Phone

A phone equipped with Bluetooth can be wire-
lessly connected to the vehicle's integrated
hands-free system.

The audio and media system offers hands-free
functionality for remotely controlling a number of
the phone's features. The phone's integrated
controls can also be used, even when it is con-
nected to the vehicle.

When the phone has been paired and connected
to the vehicle, it can be used as an Internet con-
nection or to make or receive calls, send or
receive text messages or wirelessly play music.

The phone is controlled from the center display,
and the App menu (accessed using the right-side
steering wheel keypad) and voice commands can
also be used to control certain functions.
