Connecting a phone to the car via

Bluetooth for the first time

Pair a Bluetooth-enabled phone to the vehicle to
make calls, send/receive text messages and
wirelessly play media from the vehicle, or con-
nect the vehicle to the Internet.

Two Bluetooth devices can be connected at the
same time, but in that case, only one will be used
for wireless playback. The most recently paired
phone will be automatically connected to make
calls, send/receive text messages, play media or
use as an Internet connection. It is possible to
change what the phone is used for under

Bluetooth Devices

via the settings menu in the

center display's Top view.

After the device has been connected/registered
for the first time via Bluetooth, the device no
longer needs to be visible/searchable. It just
needs to have Bluetooth activated. A maximum of
20 paired Bluetooth devices can be stored in the
vehicle.

No or poor Internet connection

Factors affecting the Internet connection.

The amount of data transmitted depends on the
services or apps currently in use in the vehicle.
Streaming music, for example, involves the trans-
mission of a large amount of data, and this
requires a good connection and a strong signal.

Phone to vehicle

Internet connection speed may vary depending
on the location of the cellular phone in the vehi-
cle. Move the phone closer to the center display
to increase signal strength. Make sure that noth-
ing is between the phone and center display that
could be blocking the signal.

Phone to network operator

The speed of the mobile network varies depend-
ing on the coverage in the vehicle's current loca-
tion. Coverage may be poorer in e.g. tunnels,
mountainous areas, deep valleys or indoors. Con-
nection speed is also dependent on the subscrip-
tion you have with your service provider.

If you experience any problems with data traf-
fic, contact your network service provider.

This does not apply when the vehicle is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
