Uconnect® 5.0 Voice Command Quick Reference
If the Uconnect®Voice Commandbutton exists on your steering wheel, you
have the Voice Command feature, which is optimized for the driver. The Voice
Command feature lets you keep your hands on the wheel, and your eyes on the road.
• When you press the Voice Command
button located on the steering wheel,
you will hear a beep. After the beep, give your command. If you do not know what
commands to say, you can say “help” and the system will provide options to you.
If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists options, press the Voice
Command
button, and after the beep, say your command.
NOTE:
All phone oriented voice commands are accessible by first pressing the Phone Pick
Up

button. In some vehicles, the Phone Pickup button serves
the dual purpose of ending calls as well.

®Voice
Command
button while the system is speaking. After the beep, you can say
