the ignition switch is placed in the ON position
with the selected cellular phone turned on and
carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
devices in the in-vehicle phone module. How-
ever, you can talk on only one cellular phone at a
time.

commands, so dialing a phone number using
your voice is possible.
