Symptom Cause Solution method
Names in the phonebook are not
easily recognized The Bluetooth ® system is under a
condition in which recognition is
diffi cult. By carrying out the following
measures, the rate of recognition
will improve.
 Clear memory from the phonebook
which is not used very often.

 Avoid shortened names, use full
names. (Recognition improves the
longer the name is. By not using
names such as “Mom”, “Dad”,
recognition will improve.)

name is not recognized Song names cannot be recognized
by voice. —

pressing and releasing the talk
button.

Regarding problems with calls

environment. This does not indicate a problem
with the device.

Appendix
Things You Need to Know
WARNING
Always adjust the audio while the
vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving
the vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a
serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of
the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

NOTE
 


 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.
 


 If a cellular phone or CB radio is used
in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system,
however, this does not indicate that the
system has been damaged.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.


Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.
