 Bluetooth ® connection 18

In order to use a Bluetooth® device, either a tel-
ephone or portable audio player (depending on
the vehicle), from your multimedia system, please
follow the instructions below.
Pairing a Bluetooth®
device
Principle
Pairing will enable the multimedia system to rec-
ognise and store your Bluetooth® device. This is
the first step to carry out in order to use your tel-
ephone or portable audio player.
Note: you can pair several devices to your multi-
media system, but only one device can be used
at a time (a single telephone or a single portable
audio player).
Pairing steps
Pairing is carried out directly on your device (refer
to its user instructions):
– check that your multimedia system and your
Bluetooth® device are on;
– activate the Bluetooth® connection on your
device;
– in the multimedia system settings menu, select
the field which allows you to store or pair a
Bluetooth® device;
– launch a search for Bluetooth® equipment from
your device;
– select “My-Radiosat” or “MY-CAR” from the list
of devices found;
– enter the pairing code using your device’s keypad
(it will appear on the multimedia system screen,
otherwise refer to the user instructions for the
system).
The device is paired.
Connecting a Bluetooth®
device
Your Bluetooth® device must be connected to the
multimedia system for all its functions to be ac-
cessible.
To connect your device, select it from the list of de-
vices stored in the multimedia system.
The multimedia system may also automatically rec-
ognise your device once it is switched on.
Using a Bluetooth®
device
With your Bluetooth® device connected, you can
use some functions directly via the controls on
your audio system.
You can also:
– for a portable audio system: select a music track
or an album…;
– for a telephone: display the telephone address
book, call a contact from the telephone address
book, update the telephone address book…

– above 30 mph (50 km/h), maintain a steady
speed.
3 Control acceleration and speed
– Up to 30 mph (50 km/h), accelerate so that 5th

– beyond 30 mph (50 km/h), accelerate moder-
ately and limit the speed.

speed;
– when driving uphill, slow down without affect-
ing the traffic flow.

5 Use the engine conscientiously
– Switch off the engine if stopped for more than
30 seconds;
– do not run the engine at idle speed (to raise the
temperature) before driving, even in winter.
6 Optimise your use of the vehicle
– Use the heating and air conditioning system
only when necessary:
– limit the difference between the interior and ex-
terior temperature to 5°C;
– check the tyre pressures every month;
– do not leave unnecessary loads in the vehicle.
