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.
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
North American English, French, and Spanish accents,
the system may not always work for some. When navi-
gating through an automated system such as voice mail,
or when sending a page, at the end of speaking the digit
string, make sure to say “Send.”
NOTE:
• Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is in
motion is not recommended.
• It is not recommended to store similar 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.

dred.” You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).

binations is supported, some shortcut dialing number
combinations may not be supported.
In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.
