UCONNECT VOICE RECOGNITION
QUICK TIPS — IF EQUIPPED
INTRODUCING VOICE RECOGNITION
Start using Uconnect Voice Recognition with these helpful
quick tips. It provides the key Voice Commands and tips
you need to know to control your vehicle’s Voice
Recognition (VR) system.
BASIC VOICE COMMANDS
The following basic voice commands can be given at any
point while using your Uconnect system.
Push the VR button or say the vehicle’s Wake Up word
“Hey Uconnect”. The factory default Wake Up word is set
to “Hey Uconnect” and can be reprogrammed through the
Uconnect Settings. After the beep, say:
“Cancel ” to stop a current voice session.
 “Help ” to hear a list of suggested Voice Commands.
 “Repeat ” to listen to the system prompts again.
Notice the visual cues that inform you of your Voice
Recognition system’s status.
GET STARTED
The VR button is used to activate/deactivate your
Voice Recognition system. You can also use the system’s
Wake Up word to activate voice recognition. The Wake Up
word can be set through the Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
Helpful hints for using Voice Recognition:
 Reduce background noise. Wind noise and passenger
conversations are examples of noise that may impact
recognition.
 Speak clearly at a normal pace and volume while facing
straight ahead.
 Each time you give a Voice Command, first push the VR
button or say the Wake Up word, wait until after the
beep, then say your Voice Command.
 You can interrupt the help message or system prompts
by pushing the VR button and saying a Voice Command
from the current category.
 You can also interrupt the help message or system
prompts by speaking. This feature is called “barge-in”
and can be set through the Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
WARNING!
All occupants, including the driver, should not
operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
head restraints are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event
of a crash.
 Head restraints should never be adjusted while the
vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed could

The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the right
side of the steering column. The front wipers are operated
by rotating a switch, located on the end of the lever.

Windshield Wiper Operation

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
The wipers and washers are operated by a switch within
the wiper lever. Rotate the switch at the end of the lever
upward, to the first detent past the intermittent settings
for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the switch at the
end of the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper operation. To
turn the windshield wipers off, rotate the switch within the
lever all the way down to OFF.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make
a single wiping cycle with a variable pause between cycles
desirable. Rotate the switch at the end of the wiper lever
to the first detent position, and then turn the switch at the
end of the lever to select the desired delay interval. There
are four delay settings, which allow you to regulate the
wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle every second to
a maximum of approximately 36 seconds between cycles.
The delay intervals will double in duration when the
vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
