ible phone to the BluetoothHands-Free Phone
System.
NOTE:
The pairing procedure must be performed
when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle
starts moving during the procedure, the
procedure will be cancelled. Also, see
“Pairing procedure” earlier in this section
for additional information.Up to 5 phones can be paired. If you try to pair a
sixth phone, the system announces that you must
first delete one phone or replace an existing
phone.
If you try to pair a phone that has already been
paired to your vehicle’s system, the system an-
nounces the name the phone is already using.
The pairing procedure will then be cancelled.
When prompted by the system, choose from the
following commands:
●“New phone” — Refer to “Pairing a phone”
earlier in this section.
●“Replace phone” — The system announces
the names of the phones already paired and
asks which you would like to replace.
Once you say the name of the phone you
