Bluetooth Hands-Free
nWhat is Bluetooth Hands-Free?By connecting a Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone to the hands-free unit equipped on the 
vehicle, making and receiving calls are possible using the voice recognition switch, Pick-up 
button and Hang-up button located on the steering wheel, and saying the voice commands.
A Bluetooth equipped mobile telephone communicates with the hands-free unit equipped on 
the vehicle using radio transmission (Bluetooth).
For example, if the mobile telephone is placed in a coat pocket, the phone calls can be made 
through your mobile service without direct use of the mobile telephone.
Refer to the “Bluetooth Hands-Free” in the owner’s manual.
The types of mobile phones which can be connected to the hands-free unit are limited, so 
before purchasing or changing your mobile phone model, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Mobile phones which can be connected to the hands-free system need to be compliant with 
Bluetooth specifications and the appropriate profile, however, even among these Bluetooth 
phones are some which will not connect with your Mazda or will have limited function. 
Therefore, consult Mazda Bluetooth Hands-Free Customer Service for information regarding 
mobile phone compatibility:
