as your phone is turned on and has been paired
to the vehicle’s Uconnect Phone. The Uconnect
Phone allows up to ten mobile phones or audio
devices 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.
Uconnect Phone Button
The Uconnect Phone button on your steering
wheel is used to get into the phone mode and
make calls, show recent, incoming, outgoing
calls, view phonebook etc., When you press the
button you will hear a BEEP. The beep is your
signal to give a command.
Uconnect Voice Command Button
The Uconnect Voice Command button on
your steering wheel is only used for “barge in”
and when you are already in a call and you want
to send Tones or 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 ve-
hicle is equipped. Please see the Uconnect
Voice Command section for direction on how to
use the
button.
The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the
vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the
Uconnect Phone can be adjusted either from the
radio volume control knob or from the steering
wheel radio control (right switch), if equipped.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the
Uconnect Phone and to navigate through the
Uconnect Phone menu structure. Voice com-
mands 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.
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 “mo-
bile”, 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 com-
mand form voice command “Search for John
Smith,” or you can break the compound com-
mand form into two voice commands:
“Search Contact” and when asked “John
Smith.” Please remember, the Uconnect
Phone works best when you talk in a normal
conversational tone, as if speaking to some-
one sitting a few feet/meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a
Natural Language Voice Recognition (VR) en-
gine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak com-
mands 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 recog-
nized.
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 your 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.
