Connecting a Bluetooth device
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology. The Bluetooth communication
function allows you to exchange data by connecting a Bluetooth device to another
neighboring Bluetooth device without a cable connection. With this function, you can use
different types of devices more efficiently.
To make a phone call or play audio from a Bluetooth device, check the following first:
•For a device that is not registered to the system, > see "
Registering a device."
• A registered device will automatically connect to the system when you bring it near
the system. If it does not automatically connect,
> see "
Connecting a registered device ",
" Disconnecting a registered device."
ÝWarning
• Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident,
severe bodily injury, or death. The driver's primary responsibility is the safe and legal
operation of the vehicle, and the use of any vehicle systems, including the \
touch screen
and steering wheel controls, which take the driver's eyes, attention, and focus away from
the safe operation of the vehicle, or which are not permissible by law, should never be
used during the operation of the vehicle.
•Park the vehicle at a safe place before connecting a Bluetooth device to the system. It
may take the driver attention off the road and cause a traffic accident which can result in
damages, injuries, and/or death.

The Bluetooth connection function supports only the hands-free and audio related
functions. Connect your mobile phone, MP3 player, or device that supports the hands-
