Connecting cell phones

The procedure for connecting a cell phone varies, depending on the phone itself, and on whether or not the phone has been previously connected.

If this is the first time the phone is to be connected to the hands-free system, proceed as follows:

> Add phone will be displayed. If one or more cell phones are already registered in the system, they will also be displayed.

3. Select Add phone.

4. Select one of the cell phones shown in the audio system’s (center console) display.
5. Using the cell phone’s keypad, enter the digits shown in the audio system’s display.

The cell phone can be manually disconnected from the hands-free system by pressing PHONE. The hands-free system is also deactivated when the ignition is switched off (or if the driver’s door is opened on vehicles equipped with the optional keyless drive).
