Working With Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one generally has
to press numbers on the mobile phone keypad while
navigating through an automated telephone system.
You can use your Uconnect® Phone to access a voice mail
system or an automated service, such as a paging service
or automated customer service line. Some services re-
quire immediate response selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the Uconnect® Phone.
When calling a number with your Uconnect® Phone that
normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone sequence on
your mobile phone keypad, you can utilize the touchscreen
or press the
button on the steering wheel and say the
word “Send” then the sequence you wish to enter. For
example, if required to enter your PIN followed with a
pound, (3746#),youcanpressthe
button on the
steering wheel and say, “Send3746#.”Saying “Send” followed by a number, or sequence of numbers, is also to
be used for navigating through an automated customer
service center menu structure, and to leave a number on
a pager.
You can also send stored mobile phonebook entries as
tones for fast and easy access to voice mail and pager
entries. For example, if you previously created a Phone-
book entry with First and/or Last Name as “Voicemail
Password”, then if you press the
button on the
steering wheel and say “Send Voicemail Password” the
Uconnect® Phone will then send the corresponding
phone number associated with the phonebook entry, as
tones over the phone.
NOTE:
• The first number encountered for that contact will be
sent. All other numbers entered for that contact will be
ignored.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 169

•You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone
network configurations. This is normal.
• Some paging and voice mail systems have system time
out settings that are too short and may not allow the
use of this feature.
• Pauses, wait or other characters that are supported by
some phones are not supported over Bluetooth®.
These additional symbols will be ignored in the dialing
a numbered sequence.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
Thebutton on the steering wheel can be used when
you wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice
command immediately. For example, if a prompt is
asking “There are two numbers with the name John. Say
the full name” you could press the
button on the
steering wheel and say, “John Smith” to select that option
without having to listen to the rest of the voice prompt.
Voice Response Length
It is possible for you to choose between Brief and
Detailed Voice Response Length.
1. Touch the “More” soft-key (where available), then touch the “Settings” soft-key.
2. Touch the “Display” soft-key, then scroll down to Voice Response Length.
3. Select either “Brief” or “Detailed” by touching the box next to the selection. A check-mark will appear to
indicate your selection.
Phone And Network Status Indicators

of your phone and network status when you are attempt-
ing to make a phone call using Uconnect® Phone. The
status is given for network signal strength and phone
battery strength.

Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
WARNING!
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, accident and injury. Chrysler Group LLC
strongly recommends that you use extreme caution
when using any device or feature that may take your
focus off the road or your hands off the steering
wheel. Your primary responsibility is the safe opera-
tion of your vehicle. We recommend against the use
of any handheld device while driving, encourage the
use of voice-operated systems when possible and
that you become aware of applicable laws that may
affect the use of electronic devices while driving.You can dial a phone number with your mobile phone
keypad and still use the Uconnect® Phone (while dialing
via the mobile phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your connected Bluetooth® mo-
bile phone, the audio will be played through your
vehicle’s audio system. The Uconnect® Phone will work
the same as if you dial the number using voice a
command.
NOTE:
Certain brands of mobile phones do not send the
dial ring to the Uconnect® Phone to play it on the vehicle
audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this situa-
tion, 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.
