• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Redial.9

• The UConnectt system will call the last number that

was dialed from your cellular phone.

NOTE:

This may not be the last number dialed from the

UConnect

t system.

Call Continuation
Call continuation is the progression of a phone call on the
UConnect

t system after the vehicle ignition key has been

switched to OFF. Call continuation functionality avail-
able on the vehicle can be any one of three types:

• After the ignition key is switched to OFF, a call can

continue on the UConnect

t system either until the call

ends, or until the vehicle battery condition dictates
cessation of the call on the UConnect

t system and

transfer of the call to the mobile phone.

• After the ignition key is switched to OFF, a call can

continue on the UConnect

t system for a certain dura-

tion, after which the call is automatically transferred
from the UConnect

t system to the mobile phone.

• An active call is automatically transferred to the

mobile phone after the ignition key is switched to OFF.

100

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

After selecting one of the languages, all prompts and
voice commands will be in that language.

NOTE:

After every UConnect

t language change opera-

tion, only the language-specific 32-name phonebook is
usable. The paired phone name is not language-specific
and usable across all languages.

Emergency Assistance
If you are in an emergency and the mobile phone is
reachable:

• Pick up the phone and manually dial the emergency

number for your area.

If the phone is not reachable and the UConnect

t system

is operational, you may reach the emergency number as
follows:

• Press the PHONE button to begin.

• After the 9Ready9 prompt and the following beep, say

9Emergency9 and the UConnectt system will instruct
the paired cellular phone to call the emergency num-
ber. This feature is only supported in the U.S.

NOTE:

The emergency number dialed is based on the

country where the vehicle is purchased (911 for the U.S.
and Canada and 060 for Mexico). The number dialed may
not be applicable with the available cellular service and
area.

The UConnect

t system does slightly lower your chances

of successfully making a phone call as to that for the cell
phone directly.

Your phone must be turned on and paired to the
UConnect

t system to allow use of this vehicle feature in

emergency situations, when the cell phone has network
coverage and stays paired to the UConnect

t system.

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).

Please refer to the 24-Hour “Towing Assistance” cover-
age details in the Warranty Information Booklet and on
the 24–Hour Towing Assistance Card.

Paging
To learn how to page, refer to

9Working with Automated

Systems.

9 Paging works properly except for pagers of

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

t system.

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

9Working

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

t 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

system.

When calling a number with your UConnect

t system

that normally requires you to enter in a touch-tone

102

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

9Send.9 For example,

if required to enter your PIN followed with a pound, (3 7
4 6 #), you can press the “Voice Recognition” button and
say,

93 7 4 6 # Send.9 Saying a number, or sequence of

numbers, followed by

9Send,9 is also to be used for

navigating through an automated customer service cen-
ter menu structure, and to leave a number on a pager.

You can also send stored UConnect

t 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

t 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

9Would you like to pair a phone, clear

{,9 you could press the “Voice Recognition” button and

say,

9Pair a Phone9 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

t sys-

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

103

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

9Setup Confirmations.9 The UConnectt 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 cell phone, the UConnect

t system will provide

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

t. 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

t system (while dial-

ing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By

dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth

t cellular

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

t system will work the same

as if you dial the number using voice recognition.

NOTE:

Certain brands of mobile phones do not send the

dial ring to the UConnect

t 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

t 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

t system:

• Press the “Voice Recognition” button.

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.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

107

• 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

9Send.9

• 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

t phonebook.

• The UConnectt phonebook nametag recognition rate

is optimized for the person who stored the name in the
phonebook.
