An antenna for the Bluetooth® connection is built in the instru-
ment panel. The condition of the Bluetooth® connection may
deteriorate and the system may not function when a Bluetooth®
phone is used in the following conditions and/or places:
The cellular phone is obstructed by certain objects (such as
when it is behind the seat or in the glove box and console
box).
The cellular phone touches or is covered with metal materi-
als.
Leave the Bluetooth
® phone in a place where the condition of
the Bluetooth® connection is good.
When the cellular phone is not connected, “No connect” is dis-
played.

2. TELEPHONE (HANDS-FREE SYSTEM FOR CELLULAR PHONE)
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 cellular phones to be
used without being connected by a
cable or placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the tele-
phone is explained here.
For registering and setting of the tele-
phone, see “TELEPHONE SET-
TINGS” on page 165 and
“Bluetooth
® SETTINGS” on page
187.
CAUTION
Use a cellular phone or connect the
Bluetooth® phone only when safe and
legal to do so.
Your audio unit is fitted with Blue-
tooth
® antennas. People with
implanted pacemakers or cardiac
defibrillators should maintain a rea-
sonable 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 implanted pacemakers and
implanted cardiac defibrillators
should consult the manufacturer of
the device for information about its
operation under the influence of radio
waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of
such medical devices.
NOTICE
Do not leave your cellular phone in
the vehicle. The temperature inside
may rise to a level that could damage
the telephone.
INFORMATION
If your cellular phone does not sup-
port Bluetooth®, this system cannot
function.
In the following conditions, the sys-
tem may not function:
• The cellular phone is turned off.
• The current position is outside the
communication area.
• The cellular phone is not connected.
• The cellular phone has a low battery.
When using Bluetooth
® audio and
hands-free at the same time, the fol-
lowing problems may occur:
• The Bluetooth
® connection may be
cut.
• Noise may be heard on the
Bluetooth
® audio playback.

7. Bluetooth® AUDIO OPERATION
Bluetooth is a trademark owned by
Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
The Bluetooth® audio system en-
ables users to enjoy listening to mu-
sic that is played on a portable player
on the vehicle speakers via wireless
communication.
This audio system supports
Bluetooth
®, a wireless data system
capable of playing portable audio
music without cables. If your porta-
ble player does not support
Bluetooth
®, the Bluetooth® audio
system will not function.
CAUTION
Do not operate the player’s controls
or connect to the Bluetooth® audio
system while driving.
Your audio unit is fitted with Blue-
tooth
® antennas. People with
implanted pacemakers or cardiac
defibrillators should maintain a rea-
sonable 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 implanted pacemakers and
implanted cardiac defibrillators
should consult the manufacturer of
the device for information about its
operation under the influence of radio
waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of
such medical devices.
NOTICE
Do not leave your portable player in
the vehicle. In particular, high tem-
peratures inside the vehicle may dam-
age the portable player.

1. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATION
ISF_IS_ISC_Navi_EE
9. AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM OPERATING HINTS
Fading and drifting stations: Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 25
miles (40 km). Once outside this range,
you may notice fading and drifting,
which increase with the distance from
the radio transmitter. They are often ac-
companied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for 2 signals to reach
the vehicle’s antenna at the same time.
If this happens, the signals will cancel
each other out, causing a momentary
flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees
or other large objects. Increasing the
bass level may reduce static and flutter-
ing.
Station swapping: If the FM signal be-
ing listened to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, the radio may
tune in the second station until the orig-
inal signal can be picked up again.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the audio/video
system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/video system.
• Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc slot.
INFORMATION
The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio/video
system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio recep-
tion does not mean there is a problem
with the radio — it is just the normal
result of conditions outside the vehi-
cle.
For example, nearby buildings and
terrain can interfere with FM recep-
tion. Power lines or telephone wires
can interfere with AM signals. And
of course, radio signals have a limit-
ed range. The farther the vehicle is
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the vehi-
cle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.

The diagram shows the detection range
of the sensors. Note that the sensors
cannot detect obstacles that are
extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object
etc.There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
A sensor is frozen.
A sensor is covered in any way.
The vehicle is leaning considerably to
one side.
On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass
The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due
to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines,
air brakes of large vehicles, or other
loud noises producing ultrasonic
waves.
There is another vehicle equipped with
parking assist-sensors in the vicinity.
A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray
or heavy rain.
The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole or radio antenna.
Towing eyelets are installed.
A bumper or sensor receives a strong
impact.

right-angled curb.
In harsh sunlight or intense cold
weather.

INFORMATION
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly de-
tect an obstacle. Particular instances
where this may occur are listed be-
low.
In addition to the examples above,
there are instances in which, because
of their shapes, signs and other
objects may be judged by a sensor to
be closer than they are.
