System Operation
Initial operation
Prior to using the system for the first time, the Bluetooth TM mobile phone that is
to be used must be paired with the ULF control module. This pairing procedure
is necessary in order to assign the digital code of the mobile phone to the ULF
control module installed in the vehicle. The pairing procedure is only required
when a new phone is introduced to the ULF system for the very first time or the
list of paired devices is cleared form the memory of the ULF module, it does not
need to be performed every time the phone is used with the system.
After pairing, the mobile phone is recognized automatically by the ULF control
module within 45 seconds after it is introduced into the vehicle and the ignition is
turned on.
Note: Depending on the mobile phone manufacturer, particular care must be
taken prior to initial operation to ensure that no headset is coupled with the
mobile phone. Various devices may interpret the ULF control module as a
headset and request deactivation of the headset. Please refer to the operating
instructions of the mobile phone for detailed information.
Pairing Procedure
The pairing procedure that must be initiated through the phone will differ
corresponding to the different menu configurations of the various Bluetooth
TM
mobile phones on the market. The user’s manual of the phone manufacturer
should always be referenced for specific steps on how to activate the
Bluetooth TM feature and to pair/link devices.
The following steps are generalized steps that should help in activating the
Bluetooth TM function of most phones:
IN VEHICLE:
1. Depress the send /receive
(pairing) button located in the
center console, for at least 1
second prior to switching on the
ignition and continue to hold the
button down for approximately 2-
3 seconds after the ignition is
turned on.
