vertical mirror adjustment. Adjust the mirror to center on
the view through the rear window.

Headlight glare can be reduced by moving the small
control under the mirror to the night position (toward the
rear of the vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted while
set in the day position (toward the windshield).

Outside Mirrors

To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirrors
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic and a slight
overlap of the view obtained from the inside mirror.

NOTE:

The passenger side convex outside mirror will

give a much wider view to the rear, and especially of the
lane next to your vehicle.

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in the passenger side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other object. Use your
inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side convex mirror.

Power Mirrors

The power mirror controls are located on the driver’s
door trim panel.

To adjust a mirror, turn the control toward the left or right
mirror positions indicated. Tilt the control in the direction
you want the mirror to move.

than they really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could cause you to

simple voice commands (e.g., “Call”

ѧ “Mike” ѧ “Work” or

“Dial”

ѧ “248-555-1212”). Your mobile phone’s audio is

transmitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the sys-
tem will automatically mute your radio when using the
Uconnect® Phone.

NOTE:

The Uconnect® Phone requires a mobile phone

The

through

your

mobile

phone.

Uconnect® features Bluetooth® technology - the global
standard that enables different electronic devices to con-
nect 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
English, Spanish, or French languages.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following all applicable

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

laws, including laws regarding phone use. Your at-
tention 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 controls (if
equipped) will contain the two control buttons
(Uconnect® Phone

button and Voice Com-

mand

button) that will enable you to

access the system. When you press the button you will
hear the word Uconnect® followed by a BEEP. The beep
is your signal to give a command.

114

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Voice Command Button

Actual button location may vary with the ra-
dio. The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” 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 vehi-
cle’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.

The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the Uconnect® Phone such as “CELL” or caller ID on
certain radios.

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. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
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 commands 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 command is given. You
can also break the commands into parts and say each

3

115

part of the command when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the compound form voice com-
mand “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

Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.

Help Command

If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say “Help” following
the beep. The Uconnect® Phone will play some of the
options at any prompt if you ask for help.

To activate the Uconnect® Phone, simply press the

button and follow the audible prompts for directions.

Uconnect® Phone sessions begin with a press of the

button on the radio control head.

Cancel Command

At any prompt, after the beep, you can say “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 refer-
ence your mobile phone Owner’s Instruction. The
Uconnect® website may also provide detailed instruc-
tions for pairing.

116

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The following are general phone to Uconnect® Phone
pairing instructions:

1. Press the

button to begin.

2. After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say

“Device Pairing.”

3. When prompted, after the beep, say “Pair a Device”

and follow the audible prompts.

You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Identifica-
tion 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 process.

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 Connectivity” in this
section).
