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object
is present. Whenever an audible alert
is requested, the radio is also muted.
Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the
audible chime.

OPERATIONVoice commands can be used to oper-
ate the Uconnect™ Phone and to navi-
gate 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 mobile”.
2. Say the individual commands and
allow the system to guide you to com-
plete the task.
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 “Listen” prompt or an-
other prompt.
 For certain operations, compound commands can be used. For ex-
ample, instead of saying “Call” and
then “John Smith” and then “mo-
bile”, the following compound
command can be said: “Call John
Smith mobile”.  For each feature explanation in this
section, only the compound com-
mand form of the voice command is
given. You can also break the com-
mands into parts and say each part
of the command when you are
asked for it. For example, you can
use the compound command form
voice command “Search for John
Smith”, or you can break the com-
pound command form into two
voice commands: “Search Contact”
and when asked “John Smith”.
Please remember, the Uconnect™
Phone works best when you talk in
a normal conversational tone, as if
speaking to someone sitting a few
meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect™ Phone Voice system
uses a Natural Language Voice Rec-
ognition (VR) engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak
commands in phrases or complete sen-
tences. The system filters out certain
non-word utterances and sounds such
as “ah” and “eh”. The system handles
fill-in words such as “I would like to”.
The system handles multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence such as
“make a phone call” and “to Kelly
Smith”. For multiple inputs in the
same phrase or sentence, the system
identifies the topic or context and pro-
vides the associated follow-up prompt
such as “Who do you want to call?”
in the case where a phone call was
requested but the specific name was
not recognized.The system utilizes continuous dialog;
when the system requires more infor-
mation from the user it will ask a ques-
tion to which the user can respond
without pressing the Voice Command
button.
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.
76

NOTE:
 The towing assistance call mayalso be initiated by touch.
 Also, refer to your Warranty Booklet for the correct towing
assistance number for your area.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice
mail, refer to “Working with Auto-
mated Systems”.
Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances
where one generally has to press num-
bers on the mobile phone keypad
while navigating through an auto-
mated 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 customer service
line. Some services require immediate
response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the
Uconnect™ Phone. When calling a number with your
Uconnect™ Phone that normally re-
quires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your mobile phone key-
pad, you can utilize the touch-screen
or press the
button and say the
word “Send” then the sequence you
wish to enter. For example, if required
to enter your PIN followed with a
pound, (3 7 4 6 #), you can press the
button and say, “Send 3 7 4 6 #”.
Saying “Send” followed by a number,
or sequence of numbers, is also to be
used for navigating through an auto-
mated customer service center menu
structure, and to leave a number on a
pager.
You can also send stored mobile
phonebook entries as tones for fast
and easy access to voice mail and
pager entries. For example, if you pre-
viously created a Phonebook entry
with First and/or Last Name as
“Voicemail Password”, then if you
press the
button and say “Send
Voicemail Password” the Uconnect™ Phone will then send the correspond-
ing phone number associated with the
phonebook entry, as tones over the
phone.
NOTE:
 The first number encountered
for that contact will be sent. All
other numbers entered for that
contact will be ignored.
 You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone network
configurations. This is normal.
 Some paging and voice mail sys- tems have system time out set-
tings that are too short and may
not allow the use of this feature.
 Pauses, wait or other characters that are supported by some
phones are not supported over
Bluetooth®. These additional
symbols will be ignored in the
dialing a numbered sequence.

Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The
button can be used when
you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immedi-
ately. For example, if a prompt is ask-
ing “There are 2 numbers with the
name John. Say the full name” you
could press the
button and say,
“John Smith” to select that option
without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.
Voice Response Length
It is possible for you to choose between
Brief and Detailed Voice Response
Length.Touch the “More” soft-key (where
available), then touch the “Settings”
soft-key,Touch the “Display” soft-key, then
scroll down to Voice Response
Length, Select either “Brief” or “Detailed”
by touching the box next to the
selection. A check-mark will ap-
pear to show your selection. Phone And Network Status
Indicators
Uconnect™ Phone will provide noti-
fication 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 and
phone battery strength.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone
Keypad
WARNING!Your new vehicle has many features
for the comfort and convenience of
you and your passengers. Some of
these should not be used when driv-
ing because they take your eyes
from the road or your attention
from driving. Never dial using the
mobile phone keypad while driving.You can dial a phone number with your
mobile phone keypad and still use the
Uconnect™ Phone (while dialing via
the mobile phone keypad, the user
must exercise caution and take precau-
tionary 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 a command.
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 situa-
tion, 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 ON/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 simply touch the
Mute button on the Phone main screen.

tem may not always work for some. When navigating through an auto-
mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, before speak-
ing the digit string, make sure to
say “Send”.
 Storing names in your favorites phonebook when the vehicle is not
in motion is recommended.
