Towing Assistance
If you need towing assistance:

• Press the PHONE button to begin.
• After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say

⬙Towing Assistance.⬙

NOTE:

• The towing assistance number dialed is based on the

country where the vehicle is purchased (1-800-528-
2069 for the U.S., 1-877-213-4525 for Canada, 55-14-
3454 for Mexico City and 1-800-712-3040 for outside
Mexico City in Mexico).

• If supported, this number may be programmable on

some systems. To do this, press the PHONE button
and say “Setup”’, followed by “Towing Assistance”.

Paging
To learn how to page, refer to

⬙Working with Automated

Systems.

⬙ Paging works properly except for pagers of

certain companies, which time out a little too soon to
work properly with the UConnect

威 system.

Voice Mail Calling
To learn how to access your voice mail, refer to

⬙Working

with Automated Systems.

Working with Automated Systems
This method is used in instances where one generally has
to press numbers on the cellular phone keypad while
navigating through an automated telephone system.

You can use your UConnect

威 system to access a voice

mail system or an automated service, such as a paging
service or automated customer service line. Some ser-
vices require immediate response selection. In some
instances, that may be too quick for use of the UConnect

威

system.

When calling a number with your UConnect

威 system

that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

sequence on your cellular phone keypad, you can press
the VOICE RECOGNITION button and say the sequence
you wish to enter, followed by the word

⬙Send.⬙ For

example, if required to enter your PIN followed with a
pound, (3 7 4 6 #), you can press the VOICE RECOGNI-
TION button and say,

⬙3 7 4 6 # Send.⬙ Saying a number,

or sequence of numbers, followed by

⬙Send,⬙ is also to be

used for navigating through an automated customer
service center menu structure, and to leave a number on
a pager.

You can also send stored UConnect

威 phonebook entries

as tones for fast and easy access to voice mail and pager
entries. To use this feature, dial the number you wish to
call and then press the VOICE RECOGNITION button
and say, “Send.” The system will prompt you to enter the
name or number and say the name of the phonebook
entry you wish to send. The UConnect

威 system will then

send the corresponding phone number associated with
the phonebook entry, as tones over the phone.

NOTE:

• You may not hear all of the tones due to cellular phone

network configurations. This is normal.

• Some paging and voice mail systems have system time

out settings that are too short and may not allow the
use of this feature.

Barge In - Overriding Prompts
The “Voice Recognition” button can be used when you
wish to skip part of a prompt and issue your voice
recognition command immediately. For example, if a
prompt is asking

⬙Would you like to pair a phone, clear

a...,

⬙ you could press the VOICE RECOGNITION button

and say,

⬙Pair a Phone⬙ to select that option without

having to listen to the rest of the voice prompt.

Turning Confirmation Prompts ON/OFF
Turning confirmation prompts off will stop the system
from confirming your choices (e.g., the UConnect

威 sys-

tem will not repeat a phone number before you dial it).

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• Press the PHONE button to begin.
• After the ⬙Ready⬙ prompt and the following beep, say

⬙Setup Confirmations.⬙ The UConnect威 system 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

威 system will provide

notification to inform you of your phone and network
status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnect

威. 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

威 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

威 cellular

phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The UConnect

威 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

威 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

威 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

威 system:

• Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• Following the beep, say ⬙Mute.⬙

In order to un-mute the UConnect

威 system:

• Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button.
• Following the beep, say ⬙Mute off.⬙

Advanced Phone Connectivity

Transfer Call to and from Cellular Phone
The UConnect

威 system allows ongoing calls to be trans-

ferred from your cellular phone to the UConnect

威 system

without terminating the call. To transfer an ongoing call
from your UConnect

威 paired cellular phone to the

UConnect

威 system or vice versa, press the VOICE REC-

OGNITION button and say

⬙Transfer Call.⬙

Connect or Disconnect Link Between the
UConnect

威 System and Cellular Phone

Your cellular phone can be paired with many different
electronic devices, but can only be actively

⬙connected⬙

with one electronic device at a time.

If you would like to connect or disconnect the Bluetooth

威

connection between a UConnect

威 paired cellular phone

Voice Training
For users experiencing difficulty with the system recog-
nizing their voice commands or numbers, the UConnect

威

system Voice Training feature may be used. To enter this
training mode, follow one of the two following proce-
dures:

From outside the UConnect

威 mode (e.g., from radio

mode):

• Press and hold the VOICE RECOGNITION button for

five seconds until the session begins, or,

• Press the VOICE RECOGNITION button and say the

⬙Setup, Voice Training⬙ command.

Repeat the words and phrases when prompted by the
UConnect

威 system. For best results, the Voice Training

session should be completed when the vehicle is parked
with the engine running, all windows closed, and the
blower fan switched off.

This procedure may be repeated with a new user. The
system will adapt to the last trained voice only.

To restore the Voice Recognition system to factory default
settings, enter the Voice Training session via the above
procedure and follow the prompts.

Voice Recognition (VR)

• For best performance, adjust the rearview mirror to

provide at least

⁄

in (1 cm) gap between the overhead

console (if equipped) and the mirror.

• Always wait for the beep before speaking.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

101

• Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would

speak to a person sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.

• Make sure that no one other than you is speaking

during a voice recognition period.

• Performance is maximized under:

• low-to-medium blower setting,
• low-to-medium vehicle speed,
• low road noise,
• smooth road surface,
• fully closed windows,
• dry weather condition.

• Even though the system is designed for users speaking

in North American English, French, and Spanish ac-
cents, the system may not always work for some.

• When navigating through an automated system such

as voice mail, or when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure to say

⬙Send.⬙

• Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is

not in motion is recommended.

• It is not recommended to store similar sounding

names in the UConnect

威 phonebook.

• Phonebook (Downloaded and UConnect威 Local) name

recognition rate is optimized when the entries are not
similar.

• You can say ⬙O⬙ (letter ⬙O⬙) for ⬙0⬙ (zero). ⬙800⬙ must be

spoken

⬙eight-zero-zero.⬙

• Even though international dialing for most number

combinations is supported, some shortcut dialing
number combinations may not be supported.

102

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be

compromised with the convertible top down.

Far End 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, and
• 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

威 system.

• Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced by

lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.

• In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be

compromised with the convertible top down.

Bluetooth

威 Communication Link

Cellular phones have been found to lose connection to
the UConnect

威 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

威 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.

Voice Recognition System (VR) Operation

This Voice Recognition system allows you to
control your AM, FM radio, satellite radio, disc
player, and a memo recorder.

NOTE:

Take care to speak into the Voice Interface

System as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of
the Voice Interface System to recognize user voice com-
mands may be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a
raised voice level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only

When you press the VR hard-key, you will hear a beep.
The beep is your signal to give a command.

NOTE:

If you do not say a command within a few

seconds, the system will present you with a list of
options.

If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists
options, press the VR hard-key, listen for the beep, and
say your command.

Pressing the VR hard-key while the system is speaking is
known as “barging in.” The system will be interrupted
and after the beep you can add or change commands.
This will become helpful once you start to learn the
options.

NOTE:

At any time, you can say the words “Cancel”,

“Help”, or “Main Menu”.

These commands are universal and can be used from any
menu. All other commands can be used depending upon
the active application.

For example, if you are in the disc menu and you are
listening to FM radio, you can speak commands from the
disc menu or from the FM radio menu.

When using this system, you should speak clearly and at
a normal speaking volume.

The system will best recognize your speech if the win-
dows are closed, and the heater/air-conditioning fan is
set to low.

At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your
commands, you will be prompted to repeat it.

To hear the first available Menu, press the VR hard-key
and say “Help” or “Main Menu”.
