PHONE COMPATIBILITY
While yourBluetoothsystem supports a variety of features, many are
dependent upon the functionality of your cellular phone withBluetooth
wireless technology. If there is an incompatibility, the performance of
your system may be significantly degraded.
To see if your phone is compatible with your Bluetooth system,
please visit the www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect website and click on
“Check Bluetooth Compatibility”.
Getting started
Pairing (bonding) your phone
The first thing you must do to use the system is to pair (bond) your
Bluetoothenabled cellular phone with your vehicle’sBluetoothsystem.
This process allows your phone to communicate with the hands-free
system and ensures that other phones cannot inadvertently do so. You
may pair/bond up to six phones with yourBluetoothsystem.
To pair/connect your phone:
1. Ensure that yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone and audio system
are on and your vehicle is in Park (P).
2. Press MENU repeatedly until ADV MENU appears in the display.
3. Press and hold MENU to enter into the Advanced menu selections.
4. Press MENU repeatedly until BT ON/OFF appears in the display. If the
feature is set to OFF, press > so BT ON appears in the display.
5. Ensure that your phone is not in privacy mode. Then, follow the
instructions in your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into
Bluetoothdiscovery mode.
6. Select FORD AUDIO when it appears in your phone’s display.
7. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone
keypad. If no code number is shown on the display, enter the Bluetooth
PIN number 0000 or any number using the phone keypad. Now enter the
Bluetooth PIN number shown on the vehicle display.
The phone you have just paired/bonded is now considered the ’active’
phone. When the vehicle ignition is turned on, theBluetoothsystem will
automatically begin so search for paired phones, and will attempt to
re-connect to the phone last paired/bonded with the system. If this
phone is not available, the system will then automatically search for the
next most recently connected phone.
