Many phones will support an automatic download of the cellular phone’s phonebook. Since this method allows for up to 1000 numbers to be stored and entries are automatically assigned voice tags by the system, this is a useful function for easy dialing supported by the Voice Recognition system.

Transferring the handset phonebook

If your cellular phone supports automatic downloading, the system transfers the handset phonebook automatically by default. To ensure that this feature is activated, press the SETTING button on the instrument panel and select the “Phone” key. The “Auto Downloaded” selection should have the amber indicator next to the word ON activated. Select the “Auto Downloaded” key to toggle this feature on or off.

To transfer the handset phonebook to the vehicle manually, follow these steps:

1. Press the SETTING button on the instrument panel.
2. Select the “Phone” key.
3. Select the “Download Handset Phonebook” key.

Once the handset phonebook is transferred to the vehicle, it can be accessed by pressing the PHONE key on the instrument panel or the button on the steering wheel, then selecting the “Handset Phonebook” key.

Whether the handset phonebook is transferred manually or automatically, the process can take up to five minutes to complete, depending on the size of the handset phonebook. See the cellular phone’s owner’s manual for more details.
