The Phone feature is driven through your 
Bluetooth® “Hands-Free Profile” mobile phone. 
Uconnect features Bluetooth® technology — the 
global standard that enables different electronic 
devices to connect to each other without wires or a 
docking station. Ensure you phone is turned on 
with Bluetooth® active and has been paired to the 
Uconnect system. Up to 10 mobile phones or audio 
devices are allowed to be linked to the system. 
Only one linked (or paired) mobile phone and one 
audio device can be used with the system at a 
time.
Phone Button
The Phone button on your steering wheel 
is used to get into the Phone Mode and 
make calls, show recent, incoming or 
outgoing calls, view phonebook, etc. 
When you push the button you will hear a BEEP. 
The BEEP is your signal to give a command.
Voice Command Button
The Voice Command button on your 
steering wheel is only used for “barge in” 
and when you are already in a call or 
want to make another call.
The button on your steering wheel is also used to 
access the Voice Commands for the Uconnect 
Voice Command features if your vehicle is 
equipped.
Phone Operation
OPERATION
Voice commands can be used to operate the 
Uconnect Phone and to navigate its menu 
structure. Voice commands are required after 
most Uconnect Phone prompts. There are two 
general methods for how Voice Command works:
1. Say compound commands like “Call John  Smith mobile”.
2. Say the individual commands and allow the  system to guide you to complete the task.
WARNING!
ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the 
steering wheel. You have full responsibility and 
assume all risks related to the use of the 
Uconnect features and applications in this 
vehicle. Only use Uconnect when it is safe to do 
so. Failure to do so may result in an accident 
involving serious injury or death.

274MULTIMEDIA  
You will be prompted for a specific command and 
then guided through the available options.
Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait 
for the beep, which follows the “Listen” prompt 
or another prompt.
For certain operations, compound commands 
can be used. For example, instead of saying 
“Call” and then “John Smith” and then “mobile”, 
the following compound command can be said: 
“Call John Smith mobile.”
For each feature explanation in this section, 
only the compound command form of the voice 
command is given. You can also break the 
commands into parts and say each part of the 
command when you are asked for it. For 
example, you can use the compound command 
form voice command “Search for John Smith,” 
or you can break the compound command form 
into two voice commands: “Search Contacts” 
and when asked, “John Smith.” Please 
remember, the Uconnect Phone works best 
when you talk in a normal conversational tone, 
as if speaking to someone sitting a few feet/
meters away from you.
NATURAL SPEECH
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a Natural 
Language Voice Recognition (VR) engine. Natural speech allows the user to speak 
commands in phrases or complete sentences. The 
system filters out certain non-word utterances and 
sounds such as “ah” and “eh.” The system handles 
fill-in words such as “I would like to”.
The system handles multiple inputs in the same 
phrase or sentence such as “make a phone call” 
and “to Kelly Smith”. For multiple inputs in the 
same phrase or sentence, the system identifies 
the topic or context and provides the associated 
follow-up prompt such as “Who do you want to 
call?” in the case where a phone call was 
requested but the specific name was not 
recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog. When the 
system requires more information from the user, it 
will ask a question to which the user can respond 
without pushing the Voice Command button on the 
steering wheel.
HELP COMMAND
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want 
to know your options at any prompt, say “Help” 
following the beep.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle, simply 
push the Phone button (if active) on your steering 
wheel and say a command or say “Help”. All Phone 
sessions begin with a push of the VR button or the 
Phone button.
CANCEL COMMAND
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say “Cancel” 
and you will be returned to the main menu.
You can also push the VR button or Phone button 
on your steering wheel when the system is listening 
for a command and be returned to the main or 
previous menu.
