Connecting a Bluetooth device
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology. The Bluetooth communication

For a device that is not registered to the system, > see "
Registering a device."
 A registered device will automatically connect to the system when you bring it near
the system. If it does not automatically connect,

ÝWarning
 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 the vehicle at a safe place before connecting a Bluetooth device to the system. It
may take the driver attention off the road and cause a traffic accident which can result in
damages, injuries, and/or death.
