SMS Text Messaging and E-Mail

Certain phones can receive and send messages from your paired and connected phone. Visit Open Web Page (U.S.) or phone 888-528-7876 (U.S. and Canada) to check phone compatibility. Standard message rates apply with your phone service provider. This feature is limited while the vehicle is moving.

Receiving and Responding to Messages

When you receive a new message, a pop-up appears on the touchscreen. You can view the message when the vehicle is stopped. You can also reply to it using fixed phrases or call the sender.

  1. When the prompt appears, select Read.
  2. The message is displayed and the system reads it aloud.

    To reply: With the message open, select Reply, and choose one of the six available responses. Select Send to send the message. You cannot create a new text message or add, edit, or delete reply messages. Message sent appears once the message has been successfully sent.

    To call the sender: With the message open, select Dial.

Selecting an Account

If your phone has both text message and e-mail accounts, you can select only one of them at a time to be active and receive notifications.

  1. Go to the Phone Settings screen.
  2. Select the Text/Email tab, then Select Account.
  3. Select Text Messages or an e-mail account.
