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.
