side Mexico City in Mexico). Please refer to the Chrysler
Group LLC 24-Hour “Roadside Assistance” coverage
details in the Warranty Information Booklet and on the

Voice Mail Calling

To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to “Working
with Automated Systems”.

Working With Automated Systems

This method is used in instances where one generally has
to press numbers on the mobile phone keypad while
navigating through an automated telephone system.

148

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

You can use your Uconnect® Phone to access a voice mail
system or an automated service, such as a paging service
or automated customer service line. Some services re-
quire immediate response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the Uconnect® Phone.

When calling a number with your Uconnect® Phone that
normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone sequence on
your mobile phone keypad, you can utilize the touchscreen
or press the

button on the steering wheel and say

the word “Send” then the sequence you wish to enter.
For example, if required to enter your PIN followed
with a pound, (3 7 4 6 #), you can press the

button

on the steering wheel and say, “Send 3 7 4 6 #.” Saying
“Send” followed by a number, or sequence of num-
bers, is also to be used for navigating through an
automated customer service center menu structure,
and to leave a number on a pager.

You can also send stored mobile phonebook entries as
tones for fast and easy access to voice mail and pager
entries. For example, if you previously created a Phone-
book entry with First and/or Last Name as “Voicemail
Password”, then if you press the

button on the

steering wheel and say “Send Voicemail Password”
the Uconnect® Phone will then send the correspond-
ing phone number associated with the phonebook
entry, as tones over the phone.

NOTE:

• The first number encountered for that contact will be

sent. All other numbers entered for that contact will be
ignored.

• You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone

network configurations. This is normal.

• Some paging and voice mail systems have system time

out settings that are too short and may not allow the
use of this feature.

• sPauses, wait or other characters that are supported by

some phones are not supported over Bluetooth®.
These additional symbols will be ignored in the dialing
a numbered sequence.

Barge In — Overriding Prompts

The

button on the steering wheel can be used

when you wish to skip part of a prompt and issue
your voice command immediately. For example, if a
prompt is asking “There are two numbers with the
name John. Say the full name” you could press the

button on the steering wheel and say, “John

Smith” to select that option without having to listen to
the rest of the voice prompt.

Voice Response Length

It is possible for you to choose between Brief and
Detailed Voice Response Length.

1. Touch the “More” soft-key (where available), then

touch the “Settings” soft-key.

2. Touch the “Display” soft-key, then scroll down to

of any handheld device while driving, encourage the
use of voice-operated systems when possible and
that you become aware of applicable laws that may
affect the use of electronic devices while driving.

You can dial a phone number with your mobile phone

via the mobile phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your connected Bluetooth® mo-
bile phone, the audio will be played through your
vehicle’s audio system. The Uconnect® Phone will work

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 situa-
tion, 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)

When you mute the Uconnect® Phone, you will still be
able to hear the conversation coming from the other
party, but the other party will not be able to hear you. To
mute the Uconnect® Phone simply touch the “Mute”
button on the touchscreen on the Phone main screen.

Advanced Phone Connectivity

Things You Should Know About Your Uconnect®

Voice Command

• For 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 languages
and accents, the system may not always work for some.
When navigating through an automated system such as
voice mail, or when sending a page, before speaking the
digit string, make sure to say “Send.”

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 recognition rate
is optimized when the entries are not similar. You can say
“O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).

Even though international dialing for most number com-
binations 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 loudness to
a large degree rely on the phone and network, and not
the Uconnect® Phone.

Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced by
lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.

In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.

phone is not compatible with SMS messaging over
Bluetooth® the “messaging” button will be grayed out
and the feature will not be available for use.
