phone DODGE RAM 4500 CHASSIS CAB 2009 4.G Owners Manual

During normal operation, after turning on the ignition
switch, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three
seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the
bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the
electronics. In addition, if the Vehicle Security Light
begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that
someone used an invalid key to try to start the engine.
Either of these conditions will result in the engine being
shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 sec-
onds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics.
Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
•The Sentry KeyImmobilizer System is not compat-
ible with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and loss of security protection.
•Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional Sentry Keys
,
or any other transponder-equipped components on
the same key chain will notcause a key-related
(transponder) fault unless the additional part is physi-
cally held against the ignition key being used when
starting the vehicle. Cell phones, pagers, or other
Radio Frequency (RF) electronics will not cause inter-
ference with this system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE: Only keys that are programmed to the vehicle
electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
Once a Sentry Key is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot
be programmed to any other vehicle.

The UConnectsystem is driven through your
Bluetooth “Hands-Free Profile” cellular phone.
UConnect features Bluetooth technology - the global
standard that enables different electronic devices to con-
nect to each other without wires or a docking station, so
UConnect works no matter where you stow your cellu-
lar 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 the
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.
Phone Button The rearview mirror contains the microphone
for the system (depending on the type of
mirror and radio equipped), and either the radio or the mirror has the two control buttons (PHONE
Button and VOICE RECOGNITION button) that will
enable you to access the system.
Voice Recognition Button
Actual button location may vary with the ra-
dio. The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” section.
The UConnect system can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth cellular phone. See the
UConnect website for supported phones. If your cellu-
lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnect 
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.

The UConnectsystem is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle’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 (right
switch), if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect system such as CELLor caller ID on
certain radios.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect 
system and to navigate through the UConnect menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect system prompts. 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 Readyprompt or another
prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying Setupand then
Phone Pairing, the following compound command
can be said: Setup Phone Pairing.
•For each feature explanation in this section, only the
combined 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 for it. For
example, you can use the combined form voice com-
mandPhonebook New Entry, or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
Phonebook andNew Entry. Please remember, the
UConnect system works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone
sitting a few feet/meters away from you.

•For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnectsystem a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
•You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular
phones to your UConnect system. However, at any
given time, only one cellular phone can be in use,
connected to your UConnect system. The priority
allows the UConnect system to know which cellular
phone to use if multiple cellular phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three
and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the
UConnect system will use the priority three cellular
phone when you make a call. You can select to use a
lower priority cellular phone at any time (refer to
Advanced Phone Connectivity in this section).
