Bluetooth to another media player. The
Bluetooth function is on when Android Auto
is used.

connect your device the icon will be illumi-
nated. If the icon is not visible at all then the
car does not have support for connecting a
device for this purpose.

Phone

A phone with Bluetooth can be connected wire-
lessly to the car's built-in hands-free system.
The audio and media system acts as hands-free,
with the facility to remotely control a selection of
the phone's functions. The phone can still be
operated with its own keys even if it is connected
to the car.
When a phone has been connected online and
connected with the car, it can be used make
calls, send/receive messages, play back media
wirelessly and be used as an Internet connection.
The phone is operated from the centre display,
but also via voice recognition and the app menu,
which are accessed from the right-hand steering
wheel keypad.
