Phone

Bluetooth (Overview)

If equipped with Bluetooth® capability, the system can interact with many Bluetooth phones, PDAs, or other devices to:

• Place and receive hands-free calls.
• Transmit hands-free data.
• Play audio streaming files.

The device must be paired first. See “Pairing” under Bluetooth (Infotainment Controls) Bluetooth (Overview) on page 7-19 or Bluetooth (Infotainment Controls) on page 7-21.

To minimize driver distraction, before driving, and with the vehicle parked:

• Become familiar with the features of the cell phone.

   

  Organize the phone book and contact lists clearly and delete duplicate or rarely used entries.

  If possible, program speed dial or other shortcuts.

• Review the controls and operation of the infotainment system.
• Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle.

   

  The system may not work with all cell phones. See “Pairing” in this section.

• See “Storing and Deleting Phone Numbers” in this section.

Warning

When using a cell phone, it can be distracting to look too long or too often at the screen of the phone or the infotainment system.

Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often could cause a crash resulting in injury or death.

Focus your attention on driving.

Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands-Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The infotainment system is used to control the system. The system can be used while in ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 9-18. Not all phones support all functions and not all phones work with the Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information about compatible phones.

There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth wireless technology in some locations.

Due to the variety of Bluetooth devices and their firmware versions, the device may respond differently when performing over Bluetooth.

Refer to the cell phone manufacturer’s user guide for questions about the phone's Bluetooth functionality.

Bluetooth (Infotainment Controls)

To use infotainment controls to access the menu system, see Overview on page 7-3.

Pairing

A Bluetooth-enabled cell phone must be paired to the Bluetooth system and then connected to the vehicle before it can be used. See your cell phone manufacturer's user guide for Bluetooth functions before pairing the cell phone. If a Bluetooth phone is not connected, calls will be made using OnStar Hands-Free Calling, if available. See OnStar Overview on page 14-1.

Pairing Information

• Pairing only needs to be completed once, unless the pairing information on the cell phone changes or the cell phone is deleted from the system.
• Only one paired cell phone can be connected to the Bluetooth system at a time.
• If multiple paired cell phones are within range of the system, the system connects to the first available paired cell phone in the order that they were first paired to the system. To link to a different paired phone, see “Linking to a Different Phone” later in this section.
