—Connecting the hands-free phone or theaudio device.
—Downloading the phonebook memoryfrom the connected cellular 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 degra-
dation and wireless connection disrup-
tion.
. While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth
®wireless connec-
tion, the battery of the device may discharge quicker than usual.
. This system supports the Bluetooth
®
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP) and Audio/Video Remote Con-
trol Profile (AVRCP).

BLUETOOTH®STREAMING AUDIO
Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth®
Streaming Audio.
If you have a compatible Bluetooth®device
with streaming audio (A2DP profile), you
can set up a wireless connection between
your Bluetooth
®device and the in-vehicle

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 Bluetooth
®profile. Not all Blue-
tooth®devices have the same level of
controls for AVRCP. Please consult the
manual for your Bluetooth
®device for
more details.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Bluetooth
®
functions share the same frequency band
(2.4 GHz). Using the Bluetooth®and the
wireless LAN functions at the same time
may slow down or disconnect the commu-
nication and cause undesired noise. It is
recommended that you turn off the wire-
less LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth
®
functions.
