Dodge 5500 Chassis Cab (2008 year). Instruction

your phone is turned on and has been paired to the
vehicle’s UConnect™ system. The UConnect™ system
allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to 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).

The rearview mirror contains the microphone for the
system and the control buttons that will enable you to
access the system.

The UConnect™ system can be used with any Hands-
Free Profile certified Bluetooth™ cellular phone. See
www.chrysler.com/uconnect for supported phones. If
your cellular phone supports a different profile (e.g.,

UConnect™ Switches

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Headset Profile), you may not be able to use any UCon-
nect™ features. Refer to your cellular service provider or
the phone manufacturer for details.

The UConnect™ system is fully integrated with the
vehicle’s audio system. The volume of the UConnect™
system can be adjusted either from the radio volume
control knob, or from the steering wheel radio control
(right switch), if so equipped.

The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the UConnect™ system such as

9CELL9 or caller ID on

certain radios.

Operations

Voice commands can be used to operate the UConnect™
system 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.

• Prior to giving a voice command, one must wait for

the voice on 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™ system works best when you talk in a
normal conversational tone, as if speaking to some one
sitting eight feet away from you.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Voice Command Tree
Refer to “Voice Tree” at the end of 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 voice on 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 ’Phone’ button and follow audible prompts for
directions. All UConnect™ system sessions begin with a
press of the ’Phone’ button on the mirror.

Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the voice on 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™ System to a Cellular Phone
To begin using your UConnect™ system, you must pair
your compatible Bluetooth™ enabled cellular phone.

NOTE:

The UConnect™ system use requires a cellular

phone equipped with the Bluetooth

9Hands-Free Profile,9

version 0.96 or higher. See www.chrysler.com/uconnect
for supported phones.

To complete the pairing process, you will need to refer-
ence your cellular phone owner’s instruction. One of the
following vehicle specific websites may also provide
detailed instructions for pairing with the brand of phone
that you have:

NOTE:

• www.chrysler.com/uconnect
• www.dodge.com/uconnect
• www.jeep.com/uconnect

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The following are general phone to UConnect™ System
pairing instructions:

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

9Setup Phone Pairing9 and follow the audible prompts.

• When prompted, after the voice on beep, say 9Pair a

Phone

9 and follow the audible prompts.

• 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.

• For identification purposes, you will be prompted to

give the UConnect™ system a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.

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

priority level between 1 and 7, 1 being the highest
priority. 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 priority
cellular phone at any time (refer to

9Advanced Phone

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

status when you are attempting to make a phone call
using UConnect™. 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™ system (while
dialing via the cell phone keypad, the user must exercise
caution and take precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired Bluetooth™ cellular
phone, the audio will be played through your vehicle’s
audio system. The UConnect™ 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™ 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.
