Your vehicle is equipped with a Bluetooth®
Hands-Free Phone System. If you are an
owner of a compatible Bluetooth® enabled
cellular phone, you can set up the wireless
connection between your cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone module. With Blue-
tooth® wireless technology, you can make
or receive a telephone call with your cellular
phone in your pocket.
Once a cellular phone is connected to the in-
vehicle phone module, the procedure for
connecting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone is automati-
cally selected by the in-vehicle phone module
when the ignition switch is switched to the
ON position with the selected cellular phone
turned on and carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to five different Blue-
tooth® cellular phones to 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.“7. Voice Recognition”
. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and wireless LAN functions
at the same time may slow down or
disrupt communications and could cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) off when
using the Bluetooth® functions. .
Set up the wireless connection between
a compatible cellular phone and the in-
vehicle phone module before using the
Bluetooth® Hands-Free Pone System.
. Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module. Please visit
www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth/search
for a recommended phone list.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside the service area for your cellular phone network.
— Your vehicle is in an area where it is difficult to receive radio waves, such
as in a tunnel, in an underground
parking garage, behind a tall building
or in a mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locked in order to prevent dialing.
. 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 a call.
. This Bluetooth® system supports Wide-
band speech, which enhances the sound
quality of phone calls placed over Blue-
