UCONNECT VOICE RECOGNITION —
IF EQUIPPED
INTRODUCING VOICE RECOGNITION
Start using Uconnect Voice Recognition with these
helpful quick tips. It provides the key Voice
Commands and tips you need to know to control
your vehicle’s Voice Recognition (VR) system. This
system is only available on the Uconnect 3 With
5-inch Display, Uconnect 5 NAV With 8.4-inch
Display, and the Uconnect 5 NAV With 12-inch
Display.
Uconnect 3 With 5-inch Display
If you see the NAV icon on the bottom bar or in the
Apps menu of your 8.4-inch touchscreen, you have
the Uconnect 5 NAV system. If not, you have a
Uconnect 5 with 8.4-inch display system.BASIC VOICE COMMANDS
The basic Voice Commands below can be given at
any point while using your Uconnect system.
Push the VR button or for the Uconnect 5/
5 NAV, say the vehicle’s Wake Up word, “Hey
Uconnect”. After the beep, say:
“
Cancel ” to stop a current voice session.
“Help ” to hear a list of suggested Voice
Commands.
“ Repeat ” to listen to the system prompts again.
Notice the visual cues that inform you of your Voice
Recognition system’s status.
NOTE:On Uconnect 5 systems, the factory default Wake
Up word is set to “Hey Uconnect” and can be repro -
grammed through the Uconnect Settings.
GET STARTED
The VR button is used to activate/deactivate
your Voice Recognition system.
Helpful hints for using Voice Recognition:
1. Visit
UconnectPhone.com
to check mobile
device and feature compatibility and to find
phone pairing instructions.
2. Reduce background noise. Wind noise and passenger conversations are examples of
noise that may impact recognition.
3. Speak clearly at a normal pace and volume while facing straight ahead. The microphone is
located in the headliner and aimed at the
driver.
4. Each time you give a Voice Command, you must first push either the VR or Phone button,
wait until after the beep, then say your Voice
Command. You can also say the vehicle “Wake
Up” word and state your command. Some
examples of “Wake Up” words include “Hey
Uconnect” or “Hey Ram”.2
