You can also send stored Uconnect Phonebook entries as
tones for fast and easy access to voice mail and pager
entries. To use this feature, dial the number you wish to call
and then push the Voice Command

button and say,

“Send.” The system will prompt you to enter the name
or number and say the name of the phonebook entry
you wish to send. The Uconnect Phone will then send
the corresponding phone number associated with the
phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.

NOTE:
• 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.

Barge In – Overriding Prompts

The “Voice Command” button 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 “Would
you like to pair a phone, clear a...,” you could push the
Voice Command

button and say, “Pair a Phone” to

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

Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off

Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g., the Uconnect Phone
will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).

To turn confirmation prompts on or off using Voice Com-
mand:

1. Push the Phone

button to begin.

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

• “Setup Confirmations Prompts On”
• “Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”

Phone And Network Status Indicators

If available on the radio and/or on a premium display such
as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by your
mobile phone, the Uconnect Phone will provide notifica-
tion to inform you of your phone and network status when
you are attempting to make a phone call using Uconnect
Phone. The status is given for roaming, network signal
strength, phone battery strength, etc.

Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad

You can dial a phone number with your mobile phone
keypad and still use the Uconnect Phone (while dialing via
the mobile phone keypad, the user must exercise caution
and take precautionary safety measures). By dialing a
number with your paired Bluetooth mobile phone, the
audio will be played through your vehicles audio system.
The Uconnect Phone will work the same as if you dial the
number using Voice Command.

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 situation,
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:
• Push the Voice Command

button.

• Following the beep, say “Mute.”

To un-mute the Uconnect Phone:
• Push the Voice Command

button.

• Following the beep, say “Mute off.”

Advanced Phone Connectivity

Transfer Call To And From Mobile Phone

The Uconnect Phone allows ongoing calls to be transferred
from your mobile phone to the Uconnect Phone without
terminating the call. To transfer an ongoing call from your
Uconnect Phone paired mobile phone to the Uconnect
Phone or vice versa, push the Voice Command

button

and say “Transfer Call.”

Connect Or Disconnect Link Between The Uconnect
Phone And Mobile Phone

Your mobile phone can be paired with many different
electronic devices, but can only be actively

⬙connected⬙

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.

voice mail, or when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure to say “Send.”

• Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is not

in motion is recommended.

• It is not recommended to store similar sounding names

in the Uconnect Phonebook.

• Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect Phone Local)

name recognition rate is optimized when the entries are
not similar.

• Numbers must be spoken in single digits. “800” must be

spoken “eight-zero-zero” not “eight hundred.”

• You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).

• Even though international dialing for most number

combinations is supported, some shortcut dialing num-
ber combinations may not be supported.

Regulatory And Safety Information

USA/CANADA

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of the internal wireless radio is
far below the FCC and IC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the wireless radio will be used in such a
manner that the radio is 8 in (20 cm) or further from the
human body.

The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recommen-
dations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific com-
munity.

The radio manufacturer believes the internal wireless radio
is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is
far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wire-
less devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of
wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or
environments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure
of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization
before turning on the wireless radio.

The following regulatory statement applies to all Radio
Frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, in-

cluding interference that may cause undesired opera-
tion.

ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation.

• If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

VOICE COMMAND — IF EQUIPPED

Voice Command System Operation

The Uconnect Voice Command system allows
you to control your AM, FM radio, disk player,
USB mass storage class device, iPod family of
devices, Bluetooth Streaming Audio Device, sat-

ellite radio, and a memo recorder.

NOTE:

Take care to speak into the Voice Interface System

as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of the Voice
Interface System to recognize user voice commands may be
negatively affected by rapid speaking or a raised voice
level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only in
safe driving conditions following all applicable laws.
Your attention should be focused on safely operating
the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in a collision
causing serious injury or death.

interrupted, and after the beep, you can add or change
commands. This will become helpful once you start to
learn the options.

NOTE:

At any time, you can say the words “Cancel,”

“Help” or “Main Menu.”

These commands are universal and can be used from any
menu. All other commands can be used depending upon
the active application.

When using this system, you should speak clearly and at a
normal speaking volume.

The system will best recognize your speech if the windows
are closed, and the heater/air conditioning blower is set to
low.
