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.
When you press the Voice Command button, you will hear a beep. The beep is your signal to give a command.
NOTE: If you do not say a command within a few seconds, the system will present you with a list of options. If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists options, press the Voice Command button, listen for the beep, and say your command.
Pressing the Voice Command button while the system is speaking is known as “barging in.” The system will be 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 win- dows are closed, and the heater/air conditioning fan is set to low. At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.

Voice Training
For users experiencing difficulty with the system recog- nizing their voice commands or numbers the Uconnect® Voice “Voice Training” feature may be used. 1. Press the Voice Command button, say “System
Setup” and once you are in that menu then say “Voice Training.” This will train your own voice to the system and will improve recognition.
2. Repeat the words and phrases when prompted by Uconnect® Voice. For best results, the “Voice Training” session should be completed when the vehicle is parked, engine running, all windows closed, and the blower fan switched off. This procedure may be re- peated with a new user. The system will adapt to the last trained voice only.
