— Checking the connection to the hands-free phone.
. Do not place a Bluetooth
®audio device in
an area surrounded by metal or far away
from the in-vehicle Bluetooth
®module to
prevent tone quality degradation and wire-
less connection disruption.
. While an audio device is connected through
a Bluetooth
®wireless connection, the bat-
tery power of the device may discharge
quicker than usual.

you to listen to the audio from the Bluetooth
®
device using your vehicle speakers. It also may
allow basic control of the device for playing and
skipping audio files using the AVRCP Blue-
tooth
®profile. All Bluetooth®Devices do not
have the same level of controls for AVRCP.
Please consult the manual for your Bluetooth
®
Device for more details.
Once your Bluetooth®device is connected to
the in-vehicle audio system, it will automatically
reconnect whenever the device is present in the
vehicle and you select Bluetooth
®Audio from
your audio system. You do not need to manually
reconnect for each usage.
