Important
Make sure that you comply with all local laws and regulations regarding mobile phone use while driving.
Note
You need to connect your phone to the car via Bluetooth and accept the corresponding phone settings permissions to be able to use these features.
Calling
There are some different ways you can make and receive phone calls while in your car. You can:
- answer and decline incoming calls using the centre display
- call someone while driving by asking the digital assistant to make the call for you
- use the in-car phone app via the centre display to call contacts or type a phone number in using the on-screen keypad.
When you have an ongoing call, it will be shown in the centre display. If you open the in-car phone app when you have an ongoing call, you can:
- mute and unmute your microphone
- change the sound input and output, such as through the car or your mobile phone's microphone and speakers
- end the call
- put the call on hold by pausing it
- use the keypad to input numbers, such as when asked to select an option in a service menu
.
If you receive a second phone call while in the middle of an ongoing call, answering the second phone call automatically puts the first one on hold. You can switch between the two calls 
or create a conference call and speak to both callers at the same time 
.
Messaging
You can write and send text messages via the digital assistant using voice control1. If you receive a text message, a notification will appear in the centre display with the following options:
- Play to hear the digital assistant read the message out loud.
- Mute to stop receiving new message notifications from this specific conversation for the rest of the time you are in the car.
You can also ignore the notification and view it later in the notification centre.
Looking through and searching for your contacts
Use the in-car phone app to search for a specific contact by:
- pressing the search symbol
- going to the contacts tab and typing their name
- going to the keypad tab and putting their number in.
You can also just ask the digital assistant to find the contact you are looking for.
