out settings that are too short and may not allow the
use of this feature.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts

button and say, “Pair a Phone” to
select that option without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.

from confirming your choices (e.g., the Uconnect™
Phone will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say
one of the following:
– “Setup Confirmation Prompts On”
– “Setup Confirmation Prompts Off”

such as the instrument panel cluster, and supported by
your mobile phone, the Uconnect™ Phone will provide
