ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
uconnect™ is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange of
information with the electronic control unit (Body

This guarantees maximum safety and prevents the
secret code from being entered after the power
supply has been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the system will
start to function, whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the system will ask the
user to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the paragraph below.Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the code is
requested, the display will show "Please enter Anti-
Theft Code" followed by the video page showing a
keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits, from 1 to
9: to insert the first number of the code press the
corresponding key on the display. Enter the other
code digits in the same way.
After entering the fourth figure,uconnect™ begins
operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Please Try Again" to notify the user
of the need to enter the correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter the code, the
system displays "Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Please
wait 30 minutes": the waiting time is displayed. Once
the text has disappeared you can start the code
entering procedure again.

VOICE COMMANDSUSE OF THE VOICE COMMANDS
Please follow the suggestions below to be sure that
the voice commands are always recognised by the
system:
❒speak at a normal volume;
❒always wait for the "beep" before speaking;

commands given, irrespective of gender, by the
tone of voice and intonation of the person giving
the instructions;
❒if possible, try and keep the noise in the passenger
compartment to a minimum;
❒before giving voice commands, ask other
passengers not to talk. This is to prevent
misunderstanding since the system may recognise
other words (in addition to or different from your
voice command) if several people are speaking;

windows and the sun roof (for versions/markets,
where provided) to avoid external interference.
