Listening to Music on your Bluetooth®
Device via the touchscreen.
Pairing up to 10 phones/audio devices for
easy access to connect to them quickly.
NOTE:
Your phone must be capable of SMS messaging
v i

a Bluetooth® for messaging features to work
properly. Your mobile phone’s audio is trans -
mitted through your vehicles audio system; the
s y

stem will automatically mute your radio when
using the Uconnect Phone. For Uconnect
customer support, visit the following website:
US residents — visit UconnectPhone.com or
call 1-877-855-8400.
Canadian residents — visit Uconnect-
Phone.com or call 1-800-465-2001 (English)
or 1-800-387-9983 (French).
Uconnect Phone allows you to transfer calls
b e

tween the 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
B
l

uetooth® “Hands-Free Profile” mobile phone.
Uconnect features Bluetooth® technology — the
global standard that enables different
electronic devices to connect to each other
without 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 10 mobile
p h

ones or audio devices to be linked to the
system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile
phone and one audio device can be used with
the system at a time. The system is available in
English, Spanish, or French languages. Uconnect Phone Button
The Uconnect Phone button
is used to enter
the phone mode and make calls, show recent
i n

coming and outgoing calls, view phonebook
along with other features. When you push the
button you will hear a BEEP. The beep is your
signal to give a command.
Uconnect Voice Command Button

The Voice Recognition button is only used for
“barge in” and when you are already in a call and
y o

u want to send Tones or make another call.

The Voice Recognition button is also used to
access the Voice Commands for the Uconnect
V o

ice Command features if your vehicle is
equipped. Please see the Uconnect Voice
Command section for direction on how to use
the Voice Command button.

The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the
ve
hicle’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.

WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be
used only in safe driving conditions following
all applicable laws, including laws regarding
phone use. Your attention should be focused
on safely operating the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in an accident causing serious
injury or death.

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. There are two general methods
for how Voice Command works:

1. Say compound commands like “Call John
S
mith Mobile.”

2. S ay the individual commands and allow the
s
ystem to guide you to complete the task.
You will be prompted for a specific command
a n

d then guided through the available options.
Prior to giving a voice command, one must
wait for the beep, which follows the “Listen”
prompt or another prompt.
For certain operations, compound
commands can be used. For example,
instead of saying “Call” and then “John
Smith” and then “mobile”, the following
compound command can be said: “Call John
Smith mobile.”

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
c o

mmand form voice command “Search for
John Smith,” or you can break the compound
c o

mmand 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
N a

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 Recognition
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.

wheel when the system is listening for a
c o

mmand and be returned to the main or

Things You Should Know About Your
Uconnect Phone
Voice Command
For the best performance:
Adjust the rearview mirror to provide at least
½-inch (1 cm) gap between the overhead
console (if equipped) and the mirror.
Always wait for the beep before speaking.
Speak normally, without pausing, just as you
would speak to a person sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
Ensure that no one other than you is
speaking during a voice command period.
Performance is maximized under:
Low-To-Medium Blower Setting
Low-To-Medium Vehicle Speed
Low Road Noise
Smooth Road Surface
Fully Closed Windows
Dry Weather Condition Even though the system is designed for many
l
a

nguages and accents, the system may not
always work for some.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not store names
in
your favorites phonebook while the vehicle is
in motion.
Phonebook (Mobile and Favorites) name
r e

cognition rate is optimized when the entries
are not similar. You can say “O” (letter “O”) for
“0” (zero). Even though international dialing for most
nu

mber combinations is supported, some
shortcut dialing number combinations may not
be supported.
Far End Audio Performance
Audio quality is maximized under:
Low-To-Medium Blower Setting
Low-To-Medium Vehicle Speed
Low Road Noise
Smooth Road Surface
Fully Closed Windows
Dry Weather Conditions
Operation From The Driver's Seat
Performance such as audio clarity, echo, and
l o

udness to a large degree relies on the phone
and network, and not the Uconnect Phone.
Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced
b y

lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.
In a convertible vehicle, system performance
m a

y be compromised with the convertible top
down.
