Hands-free phone system

The hands-free system enables calls to be
made and received without having to take
your hands off the steering wheel.

This system supports Bluetooth. Bluetooth
is a wireless data system that enables cell
phones to be used without being con-
nected by a cable or placed in a cradle.

The operating procedure of the phone is
explained here.

WARNING

. While driving, do not use a cell

phone or connect the Bluetooth
phone. Doing so may result in
loss of control of your vehicle
and cause an accident or serious
injury.

. Your audio unit is fitted with

Bluetooth antennas. People with
implantable cardiac pacemakers,
cardiac resynchronization ther-
apy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should
maintain a reasonable distance
between themselves and the
Bluetooth antennas. The radio
waves may affect the operation
of such devices.

. Before using Bluetooth devices,

users of any electrical medical
device other than implantable
cardiac pacemakers, cardiac re-
synchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardiover-
ter defibrillators should consult
the manufacturer of the device
for information about its opera-
tion under the influence of radio
waves. Radio waves could have
unexpected effects on the opera-
tion of such medical devices.

CAUTION

Do not leave your cell phone in the
vehicle. The temperature inside may
rise to a level that could damage the
phone.

NOTE

. If your cell phone does not support
Bluetooth, this system cannot function.

. In the following conditions, the sys-
tem may not function:

– The cell phone is turned off.

– The current position is outside
the communication area.
– The cell phone is not connected.

– The cell phone has a low battery.

. When using the hands free function
and other Bluetooth functions at the
same time, the following problems may
occur:

– The Bluetooth connection may
be cut.
– Noise may be heard when play-
ing back voice with the Bluetooth
function.

. The other party’s voice will be heard
from the front speakers. The audio/
visual system will be muted during
phone calls or when hands-free voice
commands are used.

. Talk alternately with the other party
on the phone. If both parties speak at
the same time, the other party may not
hear what has been said. (This is not a
malfunction.)

. Keep call volume down. Otherwise,
the other party

’s voice may be audible

outside the vehicle and voice echo may
increase. When talking on the phone,
speak clearly towards the microphone.

. The other party may not hear you
clearly when:

– Driving on an unpaved road.
(Making excessive traffic noise.)
– Driving at high speeds.

– The moonroof or windows are
open.
– The air conditioning vents are

pointed towards the microphone.
– The sound of the air conditioning
fan is loud.
– There is a negative effect on
sound quality due to the phone
and/or network being used.

. When another phone is connected,
the following registered data cannot be
read:

– Contact data

– Call history data

– All phone settings

. When selling or disposing of the
vehicle, initialize the data. Refer to

“Unit settings” F5-19.

. Once initialized, the data and set-
tings will be erased. Take extra caution
when initializing the data.

. The voice command system sup-
ports phone commands, so dialing a
phone number using your voice is
possible. Refer to

“Voice command

system

” F5-81.
