AUDIO OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
RADIO
Push the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position before turning on the radio. If
you listen to the radio with the engine or the
hybrid system not running, the ignition
switch should be pushed to the “ACC”
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the vehicle
may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-
the-art electronic circuits to enhance radio
reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equip-
ment is used. These characteristics are
completely normal in a given reception area,
and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings,
terrain, signal distance and interference
from other vehicles can work against ideal
reception. Described below are some of the
factors that can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.
FM radio reception
Range: the FM range is normally limited to
25 to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single station) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within 25
miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal
is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many
of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.

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
audio system. This connection allows you 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 wireless
LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the Bluetooth®
functions.

performed again. Your phone is automati-
cally selected with the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is pushed
to the “ON” position with the selected
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Blue-
tooth® cellular phones in the in-vehicle
phone module. However, you can talk on
only one cellular phone at a time.
The Voice Recognition system supports
phone commands, so dialing a phone number
using your voice is possible.“10. Voice recognition”
