How do I make a call with the HandsFreeLink?

There are two ways to make a call using the HandsFreeLink® (HFL). You can either say a phone number, or you can call a number programmed into the HFL system.

To make a call to a phone number:

  1. Press and release the Talk button

  2. Say “call”

  3. Follow the prompts provided by the system

  4. Say the number you want to dial

  5. Follow the prompts and then say “call”

To make a call using a phone number already programmed into the HFL system:

  1. Press and release the Talk button

  2. Say “call”

  3. Say the name of the person stored in the system

  4. Confirm the name

Tip

You can also redial the last call, and you can import another phone book. If your car is equipped with a navigation system, you can also make a call through the nav system.
