system. Refer to your “Navigation User’s Manual” for

UConnect\3 is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle

phone number with your cellular phone using simple
voice commands (e.g., \6Call”\7“Mike” \7”Work\6 or\6Dial”
\7 “248-555-1212\6). Your cellular phone’s audio is trans-
mitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system
will automatically mute your radio when using the
UConnect\3 system. NOTE:
The UConnect\3 system requires a cellular phone
equipped with the Bluetooth\3\6 Hands-Free Profile,\6Ve r -
sion 0.96 or higher. See the UConnect\3 website for
supported phones.

system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your
vehicle and enables you to mute the system’s microphone
for private conversation.

The UConnect\3system is fully integrated with the vehi-
cle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect\3 system
can be adjusted either from the radio volume control
knob or from the steering wheel radio control (right
switch), if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect\3 system such as \6CELL\6or caller ID on
certain radios.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect \3
system and to navigate through the UConnect\3 menu
structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect\3 system prompts. 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 \6Ready\6prompt or another
prompt.
•For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying \6Setup\6and then
\6Phone Pairing,\6 the following compound command
can be said: \6Setup Phone Pairing.\6
•For each feature explanation in this section, only the
combined 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 combined form voice com-
mand\6Phonebook New Entry,\6 or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
\6Phonebook\6 and\6New Entry.\6 Please remember, the
UConnect\3 system works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone
sitting a few feet/meters away from you.
Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.

The following features can be accessed through the
UConnect\3 system if the feature(s) are available on your

plan provides three-way calling, this feature can be
accessed through the UConnect\3 system. Check with

have.

tem, if on, and will ask if you would like to answer the

the call, press and hold the PHONE button until you hear
a single beep, indicating that the incoming call was

•After the\6Ready\6prompt and the following beep, say
\6Setup Confirmations.\6 The UConnect\3system will
play the current confirmation prompt status and you
will be given the choice to change it.
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 cellular phone, the UConnect\3 system will provide
notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnect\3. The status is given for roaming, net-
work signal strength, phone battery strength, etc.
Dialing Using the Cellular Phone Keypad
You can dial a phone number with your cellular phone
keypad and still use the UConnect\3 system (while dial-
ing via the cellular phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth \3cellular phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The UConnect\3
system will work the same
as if you dial the number using voice recognition.
NOTE: Certain brands of cellular phones do not send
the dial ring to the UConnect\3 system to play it on the
vehicle audio system, so you will not hear it. Under this
situation, after successfully dialing a number the user
may feel that the call did not go through even though the
call is in progress. Once your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.
Mute/Un-Mute (Mute OFF)
When you mute the UConnect\3 system, you will still be
able to hear the conversation coming from the other
party, but the other party will not be able to hear you. In
order to mute the UConnect\3 system:
•Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button.
•Following the beep, say\6Mute.\6

the UConnect\3 system. When this happens, the connec-
tion can generally be re-established by switching the
phone off/on. Your cellular phone is recommended to
remain in Bluetooth\3 ON mode.
Power-Up
After switching the ignition key from OFF to either the
ON or ACC position, or after a language change, you
must wait at least five seconds prior to using the system.

26. Low Fuel LightThis light illuminates when the pointer is between
“E” and 1/8 indication mark (approximately 15%
of tank volume) on the fuel gauge. When the fuel
gauge pointer is on “E” (equivalent to Distance To Empty
[DTE]=0ontheoverhead console, if so equipped) there
is reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds to approxi-
mately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put
in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running
out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions
in areas where there aren’t many fuel stations.
Fuel tank volumes are as follows:
•52 gal (197 L) - Standard Rear Tank
•22 gal (83 L) - Optional Mid Ship Tank
27. CRUISE Indicator This indicator lights when the electronic speed
control system is turned on.

model) whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC
position.
When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or when
the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is
accurately maintained.
On the RAQ radio the time button alternates the location
of the time and frequency on the display. On the REF only
one of the two, time or frequency, is displayed at a time.
