voice mail, or when sending a page, before speaking the
digit string, make sure to say “Send.”

your favorites phonebook while the vehicle is in motion. Phonebook (Mobile and Favorites) name recognition rate

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 performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.

your phone.
Your phone must support SMS over Bluetooth® to use
this feature. If the Uconnect® Phone determines your
phone is not compatible with SMS messaging over
Bluetooth® the “Messaging” button will be grayed out
and the feature will not be available for use.NOTE:
