Dodge Dart (2016 year). Instruction

For best performance:

• Adjust the rearview mirror to provide at least ½ inch (1

cm) gap between the overhead console (if equipped)
and the mirror.

• Always wait for the beep before speaking.
• 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 Command 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 accents,
the system may not always work for some. When navi-
gating 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 “Send.”

NOTE:

• Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is in

motion is not recommended.

• It is not recommended to store similar sounding names

in the Uconnect Phonebook.

Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect Phone Local)
name recognition rate is optimized when the entries are
not similar. Numbers must be spoken in single digits.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

“800” must be spoken “eight-zero-zero” not “eight hun-
dred.” You can say “O” (letter “O”) for “0” (zero).

Even though international dialing for most number com-
binations is supported, some shortcut dialing number
combinations may not be supported.

In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.

Far End Audio Performance

Audio quality is maximized under:

• Low-To-Medium Blower Setting
• Low-To-Medium Vehicle Speed
• Low Road Noise
• Smooth Road Surface

• Fully Closed Windows
• Dry Weather Conditions
• Operation From The Driver’s Seat
• Performance, such as audio clarity, echo, and loudness

to a large degree rely on the phone and network, and
not the Uconnect Phone

• Echo at the phone far end can sometimes be reduced

by lowering the in-vehicle audio volume

Power-Up

After switching the ignition key from OFF to either the
ON or ACC position, or after a language change, you
must wait at least 15 seconds prior to using the system.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following all applicable
laws, including laws regarding phone use. Your at-
tention should be focused on safely operating the
vehicle. Failure to do so may result in an accident
causing serious injury or death.

The Uconnect Phone is driven through your Bluetooth
“Hands-Free Profile” mobile 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 Phone
works no matter where you stow your mobile 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 Phone.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

167

The Uconnect Phone allows up to ten mobile phones or
audio devices to be linked to the system. Only one linked
(or paired) mobile phone and one audio device can be
used with the system at a time. The system is available in
English, Spanish, or French languages.

Uconnect Phone Button

The Uconnect Phone

button is used to

enter the phone mode and make calls, show
recent incoming and outgoing calls, view
phonebook along with other features. When

you push 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 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 Voice Command

button is also used to access

the Voice Commands for the Uconnect Voice Com-
mand features if your vehicle is equipped. Please see
the Uconnect Voice Command section for direction on
how to use the Voice Command

button.

The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the vehicles
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 so
equipped.

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.”

168

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

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 mo-
bile.”

• 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.

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

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

169

Smith.” For multiple inputs in the same phrase or sen-
tence, 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.

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 “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.
