Bluetooth Hands-Free

qWhat is Bluetooth Hands-Free?

Bluetooth Hands-Free Outline

By connecting a Bluetooth equipped
mobile telephone to the hands-free unit
equipped on the vehicle, making and
receiving calls are possible using the
voice recognition/hands-free switch
located on the steering wheel, and saying
the voice commands.

WARNING

Perform phonebook registration related
operations while the vehicle is parked:

Performing phonebook registration
while driving the vehicle could be a
distraction to your driving and result
in an unexpected accident. In
addition, a mistake in performing the
phonebook operation could result in
the loss of important data.

Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone

A Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone
communicates with the hands-free unit
equipped on the vehicle using radio
transmission (Bluetooth).
For example, if the mobile telephone is
placed in a coat pocket, the phone calls
can be made through your mobile service
without taking out and handling the
mobile telephone.

CAUTION

The types of mobile phones which
can be connected to the hands-free
unit are limited. Therefore, before
purchasing or changing your mobile
phone model, consult Mazda
Bluetooth Hands-Free Customer
Service or visit www.MazdaUSA.com/
bluetooth for a complete list of
compatible phones.
Mobile phones which can be
connected to the hands-free system
need to be compliant with Bluetooth
specifications and the appropriate
profile. However, even among these
Bluetooth phones are some which
will not connect with your Mazda or
will have limited function. Therefore,
consult Mazda Bluetooth Hands-Free
Customer Service for information
regarding mobile phone
compatibility:

qVoice

To prevent the deterioration in voice
recognition rate and voice quality, the
following points must be observed:

It is not necessary to face the
microphone or approach it. Speak the
voice commands while maintaining a
safe driving position.

Close the windows and/or the
moonroof to reduce loud noises from

function correctly or voice quality may
deteriorate under the following
conditions.

A passenger is speaking.

Driving with the window and/or the
moonroof open.

Driving on bumpy roads.

Noise outside of the vehicle is loud.
(Construction sites, inside tunnels,
excess oncoming traffic, or heavy
rain.)

Operation noise from turn signals,
wipers, or the horn is heard.

A/C airflow is strong or wind is
blowing on the microphone.

There is noise coming from cargo
loaded in the vehicle.

Voice commands may not be
recognized depending on the voice. If
the voice commands are not recognized
correctly, repeat the commands in a
louder voice, at a natural pace, as if
speaking to another person.

Dialects or different wording other than
hands-free prompts cannot be
recognized by voice recognition. Speak
in the wording specified by the voice
commands.

NOTE

If the voice recognition performance is not
satisfactory, refer to

Mobile telephone programming
(Pairing)

To use Bluetooth Hands-Free, a mobile
phone equipped with Bluetooth has to be
programmed to the hands-free unit using
the following procedure.
Up to seven Bluetooth equipped mobile
telephones can be programmed to the

NOTE

A mobile telephone can be programmed
only when the vehicle is parked. If the
vehicle starts to move, the pairing
procedure will end. Programming is
dangerous while driving - pair up your
device before you start driving. Park the
car in a safe place before programming.

Since the communication range of a
Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone is
about 10 meters (32 ft), if a mobile
telephone is placed within a 10-meter (32
ft) radius of the vehicle, it may be detected/
programmed unintentionally while another
telephone is being programmed.

After a mobile telephone is registered, the
system automatically identifies the phone.
By pressing the voice recognition/hands-
free switch again, or by pressing the voice
recognition/hands-free switch first after
switching the ignition from OFF to ACC,
the system reads out a voice guidance,

“XXXXXX - - - (Ex. “Stan's phone”)
(Phone tag) is connected

”. If two or more

telephones are registered, the one with the
highest priority is selected.

NOTE

Depending on the device, the registration
status may be lost after a certain period of
time. If this occurs, repeat the entire process
from Step 1.

NOTE

Practice this while parked until you are
confident you can do it while driving in a non-
taxing road situation. If you are not completely
comfortable, make all calls from a safe
parking position, and move out only when fully
under control and you can devote your eyes
and mind to driving.
