Start Pairing Procedure On Mobile Phone
• Search for available devices on your Bluetooth
®enabled mobile phone. This is
usually within Settings or Options under “Bluetooth.” See your mobile phone’s
manual for details.
• When your phone finds the system, select “Uconnect” as the paired device. You may be prompted by your phone to download the phonebook. This is so you can
make calls by saying the name of your contact (PBAP-Phone Book Access Profile).
Complete The Pairing Procedure
• When prompted on the phone, verify with the radio password shown on the Uconnect
®Screen.
• If your phone asks you to accept a connection request from Uconnect
®, select
“Yes.” If available, check the box telling it not to ask again – that way your phone
will automatically connect each time you start the vehicle.
Select The Mobile Phone's Priority Level
• When the pairing process has successfully completed, the system will prompt you to choose whether or not this is your favorite phone. Selecting “Yes” will make this
phone the highest priority. This phone will take precedence over other paired

your steering wheel to begin.

button located on the steering wheel,
