Connecting Bluetooth devices


Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology. Via Bluetooth, you can connect nearby mobile devices wirelessly to send and receive data between connected devices. This enables you to use your devices effectively.
To make a phone call or play audio from a Bluetooth device, check the following first:
Warning
Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting Bluetooth devices. Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to personal injury or death.
Note
On your system, you can use only Bluetooth Handsfree and Audio features. Connect a mobile device that supports the Bluetooth Handsfree or Audio feature.

Registering a device

For Bluetooth connections, first pair your device with your system to add it to the system′s list of Bluetooth devices.
Note
Depending on the vehicle model or specifications, displayed screens may vary.
  1. On the All menus screen, press Settings > Device connection > Device connection > Add new.
  1. If you are pairing a device with your system for the first time, you can also press the Call/Answer button on the steering wheel. Alternatively, on the All menus screen, press Phone.
  1. On the Bluetooth device you want to connect, activate Bluetooth, search for your vehicle′s system, and then select it.
  1. Check the system′s Bluetooth name, which is displayed in the new registration pop-up window on the system screen.
