The Uconnect® Phone is driven through your Bluetooth® “Hands-Free Profile” 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 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.

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
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 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.
