{ª248-555-12129). Your cellular phone's audio is trans-
mitted through your vehicle's audio system; the system
will automatically mute your radio when using the

UConnectŸ allows you to transfer calls between the
system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle, and enables you to mute the system's micro-
phone for private conversation.
The UConnectŸ phone book enables you to store up to
32 names and four numbers per name. Each language hasa separate 32-name phone book accessible only in that
language. This system is driven through your Blue-
toothŸ Hands-Free profile cellular phone. UConnectŸ
features BluetoothŸ technology - the global standard
that enables different electronic devices to connect to
each other without wires or a docking station, so UCon-
nect works no matter where you stow your cellular
phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as
your phone is turned on and has been paired to the
vehicle's UConnectŸ system. The UConnectŸ system
allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to 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 (as equipped).

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 radio.
The individual buttons are described in the
ªOperationº section.
The UConnectŸ system can be used with any Hands-
Free Profile certified BluetoothŸ cellular phone. See
UConnectŸ website for supported phones. If your cellu-
lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., HeadsetProfile) you may not be able to use any UConnectŸ
features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.
The UConnectŸ system is fully integrated with the
vehicle's audio system. The volume of the UConnectŸ
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 UConnectŸ system such as9CELL9or caller ID on
certain radios.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnectŸ
system and to navigate through the UConnectŸ menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnectŸ system prompts. You will be prompted for a
specific command and then guided through the available
options.
78 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

²Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for
the beep, which follows the9Ready9prompt or another
prompt.
²For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying9Setup9and then
9Phone Pairing,9the following compound command
can be said:9Setup Phone Pairing.9
²For 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-
mand9Phonebook New Entry,9or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
9Phonebook9and9New Entry.9Please remember, the
UConnectŸ system works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to some one
sitting eight feet away from you.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to ªVoice Treeº at the end of this section.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say9Help9following
the beep. The UConnectŸ system will play all the
options at any prompt if you ask for help.
To activate the UConnectŸ system from idle, simply
press the ªPhoneº button and follow audible prompts for
directions. All UConnectŸ system sessions begin with a
press of the ªPhoneº button on the radio control head.

you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a
few instances the system will take you back to the
previous menu.

Pair (Link) UConnectŸ System to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your UConnectŸ system, you must pair
your compatible BluetoothŸ enabled cellular phone.
To complete the pairing process, you will need to reference
your cellular phone owner's manual. The UConnectŸ
website may also provide detailed instructions for pairing.
The following are general phone to UConnectŸ System
pairing instructions:
²Press the ªPhoneº button to begin.
²After the9Ready9prompt and the following beep, say
9Setup Phone Pairing.9
²When prompted, after the beep, say9Pair a Phone9and
follow the audible prompts.
²You will be asked to say a four-digit pin number,
which you will later need to enter into your cellular.
You can enter any four-digit pin number. You will not
need to remember this pin number after the initial
pairing process.
²For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnectŸ system a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
²You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between 1 and 7, 1 being the highest
priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to
your UConnectŸ system. However, at any given time,
only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnectŸ System. The priority allows the
UConnectŸ system to know which cellular phone to
use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the
same time. For example, if priority 3 and priority 5
phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnectŸ
system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you
make a call. You can select to use a lower priority
cellular phone at any time (refer to9Advanced Phone
Connectivity9).
