Troubleshooting

There are several reasons why Bluetooth may not work in a Chevy Cruze, including:

Bluetooth compatibility: Make sure your device is compatible with the Cruze’s Bluetooth system.
Bluetooth settings: Check your phone’s Bluetooth settings to ensure that it is turned on and set to “discoverable” or “pairing” mode. Also, make sure your car’s Bluetooth is turned on and not already connected to another device.
Software updates: Make sure your phone’s software is up to date. If not, download and install the latest update.
Distance: Bluetooth range is limited, so make sure you are within range of the Cruze’s Bluetooth system.
