Chevrolet Sonic Repair Manual: Bluetooth (Overview)

Chevrolet Sonic Repair Manual / Accessories / Navigation and Telematics / Bluetooth (Overview)

For vehicles equipped with Bluetooth capability, the system can interact with many cell phones, allowing:

Placement and receipt of calls in a hands-free mode.
Sharing of the cell phone’s address book or contact list with the vehicle.

To minimize driver distraction, before driving, and with the vehicle parked:

Become familiar with the features of the cell phone. Organize the phone book and contact lists clearly and delete duplicate or rarely used entries. If possible, program speed dial or other shortcuts.
Review the controls and operation of the infotainment system.
Pair cell phone(s) to the vehicle. The system may not work with all cell phones. See “Pairing” in this section.
If the cell phone has voice dialing capability, learn to use that feature to access the address book or contact list. See “Voice Pass-Thru” in this section.
See “Storing and Deleting Phone Numbers” in this section.

Warning:

When using a cell phone, it can be distracting to look too long or too often at the screen of the phone or the infotainment system. Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often could cause a crash resulting in injury or death. Focus your attention on driving.

Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a Bluetooth-capable cell phone with a Hands-Free Profile to make and receive phone calls. The infotainment system and voice recognition are used to control the system. The system can be used while in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY. The range of the Bluetooth system can be up to 9.1 m (30 ft). Not all phones support all functions and not all phones work with the Bluetooth system. See www.gm.com/bluetooth for more information about compatible phones.

Voice Recognition

The voice recognition system uses commands to control the system and dial phone numbers.

Noise: The system may not recognize voice commands if there is too much background noise. Do not point the center air vents directly upward.
When to Speak: A tone sounds to indicate that the system is ready for a voice command. Wait for the tone and then speak.
How to Speak: Speak clearly in a calm and natural voice.

Audio System: When using the Bluetooth system, sound comes through the vehicle's front audio system speakers and overrides the audio system. Use the O /VOL knob during a call to change the volume level. The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later calls. The system maintains a minimum volume level.
