Buick Encore: Bluetooth (Pairing and Using the Phone for 8 Inch Screen) / Pairing
A Bluetooth-enabled cell phone must be
paired to the Bluetooth system and then
connected to the vehicle before it can be
used. See the cell phone manufacturer's user
guide for Bluetooth functions before pairing
the cell phone.
Pairing Information
- A Bluetooth phone with music capability
can be paired to the vehicle as a phone
and a music player at the same time.
- Up to 10 devices can be paired to the
Bluetooth system.
- The pairing process is disabled when the
vehicle is moving.
- Pairing only needs to be completed once,
unless the pairing information on the cell
phone changes or the cell phone is
deleted from the system.
- One Bluetooth device can be connected to
the Bluetooth system at a time.
- If multiple paired cell phones are within
range of the system, the system connects
to the paired cell phone in the order that
they were last used in the system. To link
to a different paired phone, see
“Connecting to a Different Phone” later in
this section.
Pairing a Phone

phone to be paired to the vehicle. See
the cell phone manufacturer's user guide
for information on this process.

the PIN. After the PIN is successfully
entered or the code is confirmed, the
system responds with “<Device name>

phone off or remove the phone battery
