The Uconnect Phone feature enables you to
place and receive hands-free mobile phone
calls. Drivers can also place mobile phone
calls using their voice or by using the buttons
on the touchscreen (see Voice Command sec-
tion).
The hands-free calling feature is made pos-
sible through Bluetooth technology — the
global standard that enables different elec-
tronic devices to connect to each other wire-
lessly.
If the Uconnect Phone Button
exists on
your steering wheel, you then have the
Uconnect Phone features.

• The Uconnect Phone requires a mobile phone equipped with the Bluetooth Hands-
Free Profile, Version 1.0 or higher.

Voice Command Tips
• Speaking complete names (i.e; Call JohnDoe vs. Call John) will result in greater
system accuracy.
• You can “link” commands together for faster results. Say “Call John Doe, mobile,”
for example.

the entire list. When you hear the command
