Pushing the top of the switch skips to the next track on the selected media (AUX/USB/Bluetooth®). Pushing the switch up twice will go forward two tracks. Pushing the bottom switch goes to the beginning of the current track, or the beginning of the previous track if it is within eight seconds after the current track begins to play. Double pressing the bottom button switch will skip to the previous track if it is after eight seconds into the current track.

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.

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 the 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 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:

  • Say compound commands like “Call John Smith mobile”.
  • Say the individual commands and allow the system to guide you to complete the task. 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 command and be returned to the main or previous menu.

Things You Should Know About Uconnect Phone

VOICE COMMAND

For the best performance:

  • Always wait for the beep before speaking
  • Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would speak to a person sitting a few feet/meters away from you
  • Ensure that no one other than you is speaking during a voice command-period
  • Low-To-Medium Blower Setting
  • Low-To-Medium Vehicle Speed
  • Low Road Noise
  • Smooth Road Surface
  • Fully Closed Windows
  • Dry Weather Conditions

WARNING

ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the wheel. You have full responsibility and assumeall 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.

Even though the system is designed for many languages and accents, the system may not always work for some.

NOTE

  • It is recommended that you do not store names in your Favorites phonebook while the vehicle is in motion.
  • The number and name recognition rate is optimized when the entries are not similar. You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).
  • Even though international dialing for most number combinations is supported, some shortcut dialing number combinations may not be supported.

Audio Performance

Audio quality is maximized under:

  • Low-To-Medium Blower Setting
  • Low-To-Medium Vehicle Speed
  • Low Road Noise
  • Smooth Road Surface
  • Fully Closed Windows
  • Dry Weather Conditions
  • Operation From The Driver’s Seat

Performance such as audio clarity, echo, and loudness to a large degree rely on the phone and network, and not the Uconnect Phone. The echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced by lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.

PHONE VOICE COMMANDS

Making and answering hands-free phone calls is easy with Uconnect. When the Phonebook button is illuminated on your touchscreen, your system is ready. Check UconnectPhone.com for mobile phone compatibility and pairing instructions.

Push the Phone button and wait for the beep to say a command. Here are some examples:

  • “Call John Smith”
  • “Dial 123 456 7890”
  • “Redial” (call the previous outgoing phone number)
  • “Call back” (call previously answered incoming phone number)

Did You Know: When providing a Voice Command, push the Phone button and say “Call”, then pronounce the name exactly as it appears in your phonebook. When a contact has multiple phone numbers, you can say “Call John Smith work”.

VOICE TEXT REPLY — IF EQUIPPED

Uconnect can announce incoming text messages. Push the VR button or Phone button and say:

  • “Listen” to have the system read an incoming text message. (Must have compatible mobile phone paired to Uconnect system.)
  • “Reply” after an incoming text message has been read.

Listen to the Uconnect prompts. After the beep, repeat one of the predefined messages and follow the system prompts.

Did You Know: Voice Text Reply is not compatible with iPhone®, but if your vehicle is equipped with Siri® Eyes Free, you can use your voice to send a text message.

SIRI® EYES FREE — IF EQUIPPED

The system is designed to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel by letting Siri help you perform useful tasks.
To enable Siri, push and hold, then release the Uconnect Voice Recognition (VR) button on the steering wheel. After you hear a double beep, you can ask Siri to play podcasts and music, get directions, read text messages, and many other user requests.
