Information
- Using Bluetooth®(BT) Phone
• Bluetooth
®is a near-field wireless
networking technology that uses the
2.4 GHz frequency to connect vari-
ous devices within a certain distance
wirelessly.
• The technology is used in PCs, peripherals, Bluetooth
®phones,
tablet PCs, household appliances
and automobiles. Devices support-
ing Bluetooth
®can exchange data at
high speeds without physical cable
connections.
• Bluetooth
®Handsfree devices
enable convenient access to phone
functions through mobile phones
equipped with Bluetooth
®.
• Some Bluetooth
®devices may not be
supported by the Bluetooth®
Handsfree function.
• When Bluetooth
®is connected and
calls are attempted through a con-
nected mobile phone from outside
the vehicle, the call is connected
through the Bluetooth
®Handsfree
function of the vehicle. • Please be sure to disconnect the
Bluetooth
®Handsfree function
through your Bluetooth®device or
the audio screen.
• The Bluetooth

user manual before use.
• Excessive manipulation of controls whilst driving, making it difficult to
pay attention to the road ahead, can
lead to accidents. Do not operate the
device excessively whilst driving.
• Looking at the screen for a pro- longed time increases the risk of
accidents. Keep time spent looking
at the screen to a minimum.
