Answering a call via Bluetooth


You can accept or reject calls and use convenient functions during a call.

Accepting or rejecting a call

When a call comes in, a notification pop-up window of the incoming call appears on the system screen.
To answer the call, press Accept.
  • Alternatively, press the Call/Answer button on the steering wheel.
To reject the call, press Reject.
Warning
  • Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting any Bluetooth devices. Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to personal injury or death.
  • Never pick up your mobile phone while driving. Use of a mobile phone may distract your attention, making it difficult to recognize external conditions and reducing the ability to cope with unexpected situations, which may lead to an accident.
Note
  • Depending on the mobile phone type, call rejection may not be supported.
  • Once your mobile phone is connected to the system, the call sound may be output through the vehicle′s speakers even after you exit the vehicle if the phone is within the connection range. To end the connection, disconnect the device from the system or deactivate Bluetooth on the device.
  • You can activate privacy mode by pressing Privacy Mode on the incoming call pop-up window. In privacy mode, contact information will not be displayed. To deactivate privacy mode, press Menu > Privacy Mode on the Bluetooth phone screen.
