Pairing

A Bluetooth enabled cell phone must be paired to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system first and then connected to the vehicle before it can be used. See the cell phone manufacturers user guide for Bluetooth functions before pairing the cell phone. If a Bluetooth phone is not connected, calls will be made using OnStar® Hands-Free Calling, if available. Refer to the OnStar owner’s guide for more information.

Pairing Information:

• Up to five cell phones can be paired to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system.

• The pairing process is disabled when the vehicle is moving.

• The in-vehicle Bluetooth system automatically links with the first available paired cell phone in the order the phone was paired.

• Only one paired cell phone can be connected to the in-vehicle Bluetooth system at a time.

• Pairing should only need to be completed once, unless changes to the pairing information have been made or the phone is deleted.

To link to a different paired phone, see Linking to a Different Phone later in this section.
