Voice Command Tips
• Speaking complete names (i.e; Call JohnDoe vs. Call John) will result in greater
system accuracy.
• You can “link” commands together for faster results. Say “Call John Doe, mobile,”
for example.
• If you are listening to available voice com- mand options, you do not have to listen to
the entire list. When you hear the command
that you need, push the
button on the
steering wheel, wait for the beep and say
your command.
Changing The Volume
• Start a dialogue by pushing the VR button
, then say a command. For example,
"Help".
• Use the radio VOLUME/MUTE rotary knob to adjust the volume to a comfortable level
while the Uconnect system is speaking. NOTE:
The volume setting for Uconnect is different
than the audio system.
NOTE:
To access help, push the Uconnect VR button
(if active) on the steering wheel and say
"help." Push the Uconnect VR Pickup button
(if active) or the VR button(if
active) and say "cancel" to cancel the help
session.
Using Do Not Disturb
With Do Not Disturb, you can disable notifi-
cations from incoming calls and texts, allow-
ing you to keep your eyes on the road and
hands on the wheel. For your convenience,
there is a counter display to keep track of
your missed calls and text messages while
you were using Do Not Disturb.
Do Not Disturb can automatically reply with a
text message, a call or both, when declining
an incoming call and send it to voicemail.
Automatic reply messages can be:
• “I am driving right now, I will get back to you shortly.” • Create a custom auto reply message up to
160 characters.
While in Do Not Disturb, Conference Call can
be selected so you can still place a second
call without being interrupted by incoming
calls.

• Reply with text message is not compatible with iPhones.
• Auto reply with text message is only avail- able on phones that supporting Bluetooth
