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”

through your vehicle’s audio system; the system will auto-
matically mute your radio when using the Uconnect Phone.

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 with-
out 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!
ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the wheel.
You have full responsibility and assume all risks
related to the use of the Uconnect features and appli-
cations in this vehicle. Only use Uconnect when it is
safe to do so. Failure to do so may result in an accident
involving serious injury or death.

equipped) will contain the two control buttons
(Uconnect Phone

mand

the system. When you push the button you will hear the

Voice Command Button
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 “Phonebook
10
MULTIMEDIA 369

New Entry,” or you can break the compound form com-
mand 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.

priority level between one and seven, with one being the
highest priority. You can pair up to seven mobile phones to

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

mobile phone when you make a call. You can select to use
