2. SOME BASICS
The hands-free system enables calls 
to be made and received without hav-
ing 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 phone 
is explained here.
CAUTION
● While driving, do not use a cellular 
phone or connect the Bluetooth® phone.
● Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth
®
antennas. People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroni-
zation therapy-pacemakers or 
implantable cardioverter defibrillators 
should maintain a reasonable 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 implantable cardiac pacemakers, 
cardiac resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter 
defibrillators should consult the manu-
facturer of the device for information 
about its operation under the influence 
of radio waves. Radio waves could have 
unexpected 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 phone.
INFORMATION
●If your cellular phone does not support 
Bluetooth®, this system cannot function.
● In the following conditions, the system 
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 follow-
ing problems may occur:
• The Bluetooth
® connection may be 
cut.
• Noise may be heard on the Bluetooth
®
audio playback.
