WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be used only in
safe driving conditions following all applicable laws.
Your attention should be focused on safely operating
the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in a collision
causing serious injury or death.Actual button location may vary with the radio.
The individual buttons are described in the “Op-
eration” 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 the
Uconnect Phone such as “CELL” or caller ID on certain
radios.Operation
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
“Phone Pairing,” the following compound command
can be said: “Setup Phone Pairing.”
• 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 command

MULTIMEDIA 373
“Phonebook New Entry,” or you can break the com-
pound 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.

Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to

directions. All Uconnect Phone sessions begin with a
push of the Phone

To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must pair your
compatible Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.

your mobile phone Owner’s Manual. The Uconnect web-
site may also provide detailed instructions for pairing.
The following are general phone to Uconnect Phone pair-
ing instructions:
• Push the Phone
button to begin.
•After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say
“Setup Phone Pairing.”
• When prompted, after the beep, say “Pair a Phone” and
follow the audible prompts.
• You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Identifi-
cation Number (PIN), which you will later need to enter
into your mobile phone. You can enter any four-digit

•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).

loaded and updated every time a phone is connected to
the Uconnect Phone.
