DODGE AVENGER 2008 Owners Manual

² In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.
Far End Audio Performance
² Audio quality is maximized under:
² low-to-medium blower setting,
² low-to-medium vehicle speed,
² low road noise,
² smooth road surface,
² fully closed windows,
² dry weather conditions, and
² operation from the driver's seat.
² Performance, such as audio clarity, echo, and loudness
to a large degree rely on the phone and network, and
not the UConnect t system. ² Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced by
lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.
² In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.
Bluetooth t Communication Link
Cellular phones have been found to lose connection to
the UConnect t system. When this happens, the connec-
tion can generally be re-established by switching the
phone off/on. Your cell phone is recommended to remain
in Bluetooth t ON mode.
Power-Up
After switching the ignition key from OFF to either ON
or ACC position, or after a language change, you must
wait at least five seconds prior to using the system. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 109

General Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and
RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following conditions:
² This device may not cause harmful interference.

VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEM Ð IF EQUIPPED
Voice Recognition System (VR) Operation
This Voice Recognition System allows you to
control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio, disc
player, and a memo recorder.
NOTE: In a stressful situation, take care to speak into
the Voice Interface System as calmly and normally as
possible. The ability of the Voice Interface System to recognize user voice commands may be negatively af-
fected by rapid speaking or a raised voice level.
WARNING!Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions and all attention should be
kept on the roadway ahead. Failure to do so may
result in an accident causing serious injury or death.
When you press the VR hard-key, 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 VR hard-key, listen for the beep, and
say your command. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 115

Pressing the VR hard-key while the system is speaking is
known as ªbarging in.º The system will be interrupted
and 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.
For example, if you are in the disc menu and you are
listening to FM radio, you can speak commands from the
disc menu or from the FM radio menu.
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.
To hear the first available Menu, press the VR hard-key
and say HELP or MAIN MENU.
Commands
The Voice Recognition System understands two types of
commands. Global commands are available at all times.
Local commands are available if the supported radio
mode is active.
Changing the Volume
1. Start a dialogue by pressing the VR hard-key.
2. Say a command (e.g., HELP).
3. Use the ON/OFF VOLUME rotary knob to adjust the
