your cellular phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset Profile), you may not be able to use any UCon-
nect™ features. Refer to your cellular service provider or
the phone manufacturer for details.
The UConnect™ system is fully integrated with the
vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect™
system can be adjusted either from the radio volume
control knob, or from the steering wheel radio control

The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect™ system such as  CELL  or caller ID on
certain radios.
