Your mobile phone’s audio is transmitted through

your vehicle’s audio system; the system will

automatically mute your radio when using the

Uconnect Phone.

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 Phone feature 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. Ensure you phone is turned on with

Bluetooth® active and has been paired to the

Uconnect system. Up to 10 mobile phones or audio

devices are allowed to be linked to the system. Only

one linked (or paired) mobile phone and one audio

device can be used with the system at a time.
Phone Button

The Phone button on your steering wheel

is used to get into the Phone Mode and

make calls, show recent, incoming or

outgoing calls, view phonebook, etc.

When you push the button you will hear a BEEP.

The BEEP is your signal to give a command.
Voice Command Button

The Voice Command button on your

steering wheel is only used for “barge in”

and when you are already in a call or

want to make another call.

The button on your steering wheel is also used to

access the Voice Commands for the Uconnect Voice

Command features if your vehicle is equipped.

Phone Operation

OPERATION

Voice commands can be used to operate the

Uconnect Phone and to navigate its menu

structure. Voice commands are required after

most Uconnect Phone prompts. There are two

general methods for how Voice Command works:

1. Say compound commands like “Call John

Smith mobile”.

2. Say the individual commands and allow the

system to guide you to complete the task.

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 “Listen” prompt

or another prompt.



For certain operations, compound commands

can be used. For example, instead of saying

“Call” and then “John Smith” and then “mobile”,

the following compound command can be said:

“Call John Smith mobile.”



For each feature explanation in this section,

only the compound command 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 compound command

form voice command “Search for John Smith,”

or you can break the compound command form

into two voice commands: “Search Contacts”

and when asked, “John Smith.” 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.

WARNING!

ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the

steering wheel. You have full responsibility and

assume all risks related to the use of the

Uconnect features and applications in this vehi

-

cle. Only use Uconnect when it is safe to do so.

Failure to do so may result in an accident involv

-

ing serious injury or death.

NATURAL SPEECH

Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a Natural

Language Voice Recognition (VR) engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak

commands in phrases or complete sentences. The

system filters out certain non-word utterances and

sounds such as “ah” and “eh.” The system handles

fill-in words such as “I would like to”.
The system handles multiple inputs in the same

phrase or sentence such as “make a phone call”

and “to Kelly Smith”. For multiple inputs in the

same phrase or sentence, the system identifies

the topic or context and provides the associated

follow-up prompt such as “Who do you want to

call?” in the case where a phone call was

requested but the specific name was not

recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog. When the

system requires more information from the user, it

will ask a question to which the user can respond

without pushing the Voice Command button on the

steering wheel.

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.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle, simply

push the Phone button (if active) on your steering

wheel and say a command or say “Help”. All Phone

sessions begin with a push of the VR button or the

Phone button.

CANCEL COMMAND

At any prompt, after the beep, you can say “Cancel”

and you will be returned to the main menu.
You can also push the VR button or Phone button

on your steering wheel when the system is listening

for a command and be returned to the main or

previous menu.

(ABS)

The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and

brake performance under most braking conditions.

The system automatically prevents wheel lock and

enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to ensure that

the ABS is working properly each time the vehicle

is started and driven. During this self-check, you

may hear a slight clicking sound as well as some

related motor noises.
The ABS is activated during braking when the

system detects one or more wheels are beginning

to lock. Road conditions such as ice, snow, gravel,

bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops

may increase the likelihood of ABS activation(s).
You also may experience the following normal

characteristics when the ABS activates:



ABS motor noise or clicking sounds (you may

continue to hear for a short time after the stop)



Brake pedal pulsations



A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end of the

stop

The ABS is designed to function with the Original

Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modification

may result in degraded ABS performance.

stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS Warning Light remains on or comes on

while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion

of the brake system is not functioning and that

service is required. However, the conventional

brake system will continue to operate normally if

the ABS Warning Light is on.

WARNING!



The ABS contains sophisticated electronic

equipment that may be susceptible to interfer

-

ence caused by improperly installed or high

output radio transmitting equipment. This

interference can cause possible loss of

anti-lock braking capability. Installation of

such equipment should be performed by qual

-

ified professionals.



Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish

their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.

Pumping makes the stopping distance longer.

Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you

need to slow down or stop.



The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of

physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it

increase braking or steering efficiency beyond

that afforded by the condition of the vehicle

brakes and tires or the traction afforded.



The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including

those resulting from excessive speed in turns,

following another vehicle too closely, or hydro

-

planing.



The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle

must never be exploited in a reckless or

dangerous manner that could jeopardize the

user’s safety or the safety of others.
