The Uconnect Voice Command system allows
you to control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio,
disc player, SD Card, USB/iPod and SiriusXM
Travel Link.
NOTE: Take care to speak into the Voice Command system
as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of the Voice
Command system to recognize user voice commands may
be negatively affected 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 vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a collision causing
serious injury or death.
When you push the Uconnect Voice Command

you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a
command.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 141

If no command is spoken the system will say one of two
responses:
•I didn’t understand
• I didn’t get that, etc.
If a command is not spoken a second time, the system will
respond with an error and give some direction as what can
be said based on the context you are in. After three
consecutive failures of a spoken command the VR session
will end.
Pushing the Uconnect Voice Command
button while
the system is speaking is known as “barging in.” The
system will be interrupted, and after the beep, you can say
a command. This will become helpful once you start to
learn the options.
NOTE: At any time, you can say the words “Cancel” or
“Help.”
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 speaking volume. The system will best recognize your speech if the windows
are closed, and the heater/air conditioning fan is set to low.
At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your
commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear available commands, push the Uconnect Voice
Command
button and say “Help.” You will hear
available commands for the screen displayed.
Natural Speech
Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in
phrases or complete sentences. The system filters out
certain non-word utterances and sounds such as “ah” and
“eh.” The system handles fill-in words such as “I would
like to.”
The system handles multiple inputs in the same phrase or
sentence such as “make a phone call” and “to Kelly Smith.”
For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sentence, the
system identifies the topic or context and provides the
associated follow-up prompt such as “Who do you want to
call?” in the case where a phone call was requested but the
specific name was not recognized.
