Outside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s)
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in a right side convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your right side
convex mirror could cause you to collide with an-
other vehicle or other object. Use your inside mirror
when judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in
the right side convex mirror. Some vehicles will not
have a convex right side mirror.

Exterior Mirrors Folding Feature
All 6 x 9 inch exterior mirrors are hinged and may be

HANDS–FREE COMMUNICATION (UConnect™) —
IF EQUIPPED
UConnect™ is a voice-activated, hands-free, in- vehicle
communications system. UConnect™ allows you to dial
a phone number with your cellular phone using simple
voice commands (e.g.,

⬙Call” ѧ “Mike” ѧ”Work⬙ or ⬙Dial”

ѧ “248-555-1212⬙). Your cellular phone’s audio is trans-
mitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system
will automatically mute your radio when using the
UConnect™ system.

NOTE:

The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular

phone equipped with the Bluetooth

⬙Hands-Free Profile,⬙

version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect
for supported phones.

UConnect™ allows you to transfer calls between the
system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle, and enables you to mute the system’s micro-
phone for private conversation.

The UConnect™ phonebook enables you to store up to 32
names and four numbers per name. Each language has a
separate 32-name phonebook accessible only in that
language. This system is driven through your Blue-
tooth™ Hands-Free profile cellular 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 UCon-
nect works no matter where you stow your cellular
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™ system. The UConnect™ system
allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to system.
Only one linked (or paired) cellular phone can be used
with the system at a time. The system is available in
English, Spanish, or French languages (as equipped).

The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the
system and the control buttons that will enable you to
access the system.

The UConnect™ system can be used with any Hands-
Free Profile certified Bluetooth™ cellular phone. See
www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones. If
your cellular phone supports a different profile (e.g.,

UConnect™ Switches

90

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Headset Profile), you may not be able to use any UCon-
nect™ features. Refer to your cellular service provider or
the phone manufacturer for details.

The UConnect™ system is fully integrated with the
vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect™
system 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™ system such as

⬙CELL⬙ or caller ID on

certain radios.

Operations
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect™
system and to navigate through the UConnect™ menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect™ system 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 voice on 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

⬙Phone Pairing,⬙ the following compound command
can be said:

⬙Setup Phone Pairing.⬙

• For each feature explanation in this section, only the

combined form of the voice command is given. You
can also break the commands into parts and say each
part of the command, when you are asked for it. For
example, you can use the combined form voice com-
mand

⬙Phonebook New Entry,⬙ or you can break the

combined form command into two voice commands:

⬙Phonebook⬙ and ⬙New Entry.⬙ Please remember, the
UConnect™ system works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to some one
sitting eight feet away from you.

Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” at the end of 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 voice on beep. The UConnect™ system will play all
the options at any prompt if you ask for help.

To activate the UConnect™ system from idle, simply
press the ’Phone’ button and follow audible prompts for
directions. All UConnect™ system sessions begin with a
press of the ’Phone’ button on the mirror.

Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the voice on 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™ System to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your UConnect™ system, you must pair
your compatible Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone.

NOTE:

The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular

phone equipped with the Bluetooth

⬙Hands-Free Profile,⬙

version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect
for supported phones.

To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your cellular phone owner’s manual. One of the
following vehicle specific websites may also provide
detailed instructions for pairing with the brand of phone
that you have:

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The following are general phone to UConnect™ System
pairing instructions:

• Press the ’Phone’ button to begin.
• After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say

⬙Setup Phone Pairing⬙ and follow the audible prompts.

• When prompted, after the voice on beep, say ⬙Pair a

Phone

⬙ and follow the audible prompts.

• You will be asked to say a four-digit pin number,

which you will later need to enter into your cellular.
You can enter any four-digit pin number. You will not
need to remember this pin number after the initial
pairing process.

• For identification purposes, you will be prompted to

give the UConnect™ system a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.

• You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a

priority level between 1 and 7, 1 being the highest
priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to
your UConnect™ system. However, at any given time,
only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnect™ System. The priority allows the
UConnect™ system to know which cellular phone to
use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the
same time. For example, if priority 3 and priority 5
phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnect™
system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you
make a call. You can select to use a lower priority
cellular phone at any time (refer to

⬙Advanced Phone

Connectivity

⬙).

Call/Dial by Saying a Number

• Press the ’Phone’ button to begin.

• System will prompt you to say the number you want

call.

• For example, you can say “234-567-8901.” The phone

number that you enter must be of valid length and
combination. Based on the Country in which the
vehicle was purchased, the UConnect™ limits the user
from dialing invalid combination of numbers. For
example, in USA, 234-567-890 is nine digits long,
which is not a valid USA phone number - the closest
valid phone number has ten digits.

• The UConnect™ system will confirm the phone num-

ber and then dial. The number will appear in the
display of certain radios.

Call/Dial by Saying a Name

• Press the “Phone” button to begin.
• After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say

ously stored name entry in the UConnect™ phone-
book. Refer to
