VOICE COMMAND QUICK REFERENCE
Uconnect® 8.4A Voice Command Quick Reference
• If the Uconnect®Voice Commandbutton exists on your steering wheel,
you have the Voice Command feature, which is optimized for the driver. The Voice
Command feature lets you keep your hands on the wheel, and your eyes on the
road.
• When you press the Voice Command
button located on the steering wheel,
you will hear a beep. After the beep, give your command. If you do not know what
commands to say, you can say “help” and the system will provide options to you.
If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists options, press the Voice
Command
button, after the beep, say your command.
NOTE:
All phone oriented voice commands are accessible by first pressing the Phone Pick
Up
button, not the Voice Command button. To end a call, simply press the
Phone Hang Up
button. In some vehicles, the Phone Pickupbutton
serves the dual purpose 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 ½ inch (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

features using your voice. Press either
the VR
