Speech Dialogue System
Voice Recognition System (VR)
This Voice Recognition System allows you to control your AM
and FM radio, satellite radio, disc player, navigation system, hard
disk drive storage, and a memo recorder.
WARNING: Any voice commanded system should be used only in
safe driving conditions and all attention should be kept on the road-
way ahead. In a stressful situation, 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 commands may
be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a raised voice level.
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.
You can always recall the help menus by saying HELP.
If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists options,
press the VR hard-key, listen for the beep, and say your com-
mand.
Pressing the VR hard-key while the system is speaking is known
as “barging in”. The system will be interrupted and 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, REPEAT, HELP, or
MAIN MENU.
These commands are universal and can be used from any menu
or screen. For other universal commands, refer to the command
section in this manual.
All other commands can be used depending upon the active
application.
For example: If you are in the navigation menu and you are lis-
tening to FM radio, you can speak commands from the naviga-
tion menu or from the FM radio menu.
When using this system, you should speak clearly and at a nor-
mal speaking volume.
The system will best recognize your speech if the windows are
closed, and the heater- / air-conditioning fan is set to low.
At any point, if the system does not recognize one of your com-
mands, you will be prompted to repeat it.
To hear the first available Menu, press the VR hard-key and say
HELP or MAIN MENU.

ing feature may be used.
1. Press the VR hard-key.
2. Say VOICE TRAINING.
This will train your own voice to the system and will improve

nize other people’s voices. It gives the recognition system additional in-
formation about your voice.

Hands Free Cellular Telephone
UConnect™ Overview
UConnect™ is a voice-activated, hands-free, in vehicle commu-
nications system. UConnect™ allows you to dial a phone number
with your cellular phone using simple voice commands (e.g.,
“Call” … “Jim” …Work” or “Dial” … “248-555-1212”). Your cellular
phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s audio sys-
tem; the system will automatically mute your radio when using
the UConnect™ system.
Compatible Phones
See the UConnect™ site on http://www.chrysler.com/mygig/ for a
current list of compatible cellular phones and any limitations your
phone might have.
Warning: Any voice commanded system should only be used in safe
driving conditions and your attention should be kept on the road
ahead.
If your cellular 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.
SPEECH DIALOGUE SYSTEM

The UConnect™ system is fully integrated with the vehicle’s
navigation radio audio system. The volume of the UConnect™
system can either be adjusted from the radio volume control
knob, or from the steering wheel radio control, if so equipped.
The radio display will be used for visual prompts from the UCon-
nect™ system such as “Incoming Call”, duration of the call, or
caller ID.
UConnect™ 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 conversations.
The UConnect™ phonebook enables you to store up to 500
names and four numbers per name.
Bluetooth
This system is driven through your Bluetooth™ Hands-Free pro-
file cellular phone. UConnect™ features Bluetooth™ technology
– the global standard that enables different electronic devices to
connect to each other without wires or a docking station, so
UConnect 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™ sys-
tem. The UConnect™ 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.
See http://www.bluetooth.org for more information on bluetooth.
UConnect™ microphone
The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the system and
the radio has the two control hard-keys that will enable you to
access the system.
Please remember, the UConnect™ system works best when you
talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to some one
sitting eight feet away from you.
Say phone numbers as you normally would with a pause be-
tween the sets of digits. Speak aloud names as you would nor-
mally.
If the system does not recognize one of your commands, you will
be prompted to repeat it.
If you have trouble with recognition, you should press the VR
hard-key, then say Voice Training. This will train your own voice
to the system and will improve recognition.
SPEECH DIALOGUE SYSTEM

