Phone Setup

Your Bluetooth-compatible phone must be paired to the system before you can make and receive handsfree calls.

Phone Pairing Tips:

You cannot pair your phone while the vehicle is moving.
Up to six phones can be paired.
Your phone's battery may drain faster when it is paired to the system.
If your phone is not ready for pairing or not found by the system within three minutes, the system will time out and return to idle.

Once you have paired a phone, you can see it displayed on the screen with one or two icons on the right side.

These icons indicate the following:

: The phone can be used with HFL.
: The phone is compatible with Bluetooth Audio.

If there is an active connection to Apple CarPlay, pairing of additional Bluetooth-compatible devices is unavailable and Add Bluetooth Device is grayed out from the Bluetooth Device List screen.
