Phone Setup

Your Bluetooth-compatible phone must be paired to 
HFL before you can make and receive hands-free 
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 
connected to HFL.

•

If your phone is not ready for pairing or not found 
by the system within three minutes, the system will 
time out and returns 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.

When pairing is completed, an Automatic Phone 
Sync prompt appears. Select On if you want your call 
history and phonebook automatically imported to 
HFL.
