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. For Uconnect customer support:

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

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

beep, which follows the “Ready” prompt or another
prompt.

used. For example, instead of saying “Setup” and then
“Phone Pairing,” the following compound command
can be said: “Setup Phone Pairing.”

compound form of the voice command is given. You

notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect Phone. The status is given for roaming,
network signal strength, phone battery strength, etc.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile phone
keypad and still use the Uconnect Phone (while dialing
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 vehicles
audio system. The Uconnect Phone will work the same as
if you dial the number using Voice 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.