You may always exit the system by saying CANCEL. Other uni-
versal commands include HELP and MAIN MENU.
Operations
Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect™ sys-
tem and to navigate through the UConnect™ menu structure.
Voice commands are required after most UConnect™ system
prompts. You will be prompted for a specific command and then
guided through the available options.
UConnect™ hard-key
When you press the UConnect™ hard-key you will hear the word
UConnect™ followed by a BEEP. The beep is your signal to give
a command.
Note: If nothing is said within a few seconds, the system will present a list
of menu options.
Listen to the choices and give your command after the beep.
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 playing “Would you like
to pair a phone, clear a…,” you could press the ‘VR hard-key and
say “Pair a Phone” to select that option without having to listen to
the rest of the voice prompt.
Pressing the VR hard-key while the system is speaking is known
as “barging-in”. Barging-in must be done with the VR hard-key.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt or if you want to know what
your options are at any prompt, say “Help” following the beep.
The UConnect™ system will play all the options at any prompt if
you ask for help.
To activate the UConnect™ system from idle, simply press the
UConnect™ hard-key and follow audible prompts for directions.
All UConnect™ system sessions begin with a press of the
UConnect™ hard-key.
Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say “Cancel” 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) to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your UConnect™ system, you must pair your
compatible Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone (refer to “Intro-
duction” section to learn about the phone type). To complete the
pairing process, you will need to reference your cellular phone
owner’s manual. One of the following vehicle specific websites
may also provide detailed instructions for pairing with the brand
of phone that you have:
www.chrysler.com/uconnect or www.dodge.com/uconnect or
www.jeep.com/uconnect
Phone pairing can either be done using the touch screen (see
Getting Started section in this manual) or using voice commands.
Pairing will walk you through a series of steps that will establish a
connection between your handset and the UConnect™ system in
the vehicle.
Once set up, you do not need to re- pair your phone with each
use. However, every new phone must be paired before it can be
used.
The following are general phone to UConnect™ System voice
pairing instructions:
1. Press the UConnect™ hard-key to begin.
2. Wait for the beep.
3. Say PHONE PAIRING.
4. When prompted, after the beep, say PAIR A PHONE and fol-
low the audible prompts.
5. You will be asked to say a four-digit pin number which you will
later need to enter into your cellular. You can enter any four-digit
pin number. You will not need to remember this pin number after
the initial pairing process.
6. The UConnect™ system will then prompt you to begin the
cellular phone pairing process on your cellular phone. Before
attempting to pair phone, please see your cellular phone’s user
manual (Bluetooth section) for instructions on how to complete
this step.
7. For identification purposes, you will be prompted to give the
UConnect™ system a name for your cellular phone. Each cellu-
lar phone that is paired should be given a unique phone name.
8. You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a priority
level between 1 and 7, 1 being the highest priority.
SPEECH DIALOGUE SYSTEM
83
![](/img.php?id=867212&img=bg2f.png)
You can pair up to seven cellular phones to your UConnect™
system. However, at any given time, only one cellular phone can
be in use, connected to your UConnect™ System. The priority
allows the UConnect™ 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 prior-
ity cellular phone at any time (refer to “Advanced Phone Connec-
tivity” section).
Dial by Saying a Number
1. Press the UConnect™ hard-key to begin.
2. Wait for the beep.
3. Say DIAL.
4. When prompted, after the beep, say the number you want to
call.
For example, you can say “234-567-8901.” The phone number
that you enter must be of valid length and combination. Based on
the Country in which the vehicle was purchased, the UConnect™
limits the user from dialing invalid combination of numbers. For
example, in USA, 234-567-890 is nine digits long, which is not a
valid USA phone number - the closest valid phone number has
ten digits.
5. The UConnect™ system will ask you to confirm the phone
number and then dial. The number will appear in the display of
the navigation radio.
Call by Saying a Name
1. Press the UConnect™ hard-key to begin.
2. Wait for the beep.
3. Say CALL.
4. When prompted, after the beep, say the name of the person
you want call.
For example, you can say “John Doe,” where John Doe is a
previously stored name entry in the UConnect™ phonebook.
Refer to section “Add Names to Phonebook,” to learn how to
store a name in the phonebook.
5. The UConnect™ system will ask you to confirm the name and
then dial the corresponding phone number, which will appear in
the display of the navigation radio.

Phone Book
Accessing the phone book can either be done using the touch
screen (see Address Book section in this manual) or using voice
commands.
The UConnect™ PHONE BOOK accesses the same database
as the navigation radios ADDRESS BOOK.
Add Names to Phonebook
Adding names to phonebook is recommended when the vehicle
is not in motion.
1. Press the UConnect™ hard-key to begin.
2. Wait for the beep.
3. Say PHONEBOOK.

mended. For example, say “Robert Smith” or “Robert” instead of
“Bob.”
5. When prompted, enter the number designation (e.g.: “Home,”
“Work,” “Mobile,” or “Pager”). This will allow you to store multiple
numbers for each phonebook entry, if desired.
6. When prompted, confirm the phone number for the phonebook
entry that you are adding.
7. After you are finished adding an entry into the phonebook, you
will be given the opportunity to add more phone numbers to the
current entry or to return to the main menu.
The navigation radio will allow you to enter up to 500 names in
the phone book with each name having addresses, and up to
four associated phone numbers, and designations.
Voice Tags
In step 4 of the Add Names to Phonebook section, the navigation
radio is recording your voice. The recording is called Voice Tag.
You may edit, delete, or listen to the voice tag in the contact
information menu (refer to the Address Book section in this man-
ual for more details).
Note: Only voice tags are saved in regards to the currently se-
lected system language setting. If you switch the language, your
