General

A mobile phone equipped with Bluetooth



can

be connected wirelessly to the Infotainment

system

. The infotainment system then works

handsfree, with the option to control a range of

the mobile phone's functions remotely. The

microphone used is located by the driver's sun

visor (2). The mobile phone can be operated by

its own keys irrespective of whether or not it is

connected.

NOTE

Only a selection of mobile phones are fully

compatible with the handsfree function.

Volvo recommends that you seek assis-

tance from an authorised Volvo dealer or

visit for information on

compatible phones.

Menus

The menus in TEL are controlled from the cen-

tre console and the steering wheel keypad*.

For general information on menu navigation,

see page 238 and menu overview, see

needs to be activated as visible/searchable.

It is possible to have two Bluetooth



devices

connected simultaneously. One phone and

one media device, which it is possible to switch

between, see page 264 or see page 260. It is

also possible to use the phone while streaming

audio files from a connected device.

Connecting an external device takes place in

different ways depending on whether or not the

device has been connected previously.

To connect a device for the first time, follow the

connection alternatives below.

There are two possible ways of connecting

devices, either search for the external device

from the car, or search for the car from the

external device. If one option does not work

then try with the other.

The car also has a built-in phone book. This

contains all the contacts stored in the car

irrespective of which phone was con-

nected when saving them. These contacts

are visible for all users, regardless of the

mobile phone that is connected to the car.

If a contact is saved in the car then the

symbol

is shown in front of the con-

tact in the phone book.

Changes made from the car to a record in

the mobile phone's telephone book will

result in a new record in the car's telephone

book, i.e. changes will not be saved to the

phone. From the car, this will now look like

you have double records, with different

icons. Note also that when a shortcut num-

ber is saved or a change to a contact is

made, this will result in a new record in the

car's phone book.

All use of the phone book requires that the

symbol appears at the top of the TV

screen and that the handsfree function is in
