Step-by-step instructions for connecting through the standard system
The pairing process begins with navigating the on-board computer menu. On the multimedia system screen, click on the icon Settings or phone icon. Depending on the firmware version, you may need to select Bluetooth or Devices. After this, the system will go into search mode for available gadgets.
A list of detected phones will appear on the screen. If your device is not in the list, click the "Add New Device" or "Search" button. At this stage, the smartphone should show a pairing request. Enter the digital code that appears on the car screen on your phone, or confirm that the codes match on both screens. Usually these are standard combinations like 0000 or 1234.
After successfully entering the code, the system will ask for permission to access contacts and call history. Click Allow on a smartphone. This is a critical step for full hands-free operation.
