WARNING
• Use
aphone after stopping your vehicle in a
safe location. If you have to use aphone while
driving, exercise extreme caution at all times
so full attention may be given to vehicle op-
eration.
• If you are unable to devote full attention to
vehicle operation while talking on the phone,
pull off the road to
asafe location and stop
your vehicle.
CAUTION
To avoid discharging the vehicle battery, use a
phone after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you have acompat-
ible Bluetooth® enabled mobile phone, you can set
up the wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the in-vehicle phone module. With Blue-
tooth® wireless technology, you can make or re-
ceive ahands-free telephone call with your mobile
phone in the vehicle.
Once your mobile phone is connected to the in-ve-
hicle phone module, no other phone connecting pro-
cedure is required. Your phone is automatically re-
connected with the in-vehicle phone module when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position with
the connected mobile phone turned on and carried
in the vehicle. You can register up to
5different Bluetooth® mo-
bile phones to the in-vehicle phone module. How-
ever, you can talk on only one mobile phone at a
time.
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.
• Set up the wireless connection between
amo-
bile phone and the in-vehicle phone module be-
fore using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone
System.
• Some Bluetooth® enabled mobile phones may
not be recognised by the in-vehicle phone mod-
ule.
• You will not be able to use
ahands-free phone
under the following conditions:
–Y our vehicle is outside of the mobile service
area.
–Y our vehicle is in an area where it is difficult
to receive mobile signal; such as in atunnel,
in an underground parking garage, near atall
building or in amountainous area.
–Y our mobile phone is locked to prevent it
from being dialled.
• When the radio wave condition is not ideal or
ambient sound is too loud, it may be difficult to
hear the other person’s voice during
acall.
• Immediately after the ignition switch is placed in
the ON position, it may be impossible to receive
ac
all for ashort period of time. •
Do not place the mobile phone in an area sur-
rounded by metal or far away from the in-vehicle
phone module to prevent tone quality degrada-
tion and wireless connection disruption.
• While
amobile phone is connected through the
Bluetooth® wireless connection, the battery
power of the mobile phone may discharge quicker than usual. The Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System cannot charge mobile phones.
• Some mobile phones or other devices may cause
interference or
abuzzing noise to come from the
audio system speakers. Storing the device in a
different location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.
• Refer to the mobile phone owner’s manual re-
garding the telephone charges, mobile phone
antenna and body, etc.
• The signal strength display on the monitor will
not coincide with the signal strength display of
