Focus your attention on driving. Vehicles with a Bluetooth system
can use a Bluetooth-capable cell
phone 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
while the ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY. The range of the
Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m
(30 ft). Not all phones support all
functions and not all phones work
with the Bluetooth system. See

access the contacts stored in the
cell phone to make a call.

access the phone numbers from the
Incoming Calls, Outgoing Calls, and
Missed Calls menus on your cell
phone to make a call.
To make a call using the
Contacts menu:
1. Touch the Phone icon on the Home Page to display the
Phone main menu.
2. Touch Menu to select Contactsor touch the Contacts option on
the lower bar of the Phone
display.
