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.

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's 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 far end can sometimes be reduced by lowering the in-
vehicle audio volume.
In a convertible vehicle, system per- formance may be compromised
with the convertible top down.
SMS
Uconnect™ Phone can read or send
new messages on your phone.Your phone must support SMS over
Bluetooth® in order to use this feature.
If the Uconnect™ Phone determines
your phone is not compatible with SMS messaging over Bluetooth® the “Mes-
saging” button will be greyed out and
the feature will not be available for use.
NOTE: Uconnect™ Phone SMS
is only available when the vehicle
is not in moving.
Read Messages:
If you receive a new text message
while your phone is connected to
Uconnect™ Phone, an announcement
will be made to notify you that you
have a new text message.

recognize one of your commands, you
will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear available commands, press
the Uconnect™ Voice Command
button and say “Help”. You will

Natural Speech
Natural speech allows the user to
speak commands in phrases or com-
plete sentences. 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 re-
quested 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 Uconnect™ Voice
Command
button.

CAUTION!
ParkSense® is only a parking aidand it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not de-
tected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will
not be detected when they are in
close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly
when using ParkSense® in order
to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. When back-
ing up, it is recommended that the
driver looks over his/her shoulder
when using ParkSense®.WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using the
ParkSense® Park Assist system.
Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, look behind you,
and be sure to check for pedestri-
ans, animals, other vehicles, ob-
structions, and blind spots before
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
backing up. You are responsible
for safety and must continue to
pay attention to your surround-
ings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
Before using the ParkSense® Park Assist system, it is strongly
recommended that the ball
mount and hitch ball assembly is
disconnected from the vehicle
when the vehicle is not used for
towing. Failure to do so can result
in injury or damage to vehicles or
obstacles because the hitch ball
will be much closer to the obstacle
than the rear fascia when the
warning display turns on the
single flashing arc and sounds the
continuous tone. Also, the sensors
could detect the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly, depending on
its size and shape, giving a false
indication that an obstacle is be-
hind the vehicle. PARKVIEW® REAR
BACK UP CAMERA
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ParkView® Rear Back Up Cam-
era that allows you to see an on-screen
image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle whenever the shift lever
is put into REVERSE. The image will
be displayed on the radio touchscreen
display along with a caution note to
“check entire surroundings” across
the top of the screen. After five sec-
onds this note will disappear. The
ParkView® camera is located on the
rear of the vehicle above the rear
License plate.
When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE, the rear camera mode is
exited and the navigation or audio
screen appears again.
