Using Bluetooth
Connecting Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology. Via
Bluetooth, you can connect nearby mobile devices wirelessly to send and
receive data between connected devices. This enables you to use your
devices effectively.
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.
\334Warning
Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting Bluetooth devices.
Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to personal injury
or death.
\333Note
\225On your system, you can use only Bluetooth Handsfree and Audio
features. Connect a mobile device that supports the Bluetooth
Handsfree or Audio feature.
\225For more information on Bluetooth-enabled devices and their
functional compatibility, visit the KIA Motors America website ( https://
www.kia.com).

it to the system′s list of Bluetooth devices. You can register up to five

to your system prior to other devices.
\225If you grant priority to the Bluetooth device, it will be connected
automatically to the system when you turn on the system.

\334Warning
\225Driving 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.
\225Park your vehicle in a safe location before connecting any Bluetooth
devices. Distracted driving can cause a traffic accident and lead to
personal injury or death.
\225Never dial a phone number or pick up your mobile phone while
driving. Use of a mobile phone may distract your attention, making
it difficult to recognize external conditions and reducing the ability to
cope with unexpected situations, which may lead to an accident.
[Making a call
If your mobile phone is connected to the system, you can make a call
by selecting a name from your call history or contacts list. You can also
enter a phone number on the keypad.
1 On the Home screen, touch All Menus > Phone.
\225 Alternatively, press the [] button on the steering wheel.
