UCONNECT PHONE — IF EQUIPPED
Uconnect Phone is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-
vehicle communications system. Uconnect Phone allows
you to dial a phone number with your mobile phone
using simple voice commands (e.g., “Call” “Mike”
“Work” or “Dial” “248-555-1212”). Your mobile phone’s
audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s audio sys-
tem; the system will automatically mute your radio when
using the Uconnect Phone.
NOTE: The Uconnect Phone requires a mobile phone
equipped with the Bluetooth “Hands-Free Profile,” Ver-
sion 0.96 or higher. See the Uconnect website for sup-
ported phones.

Uconnect Phone allows you to transfer calls between the
system and your mobile phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle and enables you to mute the system’s microphone
for private conversation.
The Uconnect Phone is driven through your Bluetooth
“Hands-Free Profile” mobile phone. Uconnect features
Bluetooth technology - the global standard that enables
different electronic devices to connect to each other without
wires or a docking station, so Uconnect Phone works no
matter where you stow your mobile phone (be it your
purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is turned
on and has been paired to the vehicle’s Uconnect Phone.
The Uconnect Phone allows up to seven mobile phones to
be linked to the system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile
phone can be used with the system at a time. The system is
available in English, Spanish, or French languages.
WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding phone use. Your at-
tention should be focused on safely operating the
vehicle. Failure to do so may result in a collision
causing serious injury or death.

mand

“Operation” section.
The Uconnect Phone can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth mobile phone. See the
Uconnect website for supported phones. Refer to your
mobile service provider or the phone manufacturer for
details.
The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the vehicle’s
audio system. The volume of the Uconnect Phone can be
adjusted either from the radio volume control knob or
from the steering wheel radio control (right switch), if so
equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from

Voice commands can be used to operate the Uconnect
Phone and to navigate through the Uconnect Phone
menu structure. Voice commands are required after most
Uconnect Phone prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.
• Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for the
beep, which follows the “Ready” prompt or another
prompt.
• For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying “Setup” and then
“Pair a Device,” the following compound command
can be said: “Pair a Bluetooth Device.”
• For each feature explanation in this section, only the
compound form of the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into parts and say each

part of the command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound form voice com-
mand “Phonebook New Entry,” or you can break the
compound form command into two voice commands:
“Phonebook” and “New Entry.” Please remember, the
Uconnect Phone works best when you talk in a normal
conversational tone, as if speaking to someone sitting a
few feet/meters away from you.

you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a
few instances the system will take you back to the
previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect Phone To A Mobile Phone
To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must pair your
compatible Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your mobile phone Owner’s Manual. The Uconnect
website may also provide detailed instructions for pair-
ing.
148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
The following are general phone to Uconnect Phone
pairing instructions:
1. Enable Bluetooth on your mobile phone.
2. Push the Phone
button to begin.
3. After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say“Device Pairing.”
4. When prompted, after the beep, say “Pair a Device” and follow the audible prompts.
• You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Iden-
tification Number (PIN), which you will later need to
enter into your mobile phone. You can enter any
four-digit PIN. You will not need to remember this
PIN after the initial pairing process.
• For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the Uconnect Phone a name for your mobile
phone. Each mobile phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name. •
You will then be asked to give your mobile phone a
priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority.
You can pair up to seven mobile phones to your Uconnect
Phone. However, at any given time, only one mobile
phone can be in use, connected to your Uconnect System.
The priority allows the Uconnect Phone to know which
mobile phone to use if multiple mobile phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three
and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the
Uconnect Phone will use the priority three mobile phone
when you make a call. You can select to use a lower
priority mobile phone at any time (refer to “Advanced
Phone Connectivity” in this section for further informa-
tion).

• A maximum of 1,000 entries per phone will be down-
loaded and updated every time a phone is connected
to the Uconnect Phone. •

loaded, there may be a short delay before the latest
downloaded names can be used. Until then, if avail-
able, the previously downloaded phonebook is avail-
able for use.

audio system. The Uconnect Phone will work the same as
if you dial the number using Voice Command.

progress. Once your call is answered, you will hear the
audio.
