dio. The individual buttons are described in the

The Uconnect® Phone can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth® mobile phone. See the

mobile service provider or the phone manufacturer for

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

•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
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.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to

the beep. The Uconnect® Phone will play some of the
options at any prompt if you ask for help.

button and follow the audible prompts for direc-
tions. Uconnect® Phone sessions begin with a push of
thebutton on the radio control head.

four-digit PIN. You will not need to remember this
PIN after the initial pairing process.

the highest priority.
You can pair up to seven mobile phones to your
Uconnect® Phone. However, at any given time, only one

Phone to know which mobile phone to use if multiple
mobile phones are in the vehicle at the same time. For
