The Hands-free Bluetooth
® cellular phone interface system
with voice recognition (Bluetooth
® HFP) uses a wireless com-
munication technology known as Bluetooth
® to allow you to
make hands-free calls in your vehicle using your Bluetooth
®
compatible cellular phone with Hands-free profile.
The system is equipped with a voice recognition function,
which lets you make hands-free calls by simple switch opera-
tions and voice command operations using a defined voice tree.
The Bluetooth
® HFP can be used when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” or “ACC” position.
To use the Bluetooth
® HFP, you should first connect your
Bluetooth
® compatible cellular phone to the Bluetooth
® HFP.
Refer to “Pairing a cellular phone” on page 3-100.
Bluetooth
® is a registered trademark of BLUETOOTH SIG,
INC.
NOTE
You cannot use the Bluetooth
® HFP if your cellular phone
has a dead battery or is turned off.

Hands-free calls will not be possible in areas outside your
cellular phone service area or locations where a signal
cannot reach your phone.
WA R N I N G
!
Although the Bluetooth
® HFP allows you to make
hands-free calls, if you choose to use the cellular
phone while driving, you must not allow that usage
to distract you in the safe operation of your vehicle.
Anything, including cellular phone usage, that dis-
tracts you from the safe operation of your vehicle
increases your risk of an accident. Refer to and fol-
low all state and local laws in your area regarding
cellular phone usage while driving.

4Parking
N00629600229
Parking on a hillWhen parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the
front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the
curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and
that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake
before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
This prevents loading the parking brake against the transaxle
gear. When this happens, it is difficult to move the selector
lever out of the “P” (PARK) position.Parking with the engine runningNever leave the engine running while you take a short
sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or
poorly ventilated place.

doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
WA R N I N G
!
Leaving the engine running risks injury or death
from accidentally moving the selector lever or the
accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passen-
ger compartment.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible
materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in
contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
