PHONE SYSTEM
WARNING
.Use a phone after stopping your
vehicle in a safe location. If you have
to use a phone while driving, exercise
extreme caution at all times so full
attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
. If you find yourself unable to devote
full attention to vehicle operation
while talking on the phone, pull off
the road to a safe location and stop
your vehicle before doing so.
CAUTION
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use
a phone only after starting the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with 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 procedures for
connecting the phone does not need to be
performed again. Your phone will automati-
cally re-connect to the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is placed
in the ACC or ON position with the selected
cellular phone turned on and carried in the
vehicle.
You can register up to 6 different Blue-
tooth® devices in the in-vehicle phone
module. However, you can talk on only one
cellular phone at a time.
The Voice Recognition System supports
phone and text message commands, so
dialing a phone number using your voice is
possible.“7. Voice recognition”
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes. . Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) (if
so equipped) 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 Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module. Visit the web-
site below for a recommended phone list.

is active, Apple CarPlay® or Android
Auto will take the place of your Blue-
tooth® Hands-Free Phone functionality.
. You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:
— Your vehicle is outside of the tele- phone service area.
— 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 orderto prevent dialing.
. If Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto is
active, the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone cannot be used.
. 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.
. Immediately after the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position, it may
not be possible to receive a call for a
short period of time.
. Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from
the in-vehicle phone module to prevent
tone quality degradation and wireless
connection disruption.
. While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
. Visit the website below for trouble-
shooting help if the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System seems to be mal-
functioning.
www.infinitiusa.com/bluetooth/ .
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 differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s
Manual regarding the telephone pairing
procedure specific to your phone, bat-
tery charging, cellular phone antenna,
etc.
. The antenna or battery display on the
monitor may not coincide with the
antenna or battery display of some
cellular phones.
. If reception between callers is unclear,
adjusting the incoming or outgoing call
volume may improve the clarity.
“Volume and Beeps settings”
(page 2-32)
. The microphone is located near the map
light.
. To improve call quality, the microphone is
optimized to recognize the driver’s voice.
Speech from vehicle passengers may not
be captured by the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System. .
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible to hear the caller’s voice

possible by closing windows and point-
ing HVAC vents away from the ceiling.
