*: This function is not made avail- able in some countries or areas.
●This system is n ot guaranteed to
operate with all Bluetooth®
devices.
●If your cellular phone does not
support Bluetooth®, this system
cannot function.
●In the following conditions, the
system may not function:
• The cellular phone is turned off.
• The current position is outside the communication area.
• The cellular phone is not con- nected.
• The cellular phone has a low bat-
tery.
●Depending on the type of Blue-
tooth® phone, some function is
not available.
●When using the hands-free sys-
tem or Bluetooth® audio and
Wi-Fi® hotspot functions at the
same time, the following problems
may occur:
• The Bluetooth
® connection may
be cut.
• Noise may be heard on the Blue-
tooth
® audio playback.
• A noise may be heard during phone calls.
●Bluetooth® uses the 2.4 GHz fre-
quency band. If both a Wi-Fi® con-
nection and Bluetooth®
connection are being used simul-
taneously, each connection may
be affected.
●If a Bluetooth® device is attempt-
ing to connect to the vehicle while
another device is connected as a
Bluetooth
® audio device or con-
nected using the hands-free sys-
tem or Wi-Fi
® hotspot function, the
communication speed may
decrease or malfunctions may
occur, such as image distortion or
audio skipping. If a Bluetooth
®
device is connected to the system,
the interference it may cause will
be reduced. When carrying a
device with its Bluetooth
® connec-
tion enabled, make sure to regis-
ter it to the system and connect it
or disable its Bluetooth
® function.
●When a device is connected via
Bluetooth®, the Bluetooth® icon
on the status bar will be displayed
in blue. ( P. 1 7 )
Some basics
The hands-free system
enables calls to be made
and received without having
to take your hands off the
steering wheel.
This system supports Blue-
tooth
®. Bluetooth® is a wire-
less data system that
enables cellular phones to
be used without being con-
nected by a cable or placed
in a cradle.
The operating procedure of
the phone is explained here.
When an Apple CarPlay
connection is established,
phone functions will be per-
formed by Apple CarPlay
instead of the hands-free
system.

●Your audio unit is fitted with
Bluetooth® antennas. People
with implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchroniza-
tion therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibril-
lators should maintain a reason-
able distance between
themselves and the Bluetooth
®
antennas. The radio waves may
affect the operation of such
devices.
●Before using Bluetooth®
devices, users of any electrical
medical device other than
implantable cardiac pacemak-
ers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implant-
able cardioverter defibrillators
should consult the manufacturer
of the device for information
about its operation under the
influence of radio waves. Radio
waves could have unexpected
effects on the operation of such
medical devices.
NOTICE
●Do not leave your cellular phone
in the vehicle. In particular, high
temperatures inside the vehicle
may damage the cellular phone.
