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
paired to the system.

If your phone is not ready for pairing or not found
by the system within three minutes, the system will

Once you have paired a phone, you can see it
displayed on the screen with one or two icons on the
