Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology. Via
Bluetooth, you can connect nearby mobile devices wirelessly to send and
receive data between connected devices. This enables you to use your
devices effectively.
To use Bluetooth, you must first connect a Bluetooth-enabled device to
your system, such as a mobile phone or an MP3 player. Ensure that the
device you want to connect supports Bluetooth.
\334Warning
Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting Bluetooth devices.
Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to personal injury
or death.
\333Note
0024On your system, you can use only Bluetooth Handsfree and Audio
features. Connect a mobile device that supports the Bluetooth
Handsfree or Audio feature.

functional compatibility, visit the KIA Motors America website (https://
