UCONNECT PHONE — IF
EQUIPPED
Uconnect Phone is a voice-activated, hands-
free, in-vehicle 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”…“151-1234-5555”). Your mo-
bile phone’s audio is transmitted through your
vehicle’s audio system; the system will auto-
matically mute your radio when using the
Uconnect Phone.
NOTE:
The Uconnect Phone requires a mobile
phone equipped with the Bluetooth “Hands-
Free Profile”, Version 0.96 or higher. See the
Uconnect website for supported phones.

Uconnect Phone allows you to transfer calls
between 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
Bluetooth “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 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 many lan-
guages.
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 a collision causing serious
injury or death.Uconnect Phone Button
The radio or steering wheel con-
trols (if equipped) will contain the
two control buttons (Uconnect
Phone
button and Voice Com-
mandbutton) that will enable
you to access the system. When you push the
button you will hear the word Uconnect followed
by a BEEP. The beep is your signal to give a
command.
Voice Command Button
Actual button location may vary
with the radio. The individual but-
tons are described in the “Opera-
tion” 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
67
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.
OperationVoice commands can be used to operate the
Uconnect Phone and to navigate through the
Uconnect Phone menu structure. Voice com-
mands are required after most Uconnect Phone
prompts. You will be prompted for a specific
command and then guided through the avail-
able 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 com-
mands can be used. For example, instead of
saying “Setup” and then “Pair a Device,” the
following compound command can be said:
“Pair a Bluetooth Device.”
•For each feature explanation in this section,
only the compound form of the voice com-mand is given. You can also break the com-
mands 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.
Voice Command Tree

Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you

the Phone
button and follow the audible
prompts for directions. Uconnect Phone ses-
sions begin with a push of the Phone
button
on the radio control head.Cancel Command

“Cancel” and you will be returned to the main
menu. However, in a few instances the system
will take you back to the previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect Phone To A Mobile
Phone
To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must
pair your compatible Bluetooth enabled mobile
phone.
To complete the pairing process, you will need
to reference your mobile phone Owner’s
Manual. The Uconnect website may also pro-
vide detailed instructions for pairing.
The following are general phone to Uconnect
Phone pairing instructions:
1. Activate the Bluetooth on your mobile
phone.
2. Push the Phone
button to begin.
3. After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Device Pairing.”
4. When prompted, after the beep, say “Pair a
Device” and follow the audible prompts.
68
You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal
Identification Number (PIN), which you will later
need to enter into your mobile phone. You can
enter any four-digit PIN. You will not need to
remember this PIN after the initial pairing pro-
cess.
For identification purposes, you will be
prompted to give the Uconnect Phone a name
for your mobile phone. Each mobile phone that
is paired should be given a unique phone name.
You will then be asked to give your mobile
phone a priority level between one and seven,
with one being the highest priority. You can pair
up to seven mobile phones to your Uconnect
Phone. However, at any given time, only 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
vehicle, the Uconnect Phone will use the priority
three mobile phone when you make a call. You
can select to use a lower priority mobile phone
at any time (refer to “Advanced Phone Connec-
tivity” in this section).Dial By Saying A Number
•Push the Phone
button to begin.

ber, which may appear in the display of
certain radios.

Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your mobile
phone keypad and still use the Uconnect Phone
(while dialing via the mobile phone keypad, the
user must exercise caution and take precau-
tionary safety measures). By dialing a number
with your paired Bluetooth mobile phone, the
audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The Uconnect Phone will work
the same as if you dial the number using Voice
Command.
NOTE:
Certain brands of mobile phones do not
send the dial ring to the Uconnect Phone to
play it on the vehicle audio system, so you
will not hear it. Under this situation, after
successfully dialing a number the user may
feel that the call did not go through even
though the call is in progress. Once your call
is answered, you will hear the audio.
Mute/Un-Mute (Mute ON/OFF)
