How To Use Voice Command In RAM Trucks

RAM trucks are equipped with advanced technology to enhance convenience and safety, including a powerful voice command feature. This system allows you to control various vehicle functions, such as navigation, phone calls, and media playback, without taking your hands off the wheel. Learning how to use voice command effectively can make your driving experience smoother and more enjoyable. This guide will walk you through setting up and using the voice command feature in your RAM truck.

Step 1: Ensure Your Voice Command System is Ready

Before using the voice command feature, confirm that your RAM truck is equipped with the Uconnect system, which includes voice recognition capabilities. Follow these steps to prepare:

1. Check Compatibility: Ensure your vehicle has the Uconnect system installed. Refer to your owner’s manual for confirmation.
2. Start the Vehicle: Turn on the ignition or start your truck.
3. Pair Your Smartphone: If you want to access phone calls, text messaging, or media, pair your smartphone with the Uconnect system via Bluetooth.

Step 2: Activate the Voice Command Feature

To initiate voice commands:

1. Locate the Voice Command Button: The button is usually located on the steering wheel, marked with a microphone or voice icon.
2. Press the Button: Press the button once to activate the voice command system. Wait for the system to prompt you or display a listening icon on the touchscreen.

Step 3: Use Voice Commands for Common Tasks

The voice command feature in RAM trucks is versatile and can be used for various tasks. Here are some examples:

1. Phone Calls:
• Say, “Call [contact name],” to place a hands-free call.
• Use commands like “Redial” or “Call voicemail” for quick actions.
2. Navigation:
• Say, “Navigate to [address or location],” to set a destination.
• Use commands like “Find nearest gas station” or “Show route” for navigation assistance.
3. Media Playback:
• Control music playback with commands like “Play [song/artist/album]” or “Tune to [radio station].”
• Use commands such as “Pause,” “Next track,” or “Shuffle.”
4. Climate Control:
• Adjust the cabin temperature with commands like “Set temperature to 72 degrees” or “Turn on the defroster.”
5. Text Messaging:
• Say, “Send a text to [contact name],” followed by your message. The system will read the message back for confirmation before sending.
• Listen to incoming texts by saying, “Read text message.”

Step 4: Speak Clearly and Use System Prompts

For the best results:

• Speak clearly and use natural language.
• Wait for the system to finish prompts before issuing a command.
• Refer to the Uconnect voice command guide in your owner’s manual for specific phrases and tips.
