VOICE COMMAND QUICK REFERENCE
Uconnect® 8.4AN 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, and 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 in (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.
• Ensure that no one other than you is speaking during a Voice Command period.
Steering Wheel Buttons
• You can control many of your radio features using your voice. Press either the Uconnect
®Voice Commandbutton, or the Phone Pick Upbutton on
your steering wheel.

PICKUP BOX
• You can carry wide building materials (sheets of plywood, etc.) by building a raisedload floor. Place lumber across the box in the indentations provided above the
wheel housings and in the bulkhead dividers to form the floor.
• There are stampings in the sheet metal on the inner side bulkheads of the box in front of and behind both wheel housings. Place wooden boards across the box from
side to side to create separate load compartments in the pickup box.
• There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of the pickup box that can sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total.
Cargo Camera
•Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cargo Camera that allows you to see a image
of the inside of the pickup box. The image will be displayed in the Uconnect®screen.
• A display timer is initiated when the cargo camera image is displayed. The image will continue to be displayed until the display timer exceeds 10 seconds and the
vehicle speed is above 8 mph (13 km/h) or the image is deactivated by touching
the Uconnect
®display.
NOTE:
If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph (13 km/h), the cargo camera image will be
displayed continuously until deactivated by touching the Uconnect
®display.
• The Cargo Camera is located in the bottom center area of the center high-mounted stoplamp (CHMSL).
NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the
lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.

NOTE:
The Cargo Camera image may be deactivated by touching the Uconnect®display. The
previous selected screen will appear.
WARNING!
• The pickup box is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
• Care should always be exercised when operating a vehicle with unrestrained
cargo. Vehicle speeds may need to be reduced. Severe turns or rough roads
may cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may result in vehicle damage.
If wide building materials are to be frequently carried, the installation of a
support is recommended. This will restrain the cargo and transfer the load to
the pickup box floor.
•
If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs (272 kg) of material suspended above the
wheelhouse, supports must be installed to transfer the weight of the load to the
pickup box floor or vehicle damage may result. The use of proper supports will
permit loading up to the rated payload.
• Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward in an accident causing serious or
fatal injury.
