CREATING A DRIVER PROFILE
Creating a Driver Profile provides many benefits beyond just pairing a phone. The profile
records and remembers station presets, sound preferences, home and work address (if
equipped with navigation), phone favorites, screen icons and placement, and the
background wallpaper.
To create a driver profile:
1. On the Home screen, select “Settings”.
Then, in the General menu, select “Driver
Profile”.
2. Select “Add New Profile”.
3. Select “Enter Name” to display the
keyboard screen, and then type your name.
Now select “Next” on this screen and the
following screen.

PAIRING A PHONE
To begin using your Bluetooth®hands-free device you must first
pair your phone with the system. Phone pairing provides access to
the contact list on your phone and allows you to use the voice
recognition system to make and receive calls. The system can also
read incoming text messages, as well as allowing you send short
messages to reply to texts. The system automatically reconnects to
your Bluetooth
®device and will remember your driver profile.
Visitwww.subaru.com/engineering/starlink/multimedia.htmlfor
more information on what is available by connecting a phone to the
Touchscreen.
For instructions on how to pair your phone to the Touchscreen, see page 111 for
Android devices or page 115 for Apple devices.
MAKING A CALL
Once your phone is paired, you can make a call
through voice recognition by pressing the “Voice
Recognition Switch” on the steering wheel. After
pressing the “Voice Recognition Switch”, wait for
the “Voice Guidance” screen to appear on the
Touchscreen and say “Call [name and phone type]”
or “Dial [number]”.
To make a call from the Touchscreen, start by pushing the “Home” button and then select
“Phone”. After the phone screen displays, select the method you would like to use to make
a call.
• Overview – Allows you to call the last number.
