Bluetooth (Overview)
The Bluetooth-capable system can
interact with many mobile devices,
allowing:
.Placement and receipt of calls in

book or contact list with the
vehicle.
To minimize driver distraction,
before driving, and with the vehicle
parked:
. Become familiar with the
features of the mobile device.
Organize the phone book and
contact lists clearly and delete
duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial
or other shortcuts.
. Review the controls and
operation of the infotainment
system. .
Pair mobile device(s) to the
vehicle. The system may not
work with all mobile devices.

Vehicles with a Bluetooth system
can use a Bluetooth-capable mobile
device with a Hands-Free Profile to
make and receive phone calls. The
infotainment system and voice
recognition are used to control the
system. The system can be used
