Uconnect Phone Button
The radio or steering wheel controls (if
equipped) contain the two control buttons
(Uconnect Phone button and Voice
Command button) that enables you to
access the system. When you push the button
you hear the word Uconnect followed by a BEEP.
The beep is your signal to give a command.
NOTE:
The driver side upper windshield trim contains
the microphone for the Uconnect Phone.
Voice Command Button
Actual button location may vary with the radio.
The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” 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
equipped.
The Uconnect 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, 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 New Entry,” or
you can break the compound 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 know your options at any prompt, say
“Help” following the beep. The Uconnect Phone
will play all the options at any prompt if you ask
for help.
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.

Connecting The External USB Device
Use the connection cable to connect a external
USB device to the vehicle's USB connector port
which is located in the glove compartment.
USB Port
NOTE:
The glove compartment will have a position
where the consumer electronic audio device
cable can be routed through without damaging
the cable when closing the lid. This allows
routing of the cable without damaging it while
closing the lid. If a cut out is not available in the
glove compartment, route the cable away from
the lid latch and in a place that will allow the lid
to close without damaging the cable. Once the audio device is connected and
synchronized to the vehicle's USB/MP3 control
system (External USB device may take a few
minutes to connect), the audio device starts
charging and is ready for use by pushing radio
buttons.
NOTE:
If the audio device battery is completely
discharged, it may not communicate with the
USB/MP3 control system until a minimum
charge is attained. Leaving the audio device
connected to the USB/MP3 control system may
charge it to the required level.
Using This Feature
By using an external USB device to connect to
the USB port:
The audio device can be played on the
vehicle’s sound system, providing metadata
(artist, track title, album, etc.) information on
the radio display.
The audio device can be controlled using the
radio buttons to Play, Browse, and List the
audio device’s contents.
The audio device battery charges when
