adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in
an outside convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on side
convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or
other object. Use your inside mirror
when judging the size or distance of
a vehicle seen in a side convex mir-
ror.

VOICE COMMAND
For best performance, adjust the
rearview mirror to provide at least 1
cm gap between the overhead con-
sole (for versions/markets, where
provided) 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 meters away from you.
Make sure that no one other than you is speaking during a Voice
Command period.
Performance is maximized under:
low-to-medium blower setting,
low-to-medium vehicle speed,
low road noise,
smooth road surface,
fully closed windows, dry weather condition.
Even though the system is designed
for users speaking in European
English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, or Spanish accents, the sys-
tem may not always work for some.
When navigating through an auto- mated system such as voice mail, or
when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure
to say “Send.”
Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is not in motion is
recommended.
It is not recommended to store simi- lar sounding names in the
Uconnect® Phonebook.
Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect® Phone Local) name
recognition rate is optimized when
the entries are not similar.
Numbers must be spoken in single digits. “800” must be spoken
“eight-zero-zero” not “eight
hundred.”

System to recognize user voice
commands may be negatively af-
fected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system
should be used only in safe driving
conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding
phone use. Your attention should be
focused on safely operating the ve-
hicle. Failure to do so may result in
a collision causing serious injury or
death.
When you press the Voice Command
button, you will hear a beep. The
beep is your signal to give a com-
mand.
NOTE: If you do not say a com-
mand within a few seconds, the
system will present you with a list
of options. If you ever wish to interrupt the sys-
tem while it lists options, press the
Voice Command
button, listen
for the beep, and say your command.
Pressing the Voice Command

the words “Cancel”, “Help” or
“Main Menu”.
These commands are universal and
can be used from any menu. All other
commands can be used depending
upon the active application.
When using this system, you should
speak clearly and at a normal speak-
ing volume.
The system will best recognize your
speech if the windows are closed, and
