Overview of center console Bluetooth® controls

The device must first be paired and connected to the infotainment system.

A hands-free connection to the infotainment system makes it possible to remotely control many of a cell phone's functions. The phone's controls can also be used at any time, even it is connected to the infotainment system.

When a cell phone or other device is connected, audio can be streamed to the infotainment system, see Media Bluetooth®. Toggle between the devices by pressing the TEL and MEDIA buttons to access the respective sources' functions.

 Note

Not all cell phones are fully compatible with the hands-free system. A list of compatible phones is available at your Volvo retailer or at www.volvocars.us

 Note

In order to show the connected cell phone's messages on the infotainment system's display, the cell phone has to accept mirroring when it is connected. Depending on the phone, the following will occur:

  • A pop-up window or notification will be displayed and accepted in the phone.
  • Accept mirroring in the settings for the phone's Bluetooth® connection to the infotainment system.

It may be necessary to disconnect and reconnect the phone from the infotainment for mirroring to take place.
