QI bought a new mobile phone and want to replace my old phone with the new one to
connect the system. How can I register the new phone to the system?
AAn additional device can be registered in the same way as in registration of a new
device. You can register up to 6 devices in the list of Bluetooth devices. To delete
a previously registered device, press Delete Device(s) from the list of Bluetooth
devices, select the device to delete, and then press Delete.
> See "Deleting a registered
device."
QHow can I access the list of contacts while using a Bluetooth phone?
AApprove access to the contacts when connecting your mobile phone to the syste\
m
via Bluetooth. The list of contacts on the phone is downloaded to the system. To see
the downloaded list of contacts, press the Call button on the steering wheel and
press
on the call screen. You can search for a contact and make a call to the
contact, or add the contact to the favorites. > See " Dialing from the contacts."
Broadcast reception
QI turned on the radio while driving but I heard no sound but noise.
ADepending on the location, obstacles may cause reception to deteriorate.
Radio reception rate may also drop when an on-glass antenna is mounted on the
rear window and the window is tinted with metallic window films.
Self-inspection method upon failure
QThe system does not operate properly. What shall I do?
AInspect the system after referring to Troubleshooting Guide. > See "Solutions."
When the system failure persists after inspection, press and hold the Reset button to
reset the system.
If the problem persists, contact your place of purchase or dealer.

Important information
Before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in
this user's guide ("User's Manual"). Not following precautions found in this guide can lead to
an accident or other serious consequences.
Keep this guide in your vehicle
When kept in the vehicle, this guide will be a ready reference for you and other users
unfamiliar with the system. Ensure that before using the system for the first time, all persons
have access to this guide and read its instructions and safety information carefully.
Warning
Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the
road, and possibly cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system
settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe
and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since setting up or
changing some functions as you drive may distract your attention away from the road and
removing your hands from the steering wheel may cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
General operation
Voice command control
Features within the system may be executed using only voice commands. Using voice
commands while driving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands
from the steering wheel.
Prolonged views of screen
Do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving.
Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system
requiring prolonged attention. Even short views of the screen may be hazardous if your
attention has been diverted away from your driving.
Volume setting
Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear
outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could cause an accident.

11-20
Navigation features
Navigation features included in the system are intended to provide detailed instructions to
get you to a desired destination. Ensure that all persons using this system carefully read and
follow all instructions on safety information.
Distraction hazard
Some navigation features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform
such setup or inputting data while driving can seriously distract your attention and could
cause an accident. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these
operations.
Let your judgment prevail
Any navigation features are provided only as an aid. Make your driving decisions based on
your observations of local conditions and existing traffic regulations. Any such feature is not
a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by this system should
never replace any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe
driving practices.
Route safety
Do not follow the route suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe or illegal maneuver,
if you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would be directed into an area that
you consider unsafe. The driver is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle
and must evaluate whether it is safe to follow the suggested directions.
Potential map inaccuracy
Maps used by this system may be inaccurate because of changes in roads, traffic controls
or driving conditions. Always use good judgment and common sense when following the
suggested routes.
Emergency services
Do not rely on any navigation features included in the system to direct you to emergency
services. Ask local authorities or an emergency services operator for these locations. Not all
emergency services such as police, fire stations, hospitals and clinics are contained in the
map database for navigation features.
Use of speech recognition functions
Speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is
your responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and
address any errors.
