NOTE
The MiEV Remote system uses radio waves. The MiEV
Remote can operate within approximately 328 feet (100
m) from the vehicle.
In the following environments or situations, the MiEV
Remote may not transmit and receive radio waves cor-
rectly. As a result, the remote may not operate properly.
• When the vehicle and the MiEV Remote are separated
by a concrete wall.
• When there is a metal wall between the vehicle and the
MiEV Remote.
• When the vehicle is surrounded by other tall vehicles.
• When the vehicle and/or the MiEV Remote is near a
facility emitting strong radio waves, such as a television
tower, a transformer substation, a broadcasting station or
an airport.
• When other electrical equipment such as computers or
cell-phones are placed near the MiEV Remote.
• When the MiEV Remote touches something metallic, or
is covered by a metal object.
• When batteries for the MiEV Remote are weak.
WA R N I N G
!
Individuals who use implantable pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators should
keep away from the external and internal transmit-
ters. The electromagnetic waves used in the MiEV
Remote System may affect the operation of implant-
able pacemakers and implantable cardiovascular-
defibrillators.
Individuals using other electro-medical apparatus
besides implantable pacemakers and implantable
cardiovascular-defibrillators should check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect
of the electromagnetic waves used by the MiEV
Remote System. The electromagnetic waves may
affect the operations of the electro-medical appara-
tus.
Never use the MiEV Remote near medical equip-
ment. Electromagnetic waves could adversely affect
the medical equipment.
Keep the MiEV Remote in the place where children
will not touch or play with the remote.
When bringing the MiEV Remote on flights, do not
press any switches on the MiEV Remote while on the
plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane, the MiEV
Remote emits electromagnetic waves which like cell
phones and other wireless devices, could interfere
with systems on the airplane.
When carrying the MiEV Remote in a bag, be care-
ful that no switches on the MiEV Remote can be
pressed by mistake.
CAUTION
!
Never disassemble or modify the MiEV Remote. No
user serviceable parts are inside except batteries.
Disassembling or modifying the MiEV Remote or
removing a label from the MiEV Remote may vio-
late regulations.

!
In order to reduce the risk of injury from a deploy-
ing side airbag, do not allow any rear seat passen-
gers to hold onto the back of either front seat.
Special care should be taken with children.
Do not place any objects near or around the front of
either front seatback. Such objects can interfere
with proper side airbag deployment and cause
injury during deployment of the side airbag.
Do not place stickers, labels or additional trim on
the back of either front seat. They can interfere with
proper side airbag deployment.
Do not install seat covers or re-cover seats that have
side airbags. Covers can interfere with proper side
airbag deployment and adversely affect side airbag
performance.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object
around the part where the curtain airbag (B)
deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or
front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain airbag inflate, the microphone or other
object may be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death
or serious injury.

N00563900087
The Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface allows for making/receiving
hands-free calls in the vehicle using a Bluetooth
® compatible
cellular phone based on the wireless communication technol-
ogy commonly known as Bluetooth
®. It also allows the user to
play music, saved in a Bluetooth
® music player, from the vehi-
cle’s speakers.
The system is equipped with a voice recognition function,
which allows you to make hands-free calls by simple switch
operations and voice command operations using a defined
voice tree.
The Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface can be used when the electric
motor switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
Before you can use the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface, you must pair
the Bluetooth
® device and Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface. Refer to
“Connecting the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface and Bluetooth
®
device” on page 3-98.

the accessory power will automatically turn off after a cer-
tain period of time and you will no longer be able to use
the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface. The accessory power comes
on again if the electric motor switch is turned from the
“ACC” position. Refer to “ACC power auto-cutout func-
tion” on page 3-30.

The Bluetooth® 2.0 interface cannot be used if the
Bluetooth
® device has a dead battery or the device power
is turned off.

Hands-free calls will not be possible if your phone does
not have service available.

If you place the Bluetooth

® 2.0 interface, voice recognition is possible
for US English, North American Spanish, Canadian French and
Japanese. The factory setting is “English.”
NOTE
If the voice command that you say differs from the pre-
defined command or cannot be recognised due to ambient
noise or some other reason, the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface
will ask you for the voice command again up to 3 times.
