SD card. It may need to be
reformatted or replaced. If the issue
persists, please see your dealer.
To begin, insert a FAT32 formatted SD
card, Class 10 required, 8, 16, or 32 GB

Bluetooth (Overview)
The Bluetooth-capable system can
interact with many mobile devices,
allowing:

hands-free mode.
.Sharing of the device’s address 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. See
“Pairing”later in
this section.
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 while the ignition is on or in
ACC/ACCESSORY. The range of the
Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m
