operation of the infotainment
system. .
When the vehicle is in motion,
some commands may not be
available so full attention may be
given to operating the vehicle.

The system may not work with
all cell phones. See “Pairing”in
this section later.
. If the cell phone has voice
dialing capability, learn to use
