of ending calls as well.
Voice Command (VR) User TIPs
• To hear available commands, press the Uconnect® Voice Command button and say “Help.” You will hear available commands for the menu displayed.
• At any time, you can say the words “Cancel” or “Help”. These commands are universal and can be used from virtually any menu. All other specific commands can be used
depending upon the active application.
• You can interrupt the system prompts at any time by pressing the Uconnect® Voice Command button while the system is speaking. After the beep, you can say a command.
• You can chain commands together for faster results. Say “Call Joe Doe mobile,” for example.
• For best performance, adjust the rearview mirror to provide at least ½inch (1 cm) gap
between the overhead 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 Command period.
Steering Wheel Buttons
• You can control many of your radio fea- tures using your voice. Press either the VR
or Phone Pick Upbutton on

NOTE:
• When connecting your iPod® device for the first time, the system may take severalminutes to read your music, depending on the number of files. For example, the system
will take approximately five minutes for every 1000 songs loaded on the device. Also
during the reading process, the Shuffle and Browse functions will be disabled. This
process is needed to ensure the full use of your iPod® features and only happens the first
time it is connected. After the first time, the reading process of your iPod® will take
considerably less time unless changes are made or new songs are added to the playlist.
• The USB port supports certain Mini, Classic, Nano, Touch, and iPhone® devices. The USB port also supports playing music from compatible external USB Mass Storage Class
memory devices. Some iPod® software versions may not fully support the USB port
features. Please visit Apple’s website for iPod® software updates.
SD Card
• Play songs stored on an SD card inserted into the SD card slot.
• Song playback can be controlled using the radio or Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip to the next or previous track, browse, and list the contents.
Bluetooth® Streaming Audio
• If equipped with Uconnect® Voice Command, your Bluetooth®-equipped iPod® devices, cell phones or other media players, may also be able to stream music to your vehicle's
sound system. Your connected device must be Bluetooth®-compatible, and paired with
your system (see Uconnect® Phone for pairing instructions). You can access the music
from your connected Bluetooth® device by touching the Bluetooth® soft-key while in
Media mode.
