Overview
A phone equipped with Bluetooth can be
wirelessly connected to the vehicle's inte-
grated hands-free system.
The audio and media system offers hands-free
functionality for remotely controlling a number
of the phone's features. The phone's inte-
grated controls can also be used, even when it
is connected to the vehicle.
A maximum of 20 Android devices can be
stored at the same time, which may be
worth noting if many people share the
vehicle, e.g. in a car pool. When the list is
full and a new device is connected, the
oldest one will be deleted. A factory reset
must be performed to delete the list.
•
When the phone has been paired and con-
nected to the vehicle, it can be used as an
Internet connection or to make or receive
calls, send or receive text messages or wire-
lessly play music.
