Chevrolet Cruze Infotainment System: Bluetooth

Overview

For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth capability, the system can interact with many cell phones and devices, allowing: • Placing and receiving hands-free calls.

• Sharing of the cell phone’s address book or contact list with the vehicle. The phone book will only display when that phone is connected.

•  Placing outgoing calls by voice recognition.

The system can be used while in ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory Power (RAP). The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m (30 ft).

The radio can connect to most Bluetooth-enabled phones.

Available features and functions may be dependent on the device.

• Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice.
