nce of a device external to the Bluetooth® unit
NOTE
When the OS of the device is updated, the pairing information may be deleted. If this
happens, reprogram the pairing information to the Bluetooth
® unit.
If you pair your phone which has already been paired to your vehicle more than once in
the past, you need to delete “Mazda” on your mobile device. Then, execute the
Bluetooth
® search on your mobile device once again, and pair to a newly detected
“Mazda”.
Before you pair your device, make sure that Bluetooth® is “ON”, both on your phone and
on the vehicle.
If Bluetooth®-enabled devices are used in the following locations or conditions,
connection via Bluetooth
® may not be possible.
The device is in a location hidden from the center display such as behind or under a
seat, or inside the glove compartment.
The device contacts or is covered by a metal object or body.
The device is set to power-saving mode.

Voice recognition related problems
SymptomCauseSolution method
Poor voice recognition
Excessive, slow speech.Excessive, forceful speech (shout-
ing).
Speaking before the beep sound
has ended.
Loud noise (speaking or noise from
outside/inside vehicle).
Airflow from A/C is blowing
against the microphone.
Speaking in off-standard expres-
sions (dialect). Regarding the causes indicated on
the left, be careful with how you
speak. In addition,
when numbers
are spoken in a sequence, recogni-
tion ability will improve if no stop is
placed between the numbers.
False recognition of numbers
Poor voice recognition There is
a malfunction in the micro-
phone. A poor connection or malfunction
with the microphone may have oc-
curred. Consult an Authorized Maz-
da Dealer.
Phone-related voice recognition is
disabled There is a problem with the connec-
tion between the Bluetooth
® unit
and the device. If there is any malfunction after
checking the pairin
g situation, check
for device pairing or connection
problems.
Names in the phonebook are not
easily recognized The Bluetooth
® system is under a
condition in which recognition is
difficult. By carrying out the following meas-
ures, the rate of recognition will im-
prove.
Clear memory from the phonebook
which is not used very often.
Avoid shortened names, use full
names. (Recognitio
n improves the
longer the name is. By not using
names such as “Mom”, “Dad”, rec-
ognition will improve.)
When operating the audio, a song
name is not recognized Song names cannot be recognized
by voice.
