Privacy

While a call is in progress, tap Privacy and select setting:

  • Switch to mobile phone - the hands-free function will be disabled and the call will proceed on the cellular phone.
  • Driver focused - the microphone in the ceiling liner on the passenger side will be muted and the call will proceed using the vehicle's hands-free function.

 Note

For some phones, the phone's Bluetooth volume must be manually set to 100% for the audio volume in the vehicle to be sufficiently high. This setting needs to be adjusted for each connected phone. The setting is adjusted separately for phone calls and media streaming. The system will then remember the setting and it will not need to be repeated the next time the phone is connected.
