Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances
where one generally has to press num-
bers on the mobile phone keypad
while navigating through an auto-
mated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect® Phone to
access a voice mail system or an auto-
mated service, such as a paging ser-
vice or automated customer service
line. Some services require immediate
response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the
Uconnect® Phone.
When calling a number with your
Uconnect® Phone that normally re-
quires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your mobile phone key-
pad, you can utilize the touchscreen
or press the
button and say the
word “Send” then the sequence you
wish to enter. For example, if required
to enter your PIN followed with a
pound, (3746#),youcanpressthe
button and say, “Send3746#.”
Saying “Send” followed by a number,
or sequence of numbers, is also to be used for navigating through an auto-
mated customer service center menu
structure, and to leave a number on a
pager.
You can also send stored mobile
phonebook entries as tones for fast
and easy access to voice mail and
pager entries. For example, if you pre-
viously created a Phonebook entry
with First and/or Last Name as
“Voicemail Password”, then if you
press the
button and say “Send
Voicemail Password” the Uconnect®
Phone will then send the correspond-
ing phone number associated with the
phonebook entry, as tones over the
phone.
NOTE:
The first number encountered for that contact will be sent. All
other numbers entered for that
contact will be ignored.
You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone network
configurations. This is normal. Some paging and voice mail sys-
tems have system time out set-
tings that are too short and may
not allow the use of this feature.
Pauses, wait or other characters that are supported by some
phones are not supported over
Bluetooth®. These additional
symbols will be ignored in the
dialing a numbered sequence.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The
button can be used when
you wish to skip part of a prompt and
issue your voice command immedi-
ately. For example, if a prompt is ask-
ing “There are two numbers with the
name John. Say the full name” you
could press the
button and say,
“John Smith” to select that option
without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.

WARNING!
Your new vehicle has many features
for the comfort and convenience of
you and your passengers. Only use
such features when it is safe to do
so. Failure to follow this Warning
may result in an accident involving
serious injury or death.
You can dial a phone number with
your mobile phone keypad and still
use the Uconnect® Phone (while dial-
ing via the mobile phone keypad, the
user must exercise caution and take
precautionary 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. To mute the
Uconnect® Phone simply touch the
Mute button on the Phone main
screen.
