Pairing and connecting

Introduction to the subject

To connect a telephone to the Infotainment system, the two devices must be

paired via Bluetooth

Depending on the Infotainment model, up to 20 external devices can be paired

with the device. After the maximum number is reached, the pairing of the next

external device will replace that of the device that has not been used for the

longest period of time.
Connection to an already paired telephone is established automatically after

the ignition is switched on. Or, it is sufficient to search for the phone in the list

of paired devices.
The range of the telephone connection to the Infotainment system is limited

to the passenger compartment.
