For each feature explanation in this section, only
the compound command 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 command
form voice command “Search for John Smith,” or
you can break the compound command form into
two voice commands: “Search Contact” and
when asked “John Smith.” 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.

Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a
Na
tural Language Voice Recognition (VR)
engine.

Natural speech allows the user to speak
c o

mmands 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
p
h

rase 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.
The system utilizes continuous dialog; when the
s y

stem requires more information from the user
it will ask a question to which the user can
respond without pushing the Voice Command
button on your steering wheel.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you
w a

nt to know your options at any prompt, say
“Help” following the beep.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle,
s i

mply push the Phone button (if active) on
your steering wheel and say a command or say
“ h

elp”. All Uconnect Phone sessions begin with
a push of the VR button or the Phone button
(if active) on the radio control head. Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say
“
C

ancel” and you will be returned to the main
menu.
You can also push the Voice Recognition (VR)
b u

tton or Phone button (if active) on your
steering wheel when the system is listening for
a

command and be returned to the main or
previous menu.
