receive data between connected devices. This enables you to use your

To use Bluetooth, you must first connect a Bluetooth-enabled device to
your system, such as a mobile phone or an MP3 player. Ensure that the
device you want to connect supports Bluetooth.

Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to personal injury
or death.

features. Connect a mobile device that supports the Bluetooth
Handsfree or Audio feature.

\334Warning
0024Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that
may lead to an accident, severe bodily injury, or death. The driver′s
primary responsibility is the safe and legal operation of the vehicle,
and the use of any vehicle systems, including the touch screen and
steering wheel controls, which take the driver′s eyes, attention, and
focus away from the safe operation of the vehicle, or which are not
permissible by law, should never be used during the operation of the
vehicle.
