Using Bluetooth

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.
ÜWarning
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.
ÛNote
•On your system, you can use only Bluetooth Handsfree and Audio
features. Connect a mobile device that supports the Bluetooth
Handsfree or Audio feature.
•For more information on Bluetooth-enabled devices and their
functional compatibility, visit the KIA Motors America website (https://

device.

Using a Bluetooth phone
You can use Bluetooth to talk on the phone hands free. View call
information on the system screen, and make or receive calls safely and
conveniently via the vehicle′s built-in microphone and speakers.
ÜWarning
•Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that
may lead to an accident, severe bodily injury, or death. The driver’s
primary responsibility is the safe and legal operation of the vehicle,
and the use of any vehicle systems, including the touch screen and
steering wheel controls, which take the driver’s eyes, attention, and
focus away from the safe operation of the vehicle, or which are not
permissible by law, should never be used during the operation of the
vehicle.
•Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting any Bluetooth
devices. Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to
personal injury or death.

driving. Use of a mobile phone may distract your attention, making
it difficult to recognize external conditions and reducing the ability to
cope with unexpected situations, which may lead to an accident.
