•Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would
speak to a person sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.

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 condition.
•Even though the system is designed for users speaking
in North American English, French, and Spanish ac-
cents, the system may not always work for some.
•When navigating through an automated system such
as voice mail, or when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure to say “Send”.

WARNING!
Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following local applicable
laws and phone use. All attention should be focused
on the safe operation of the vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in an accident causing serious injury or
death.
The Uconnect Phone is driven through your Bluetooth
“Hands-Free Profile” mobile 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 Uconnect Phone
works no matter where you stow your mobile 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 Phone. The Uconnect Phone allows up to ten
mobile phones or audio devices to be linked to the system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile phone and
one audio device can be used with the system at a time.
The system is available in English, Spanish, or French
languages.
Uconnect

Button is used to get

book etc., When you press the button you will

Uconnect Voice Command Button
The Uconnect Voice Command

Thebutton is also used to access the Voice
Commands for the Uconnect Voice Command features
if your vehicle is equipped. Please see the Uconnect 
Voice Command section for direction on how to use the
button.
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.
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
Uconnect Phone prompts. There are two general meth-
ods for how Voice Command works:
1. Say compound commands like “Call John Smith mo-
bile”. 2. Say the individual commands and allow the system to
guide you to complete the task.
You will be prompted for a specific command and then
guided through the available options.
•Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the beep, which follows the “Listen” prompt or an-
other prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying “Call” and then
“John Smith” and then “mobile”, the following com-
pound command can be said: “Call John Smith mo-
bile”.
•For each feature explanation in this section, only the
compound command 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
148 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

for it. For example, you can use the compound com-
mand form voice command “Search for John Smith”,
or you can break the compound command form into
two voice commands: “Search Contact” and when
asked “John Smith”. Please remember, the Uconnect
Phone works best when you talk in a normal conver-
sational tone, as if speaking to someone sitting a few
feet/meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a Natural
Language Voice Recognition (VR) engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in
phrases or complete sentences. The system filters out
certain non-word utterances and sounds such as “ah”
and “eh”. The system handles fill-in words such as “I
would like to”. The system handles multiple inputs in the same phrase
or sentence such as “make a phone call” and “to Kelly
Smith”. For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sen-
tence, the system identifies the topic or context and
provides the associated follow-up prompt such as “Who
do you want to call?” in the case where a phone call was
requested but the specific name was not recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog; when the system
requires more information from the user it will ask a
question to which the user can respond without pressing
the Voice Command
button.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say “Help” following
the beep.
