Phone and Voice Pass-Through
Note: Using the system with the engine off
will drain the battery.
Note: As no common agreement exists, cell
phone manufacturers are able to implement
a variety of profiles in their Bluetooth
devices. Because of this, an incompatibility
can occur between the phone and hands
free system, which in some cases may
significantly degrade the system
performance. To avoid this situation, only
recommended phones should be used. To
check your cell phone's compatibility, refer
to your device's manual or visit the regional
Ford website.
This section describes the functions and
features of the Bluetooth cell phone hands
free system. The Bluetooth cell phone part of the
system provides interaction with the audio
system and your cell phone. It allows you
to use the audio system to make and
receive calls without having to hold your
cell phone.
The Voice Pass-Through allows access to
the voice recognition commands on your
cell phone.
Bluetooth Setup
Note:
Up to five Bluetooth devices can be
paired to the system.
Note: If there is an ongoing call when the
phone in use is selected as the new active
phone, the call is transferred to the vehicle
audio system.
Note: Even if connected to the system, your
phone can still be used in the usual way.
Note: A call will be disconnected if the
audio unit is switched off. If the ignition is
switched off the phone call will remain in
progress.
Before you can use your cell phone with
your vehicle it must be paired to the audio
