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.

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

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
