Your vehicle is equipped with the
HandsFreeLink (HFL). HFL uses
Bluetooth technology as a wireless
link between it and your Bluetooth
compatible cell phone. When you are
in your vehicle and your phone is
linked to the HFL, you’ll enjoy safe,
hands-free phone use. The HFL is
available only in English.

When the HFL is in use, the sound
comes through the vehicle’s front
audio system speakers. If the audio
system is in use while making a call,
the HFL over-rides the audio system.
To change the volume level, use the
audio system volume knob.

The HFL can store up to 50 names
and phone numbers in its phonebook.
With a linked phone, you can then
automatically dial any name or
number in the phonebook.

Here are the main features of the
HFL. Instructions for using the HFL
begin on page

HFL recognizes simple voice
commands, such as phone numbers
and names. It uses these commands
to automatically dial, receive, and
store numbers. For more
information on voice control, see
Using Voice Control on page

Bluetooth is a registered trademark
of Bluetooh SIG, Inc.
Bluetooth is the wireless technology
that links your phone to the HFL.
The HFL uses a Class 3 Bluetooth,
which means the maximum range
between your phone and vehicle is
30 feet (10 meters).

To use the HFL, your phone must
have Bluetooth capability along with
the Hands Free Profile. This type of
phone is available through many
phone makers and cellular carriers.
You can also find a phone by visiting

With a linked phone, the HFL allows
you to send and receive calls in your
vehicle without holding the phone.

Here are the main components of
the HFL system:

The HFL microphone is on the
ceiling, between the front map lights
and the console buttons. On models
with navigation system, the
microphone is shared with the
navigation system.
