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
vehicle.
NOTE
lA 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.
lSince 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.
1. Activate the Bluetooth application of
the mobile telephone.
NOTE
For the operation of the mobile telephone,
refer to its instruction manual.
2. Press the voice recognition/hands-free
switch with a short press.

owner's manual of your mobile device, and
try those numbers if necessary.
lRecord the code as it will be used to
program your phone in Step 16.

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.
qMaking a Call Using a Telephone
Number
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.
