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 then 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.
