VOICE RECOGNITION QUICK TIPS

Start using Uconnect Voice Recognition (VR) with these helpful quick tips. It provides the key Voice Commands and tips you need to know to control your Uconnect system.

If you see the NAV icon on the bottom bar, or in the Apps menus, of your touchscreen, you have the Uconnect 4C NAV With 8.4-inch Display or the Uconnect 4C NAV With 12-inch Display system. If not, you have a Uconnect 4C With 8.4-inch Display system.

All you need to control your Uconnect system with your voice are the buttons on your steering wheel.

Visit UconnectPhone.com to check mobile device and feature compatibility and to find phone pairing instructions.
Reduce background noise. Wind noise and passenger conversations are examples of noise that may impact recognition.

 

Speak clearly at a normal pace and volume while facing straight ahead. The micro- phone is located in the headliner and aimed at the driver.
Each time you give a Voice Command, you must first push either the VR or Phone button, wait until after the beep, then say your Voice Command.
You can interrupt the help message or system prompts by pushing the VR or Phone button and saying a Voice Command from current category.

The system is designed to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel by letting Siri help you perform useful tasks.

To enable Siri, push and hold, then release the Uconnect Voice Recognition (VR) button on the steering wheel. After you hear a double beep you can ask Siri to play podcasts and music, get directions, read text messages and many other useful requests.

With Do Not Disturb, you can disable notifica- tions from incoming calls and texts, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. For your convenience, there is a counter display to keep track of your missed calls and text messages while you were using Do Not Disturb.

Automatic reply messages can be:

“I am driving right now, I will get back to you shortly”.
Create a custom auto reply message up to 160 characters.

While in Do Not Disturb, Conference Call can be selected so you can still place a second call without being interrupted by incoming calls.

Only the beginning of your custom message will be seen on the touchscreen.
