When you receive a call on your mobile phone, 
the Uconnect Phone will interrupt the vehicle 
audio system. Push the Phone button on the 
steering wheel to accept the call. You can also

steering wheel, answer button on the 
touchscreen or caller ID box to place the current 
call on hold and answer the incoming call.
NOTE:
The Uconnect Phone compatible phones in the 
market today do not support rejecting an 
incoming call when another call is in progress. 
Therefore, the user can only answer an 
incoming call or ignore it.
Do Not Disturb 
With Do Not Disturb, you can disable 
notifications 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.
Do Not Disturb can automatically reply with a 
text message, a call, or both when declining an 
incoming call and send it to voicemail.
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.
NOTE:
Only the first 25 characters can be seen on the 
touchscreen while typing a custom message.
While in Do Not Disturb, Conference Call can be 
selected so you can still place a second call 
without being interrupted by incoming calls.
NOTE:
Reply with text message is not compatible 
with iPhones®.
Auto reply with text message is only available 
on phones that support Bluetooth® MAP.
Place/Retrieve A Call From Hold

Things You Should Know About Your 
Uconnect Phone
Voice Command
For the 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.
Speak normally, without pausing, just as you 
would speak to a person sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
Ensure that no one other than you is 
speaking during a voice command period. Performance is maximized under: 
Low-To-Medium Blower Setting
Low-To-Medium Vehicle Speed
Low Road Noise
Smooth Road Surface
Fully Closed Windows
Dry Weather Conditions
Even though the system is designed for many 
languages and accents, the system may not 
always work for some. NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not store names 
in your favorites phonebook while the vehicle is 
in motion.
Phonebook (Mobile and Favorites) name 
recognition rate is optimized when the entries 
are not similar. You can say “O” (letter “O”) for 
“0” (zero).
Even though international dialing for most 
number combinations is supported, some 
shortcut dialing number combinations may not 
be supported.
Far End Audio Performance
Audio quality is maximized under: 
Low-To-Medium Blower Setting
Low-To-Medium Vehicle Speed
Low Road Noise
Smooth Road Surface
Fully Closed Windows
Dry Weather Conditions
Operation From The Driver's Seat
WARNING!
ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the 
wheel. You have full responsibility and 
assume all risks related to the use of the 
Uconnect features and applications in this 
vehicle. Only use Uconnect when it is safe to 
do so. Failure to do so may result in an 
accident involving serious injury or death.
20_WD_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 422   
Page 425 of 464
MULTIMEDIA423
Performance such as audio clarity, echo, and 
loudness to a large degree rely on the phone 
and network, and not the Uconnect Phone.
Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced 
by lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.
Bluetooth® Communication Link
Mobile phones have been found to lose 
connection to the Uconnect Phone. When this 
happens, the connection can generally be 
re-established by switching the mobile phone 
OFF/ON. Your mobile phone is recommended to 
remain in Bluetooth® ON mode.
Power-Up
After switching the ignition key from OFF to 
either the ON/RUN or ACC position, or after a 
language change, you must wait at least 
15 seconds prior to using the system.
