Toggling Between Calls
If two calls are in progress (one active and one
on hold), press the
button until you hear a
single beep indicating that the active and hold
status of the two calls have switched. Only one
call can be placed on hold at one time.
Conference Call
When two calls are in progress (one active and
one on hold), press and hold the
button
until you hear a double beep indicating that the
two calls have been joined into one conference
call.
Three-Way Calling
To initiate three-way calling, press the
button while a call is in progress, and make a
second phone call, as described under “Mak-
ing a Second Call While Current Call in Prog-
ress”. After the second call has established,
press and hold the
button until you hear a
double beep, indicating that the two calls have
been joined into one conference call.
Call Termination
To end a call in progress, momentarily press the
button. Only the active call(s) will be
terminated and if there is a call on hold, it will become the new active call. If the active call is
terminated by the phone far end, a call on hold
may not become active automatically. This is
cell phone-dependent. To bring the call back
from hold, press and hold the
button until
you hear a single beep.
Redial
• Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Redial”.
• The Uconnect™ Phone will call the last num-
ber that was dialed from your mobile phone.
NOTE:
This may not be the last number dialed from
the Uconnect™ Phone.
Call Continuation
Call continuation is the progression of a phone
call on the Uconnect™ Phone after the vehicle
ignition key has been switched to OFF. Call
continuation functionality available on the ve-
hicle can be any one of three types:
• After the ignition key is switched to OFF, a
call can continue on the Uconnect™ Phone either until the call ends, or until a vehicle
specific time expires, or until the vehicle
battery condition dictates cessation of the
call on the Uconnect™ Phone and transfer of
the call to the mobile phone.
• After the ignition key is switched to OFF, a
call can continue on the Uconnect™ Phone
for a certain duration, after which the call is
automatically transferred from the
Uconnect™ Phone to the mobile phone.
• An active call is automatically transferred to
the mobile phone after the ignition key is
switched to OFF.
Uconnect™ Phone Features
Language Selection
To change the language that the Uconnect™
Phone is using:
•Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say the name of the language you
wish to switch to (English, Dutch, French,
German, Italian, or Spanish, if so equipped).
80

•Continue to follow the system prompts to
complete language selection.
After selecting one of the languages, all
prompts and voice commands will be in that
language.
NOTE:
After every Uconnect™ Phone language
change operation, only the language-
specific 32-name phonebook is usable. The
paired phone name is not language-specific
and is usable across all languages.
For command translations and alternate com-
mands in supported languages, refer to “Com-
mand Translations” at the end of this section.
Emergency Assistance — If Equipped
If you are in an emergency and the mobile
phone is reachable:
• Pick up the phone and manually dial the
emergency number for your area.
If the phone is not reachable and the
Uconnect™ Phone is operational, you may
reach the emergency number as follows:
• Press the
button to begin. •
After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Emergency” and the Uconnect™
Phone will instruct the paired mobile phone
to call the emergency number.
NOTE:
• The default number is 112. The number
dialed may not be applicable with the
available mobile service and area.
• If supported, this number may be pro-
grammable on some systems. To do this,
press the
button and say “Setup”,
followed by “Emergency”.
• The Uconnect™ Phone does slightly
lower your chances of successfully mak-
ing a phone call as to that for the mobile
phone directly.
WARNING!
To use your Uconnect™ Phone System in an
emergency, your mobile phone must be:
•turned on,
• paired to the Uconnect™ System,
• and have network coverage. Breakdown Service — If Equipped
If you need Breakdown service:
•
Press the
button to begin.
• After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say “Breakdown service”.
NOTE:
The Breakdown service number has to be
setup before using. To setup, press the
button and say “Setup, Breakdown Service”
and follow prompts.
Paging
To learn how to page refer to “Working with
Automated Systems”. Paging works properly
except for pagers of certain companies which
time out a little too soon to work properly with
the Uconnect™ Phone.
Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to
“Working with Automated Systems”.
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.
81

You can use your Uconnect™ Phone to access
a voice mail system or an automated service,
such as a paging service or automated cus-
tomer service. Some services require immedi-
ate 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 press the
button and
say the sequence you wish to enter followed by
the word “Send”. For example, if required to
enter your PIN followed with a hash, (3746#),
you can press the
button and say, “3 7 4
6 # Send”. Saying a number, or sequence of
numbers, followed by “Send”, is also to be
used for navigating through an automated cus-
tomer service center menu structure, and to
leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect™ Phone-
book entries as tones for fast and easy access
to voice mail and pager entries. To use this
feature, dial the number you wish to call and
then press the
button and say “Send.”
The system will prompt you to enter the name or number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The Uconnect™ Phone
will then send the corresponding phone num-
ber associated with the phonebook entry, as
tones over the phone.
NOTE:
•
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.
Barge In — Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Command” button 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 “Would you like
to pair a phone, clear a,” you could press the
button and say, “Pair a Phone” to select
that option without having to listen to the rest of
the voice prompt.
Turning Confirmation Prompts On/Off
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the
system 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:
“Setup Confirmations Prompts On”
“Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
Phone And Network Status Indicators
If available on the radio and/or on a premium
display such as the instrument panel cluster,
and supported by your mobile phone, the
Uconnect™ Phone will provide notification to
inform you of your phone and network status
when you are attempting to make a phone call
using Uconnect™ Phone. The status is given
for network signal strength, phone battery
strength, etc.
Dialing Using The Mobile Phone Keypad
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 dial-
ing a number with your paired Bluetooth mo-

nection to the Uconnect™ Phone. When this
happens, the connection can generally be re-
established by switching the phone off/on. Your
mobile phone is recommended to remain in
Bluetooth ON mode.

LOCK position.
103

•The seat will move to the position located
0.3 in (8 mm) forward of the rear stop if the
starting position is between 0.9 to 2.67 in (23
to 68 mm) forward of the rear stop when the
key is removed from the ignition switch. The
seat will move forward to the memory/driving
position when the key is placed into the
ignition, and turned out of the LOCK position
toward the ACC/ON position.
The Easy Entry/Exit feature will be automatically
disabled if the seat is already positioned closer
