Pairing a Phone
1. Make sure Bluetooth has been enabled
on the cell phone before starting the
pairing process.
2. Touch the Phone icon on the Home Page.
3. If no mobile device is connected, touch
Manage Phones and the Phones screen
will display.
If another mobile device is connected
already, touch Settings, Connections, and
then Phones.
4. Touch Add Phone.
If a previously added phone is
disconnected, the "Add Phone" card will
just be a "+" card.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to pair the
cell phone.
6. Follow the instructions on the cell phone
to confirm the six-digit code showing on
the infotainment display and touch Pair.
The code on the cell phone and
infotainment display needs to be
acknowledged for a successful pair.
7. Start the pairing process on the cell
phone to be paired to the vehicle. See
the cell phone manufacturer's user guide
for information on this process. Once the
cell phone is paired, it will show as
Connected.
8. If the vehicle name does not appear on
your cell phone, there are a few ways to
start the pairing process over:
Make sure there is not an entry for
the vehicle under the previously
connected list. If the vehicle and cell
phone were previously paired and
one still remembers the other, it will
not identify as a new device when
searching.
Turn the Bluetooth off and on the
device.
Go back to the beginning of the
Phone menus on the infotainment
display and restart the pairing
process.
Turn the cell phone off and then
back on.
Reset the cell phone, but this step
should be done as a last effort.
9. If the cell phone prompts to accept
connection or allow phone book
download, touch Always Accept and
Allow. The phone book may not be
available if not accepted.
Infotainment System
