The sales code RER radio contains an inte-

grated Hands-Free Communication (UConnect

t) sys-

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

t system operating instructions for this radio.

UConnect

t is a voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle

communications system. UConnect

t allows you to dial a

phone number with your cellular phone using simple
voice commands (e.g.,

9Call” { “Mike” {”Work9 or 9Dial”

{ “248-555-12129). 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

t system.

NOTE:

The UConnect

t system requires a cellular phone

equipped with the Bluetooth

t 9Hands-Free Profile,9 Ver-

sion 0.96 or higher. See the UConnect

t website for

supported phones.

NOTE:

For UConnect

t customer support, visit the

following websites:

• www.chrysler.com/uconnect
• www.dodge.com/uconnect
• www.jeep.com/uconnect
• or call 1–877–855–8400

UConnect

t allows you to transfer calls between the

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

t phonebook enables you to store up to 32

names, with four numbers per name. Each language has
a separate 32-name phonebook accessible only in that
language. This system is driven through your Bluetooth

“Hands-Free profile” cellular phone. UConnect

t features

Bluetooth

t technology - the global standard that enables

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

different electronic devices to connect to each other
without wires or a docking station, so UConnect

t works

no matter where you stow your cellular phone (be it your
purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is
turned on and has been paired to the vehicle’s
UConnect

t system. The UConnectt system allows up to

seven cellular phones to be linked to the system. Only
one linked (or paired) cellular phone can be used with the
system at a time. The system is available in English,
Spanish, or French languages (as equipped).

PHONE Button

The rearview mirror contains the microphone
for the system (depending on the type of
mirror and radio equipped), and either the
radio or the mirror has the two control buttons

(PHONE Button and VOICE RECOGNITION button)
that will enable you to access the system.

Voice Recognition Button

Actual button location may vary with radio.
The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” section.

The UConnect

t system can be used with any Hands-Free

Profile certified Bluetooth

t cellular phone. See the

UConnect

t website for supported phones. If your cellu-

lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any UConnect

features. Refer to your cellular service provider or the
phone manufacturer for details.

The UConnect

t system is fully integrated with the vehi-

cle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect

t system

can be adjusted either from the radio volume control
knob or from the steering wheel radio control (right
switch), if so equipped.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect

t system such as 9CELL9 or caller ID on

certain radios.

Operation

Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect

system and to navigate through the UConnect

t menu

structure. Voice commands are required after most
UConnect

t 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

9Ready9 prompt or another

prompt.

• For certain operations, compound commands can be

used. For example, instead of saying

9Setup9 and then

9Phone Pairing,9 the following compound command
can be said:

9Setup Phone Pairing.9

• 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

9Phonebook New Entry,9 or you can break the

combined form command into two voice commands:

9Phonebook9 and 9New Entry.9 Please remember, the
UConnect

t 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.

Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say

9Help9 following

the beep. The UConnect

t system will play all the options

at any prompt if you ask for help.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To activate the UConnect

t system from idle, simply press

the PHONE button and follow the audible prompts for
directions. All UConnect

t system sessions begin with a

press of the PHONE button on the radio control head.

Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say

9Cancel9 and

you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a
few instances the system will take you back to the
previous menu.

Pair (Link) UConnect

t System to a Cellular Phone

To begin using your UConnect

t system, you must pair

your compatible Bluetooth

t enabled cellular phone.

To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your cellular phone Owner’s Manual. The
UConnect

t website may also provide detailed instruc-

tions for pairing.

The following are general phone to UConnect

t system

pairing instructions:

• Press the PHONE button to begin.
• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Setup Phone Pairing.9

• When prompted, after the beep, say 9Pair a Phone9 and

follow the audible prompts.

• You will be asked to say a four-digit Personal Identi-

fication Number (PIN), which you will later need to
enter into your cellular phone. You can enter any
four-digit PIN. You will not need to remember this PIN
after the initial pairing process.

• For identification purposes, you will be prompted to

give the UConnect

t system a name for your cellular

phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

• You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a

priority level between 1 and 7, with 1 being the highest
priority. You can pair up to seven cellular phones to
your UConnect

t system. However, at any given time,

only one cellular phone can be in use, connected to
your UConnect

t system. The priority allows the

UConnect

t system to know which cellular phone to

use if multiple cellular phones are in the vehicle at the
same time. For example, if priority 3 and priority 5
phones are present in the vehicle, the UConnect

system will use the priority 3 cellular phone when you
make a call. You can select to use a lower priority
cellular phone at any time (refer to

9Advanced Phone

Connectivity

9 in this section).

Dial by Saying a Number

• Press the PHONE button to begin.
• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Dial.9

• The system will prompt you to say the number you

want to call.

• For example, you can say 9234-567-8901.9 The phone

number that you enter must be of valid length and
combination. Based on the country in which the ve-
hicle was purchased, the UConnect

t system limits the

user from dialing an invalid combination of numbers.
For example, in the U.S., 234-567-890 is nine digits
long, which is not a valid U.S. phone number - the
closest valid phone number has 10 digits.

• The UConnectt system will confirm the phone num-

ber and then dial. The number will appear in the
display of certain radios.

Call by Saying a Name

• Press the PHONE button to begin.
• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

“Call.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

ously stored name entry in the UConnect

t phonebook.

To learn how to store a name in the phonebook, refer
to

9Add Names to Your UConnectt Phonebook,9 in
