HANDS–FREE COMMUNICATION (UConnect™)—
IF EQUIPPED
UConnect™is a voice-activated, hands-free, in- vehicle
communications system. UConnect™allows you to dial
a phone number with your cellular phone using simple
voice commands (e.g.,Call”“Mike””WorkorDial”
“248-555-1212). Your cellular phone’s audio is trans-
mitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system
will automatically mute your radio when using the
UConnect™system.
NOTE:The UConnect™system use requires a cellular
phone equipped with the BluetoothHands-Free Profile,
version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect
for supported phones.
UConnect™allows you to transfer calls between the
system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle, and enables you to mute the system’s micro-
phone for private conversation.
The UConnect™phonebook enables you to store up to 32
names and four numbers per name. Each language has a
separate 32 name phonebook accessible only in thatlanguage. This system is driven through your Blue-
tooth™Hands-Free profile cellular phone. UConnect™
features Bluetooth™technology - the global standard
that enables different electronic devices to connect to
each other without wires or a docking station, so UCon-
nect works no matter where you stow your cellular
phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as
your phone is turned on and has been paired to the
vehicle’s UConnect™system. The UConnect™system
allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to system.
Only one linked (or paired) cellular phone can be used
with the system at a time. The system is available in
English, Spanish, or French languages (as equipped).
The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the
system and the control buttons that will enable you to
access the system.

nect™features. Refer to your cellular service provider or

You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone
keypad and still use the UConnect™system (while
dialing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By

audio system. The UConnect™system will work the
same as if you dial the number using voice recognition.
NOTE:Certain brands of mobile phones do not send
the dial ring to the UConnect™system to play it on the
vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this
situation, after successfully dialing a number, the user
may feel that the call did not go through even though the
call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.
