When you connect a Bluetooth® device you can do this from either the device or your Volvo. This article describes how to set up a connection (pair) from a Bluetooth® device (e.g. cell phone or tablet) to your Volvo.
Instructions
To create a Bluetooth® connection, follow the instructions below.
If a new device is connected with the same name as a previous device, the previous device may need to be deleted first.
Pair a Bluetooth® device with your Volvo
There are two different versions of the infotainment system. To see which version is in your vehicle, check if you have the 
connection button. If present, go to section Sensus Connect, otherwise go to section Sensus.
Sensus Connect
On the center console: Press TEL or MEDIA.
On the center console: Press OK/MENU and select Make car discoverable.
On your phone/media device: Go to Bluetooth®-Settings and search for devices.
On your phone/media device: Select your vehicle's name.
Ensure that the code displayed on your phone/media device is the same as the one shown on the screen in the car. If so, accept the code in both places.
In your phone: Accept or reject any choices regarding its phone book and messages (only applies to some phone models).
The phone/media device is now paired with your Volvo. If this method is unsuccessful, press EXIT and follow the instructions in Pair your Volvo with a Bluetooth® device or contact your Volvo dealer.
Sensus
On the center console: Turn on OK/MENU and Phone settings.
On the center console: Select Discoverable and press OK/MENU.
On your phone/media device: Select My Volvo Car on the phone/media device and follow the instructions to complete the procedure.
Enter a code of your choice in the external device.
Enter the same code in the vehicle using the centre console keypad and press OK/MENU.
The phone/media device is now paired with your Volvo. If this method is unsuccessful, press EXIT and follow the instructions in Pair your Volvo with a Bluetooth® device or contact your Volvo dealer.
Note
This procedure only has to be performed once. Your Volvo will then attempt to connect automatically to your device when it is within range of the system, as long as Bluetooth® is enabled.
Note
If your cell phone's operating system is updating, it may interrupt the connection between the telephone and vehicle. If this happens, delete the telephone from the list of paired telephones (see Remove a Bluetooth device from your Volvo) and repeat the pairing procedure described in this article.
