Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to Infotainment is limited to the passenger com-
partment.
To connect a telephone with Infotainment, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
ABCThe pairing process is dependent on the number of phones that are already
connected or by using the SIM card inserted in the external module (Columbus)
» page 154 .
Depending on the Infotainment model, up to 20 external devices can be paired
with the device. After reaching the maximum number, the pairing of the next
external device will replace that of the device that has not been used for the
longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired
phones and make the connection.WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to Infotainment only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of an accident!
