Bluetooth® hands-freeThis feature makes it possible to set up a wire-
less connection between a BluetoothŸ-ena-
bled cell phone and the vehicle’s audio system.
This enables the audio system to function as a
hands-free connection and allows you to
remote-control a number of the phone’s func-
tions. The microphone used by this system is
located in the ceiling console (2). The buttonsand other controls on the cell phone can
always be used regardless of whether or not
the phone is connected to the hands-free sys-
tem.
NOTE
Not all cell phones are fully compatible with
the hands-free system. A list of compatible
phones is available at your Volvo retailer or
at www.volvocars.us
WARNING
Never use the hands-free feature or any
other device in your vehicle in a way that
distracts you from the task of driving safely.
Distraction can lead to a serious accident.

access, navigate and make selections in the
hands-free system’s menus (see page 262).

ter console activates the hands-free system.
