To Arm The System
1. Remove the RKE Key Fob from the ignition
and get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock
switch or the RKE Key Fob lockbutton and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for approximately 16
seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is arming. During this period, if a
door is opened, the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position, or the power door locks
are unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will automatically disarm. Af-
ter approximately 16 seconds, the Vehicle
Security Light will flash slowly. This shows
that the Vehicle Security Alarm is fully
armed.
Rearming Of The SystemIf something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will turn off the horn after 29 seconds, turn off all
of the visual signals after one minute, and then
the Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself.
To Disarm The SystemPush UNLOCK on the RKE Key Fob, or insert
the key into the ignition and place the ignition in
the ON/RUN position.
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security
Alarm in your absence, the exterior lights blink
three times when you unlock the doors. Check
the vehicle for tampering. The Vehicle Security
Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If
you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors
with the RKE Key Fob, once the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is armed (after 16 seconds), when
you pull the door handle to exit, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, push the UNLOCK button
on the RKE Key Fob to disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.

PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate, and
ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the security alarm, the
audible alert will sound for 29 seconds and flash
the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering device
is not deactivated, the audible alert will sound
again after a five-second delay for another 29
seconds. If the trigger remains present, this
cycle will repeat for up to five minutes.
If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the security
alarm system will also monitor the vehicle for
movement. When this portion of the alarm is
set, movement inside the vehicle or movement
of the vehicle will trigger the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

tomer service line. Some services require im-
mediate 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 push the Voice Command
button and say the sequence you wish to
enter, followed by the word “Send.” For ex-
ample, if required to enter your PIN followed
with a pound, (3746#),youcanpush the
Voice Command
button and say, “3746#
Send.” Saying a number, or sequence of num-
bers, followed by “Send,” is also to be used for
navigating through an automated customer ser-
vice center menu structure, and to leave a
number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect phonebook
entries as tones for fast and easy access to
voice mail and pager entries. To use this fea-
ture, dial the number you wish to call and then
push the Voice Command
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. TheUconnect Phone will then send the correspond-
ing phone number associated with the phone-
book 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 push the
Voice Command
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 num-
ber before you dial it).
1. Push the Phone
button to begin.
2. After the “Ready” prompt and the following
beep, say one of the following:
•“Setup Confirmation Prompts On”
•“Setup Confirmation 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 in-
form 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.
