Exposure To Radio Frequency Radiation
4 SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
![](/img.php?id=3660373&img=bg5.png)
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recommen-
dations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific com-
munity. The radio manufacturer believes the internal wire-
less radio is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy
emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted
by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the
use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations
or environments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are
unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for
authorization before turning on the wireless radio.
Care And Maintenance
Touchscreen
•Do not press the touchscreen with any hard or sharp
objects (pen, USB stick, jewelry, etc.) which could scratch
the touchscreen surface!
•Do not spray any liquid or caustic chemicals directly on
the screen! Use a clean and dry micro fiber lens cleaning
cloth in order to clean the touchscreen.
•If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dampened with a
cleaning solution, such as isopropyl alcohol or an iso-
propyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50. Be sure
to follow the solvent manufacturer’s precautions and
directions.
Disc Drive
•Do not insert any damaged, warped, scratched or dirty
Discs into the Disc Player.
•Discs that have been modified with an adhesive label
should not be used in the Disc Player.
•Do not insert more than one Disc at a time into the drive
slot.
CYBERSECURITY
Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and may be
equipped with both wired and wireless networks. These
networks allow your vehicle to send and receive informa-
tion. This information allows systems and features in your
vehicle to function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain security fea-
tures to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful
access to vehicle systems and wireless communications.
Vehicle software technology continues to evolve over time

![](/img.php?id=3660373&img=bg6.png)
and FCA US LLC, working with its suppliers, evaluates
and takes appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a com-
puter or other devices, your vehicle may require software
updates to improve the usability and performance of your
systems or to reduce the potential risk of unauthorized and
unlawful access to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to your
vehicle systems may still exist, even if the most recent
version of vehicle software (such as Uconnect software) is
installed.
WARNING!
•It is not possible to know or to predict all of the
possible outcomes if your vehicle’s systems are
breached. It may be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems, could be impaired
or a loss of vehicle control could occur that may
result in an accident involving serious injury or
death.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•ONLY insert media (e.g., USB, SD card, or CD) into
your vehicle if it came from a trusted source. Media
of unknown origin could possibly contain malicious
software, and if installed in your vehicle, it may
increase the possibility for vehicle systems to be
breached.
•As always, if you experience unusual vehicle behav-
ior, take your vehicle to your nearest authorized
dealer immediately.
NOTE:
•FCA or your dealer may contact you directly regarding
software updates.
•To help further improve vehicle security and minimize
the potential risk of a security breach, vehicle owners
should:
•Routinely check
www.driveuconnect.com/software-update
to learn
about available Uconnect software updates.
•Only connect and use trusted media devices (e.g.
personal mobile phones, USBs, CDs).

•If using a Samsung device, every time it is connected to
a media USB, and there is another device plugged in,
you will need to manually change the configuration of
the USB connection in order for the Samsung device to
send data.

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 steer-
ing 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
48 PHONE MODE
![](/img.php?id=3660373&img=bg31.png)
Command features if your vehicle 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.
PHONE OPERATION
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the Uconnect
Phone and to navigate through the Uconnect Phone menu
structure. Voice commands 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 mo-
bile.”
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 “mobile”, the following com-
pound 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 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 someone sitting a few feet/meters away
from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a Natural Lan-
guage Voice Recognition (VR) engine.
5
PHONE MODE 49
![](/img.php?id=3660373&img=bg32.png)
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 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.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle, simply push the
Phone
button on your steering wheel and say a
command or say “help.” All Uconnect Phone sessions
begin with a push of the Phone button on the radio
control head.
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 Phone
or Voice Command
button on your steering wheel when the system is
listening for a command and be returned to the main or
previous menu.
