In the event of problems with connection via Bluetooth-connected phone

If you experience difficulties when connecting a phone to the car via Bluetooth

  • Check that the phone battery is sufficiently charged and that the phone is switched on.
  • Check that you have Bluetooth switched on in both the phone and the car.
  • Check that you have established a Bluetooth connection and have connected the car to the phone to be used.
  • If possible, try to connect another phone to the car via Bluetooth in order to check whether the problem is in the device or in the car.

If problems persist:

  1. Clear all previously added phones in the Bluetooth settings in the car.
  2. Restart the phone you want to connect.
  3. Try to connect the phone again.

In the event of problems with connection via the car's built-in modem1

If connection via the car's built-in modem works poorly due to poor coverage, for example, try connecting via Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth-connected phone instead.

 Note

If you connect to the Internet through several different sources at the same time, such as if the car has Internet via built-in modem, and you access the Internet via a Bluetooth-connected phone at the same time, these sources are used in the following order of priority. Firstly, the connection via Wi-Fi networks is used; secondly, via Bluetooth-connected phone; and thirdly, via the car's built-in modem.
