 Bluetooth ® 
               Introduction
    Bluetooth ®  Hands-Free outline
    When  a  Bluetooth 
®  device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth ®  unit, a 
call can be made or received by pressing the talk button, pick-up button\
, or hang-up button 
on the audio remote control switch. For example, even if a device (mobi\
le phone) is in your 
coat pocket, a call can be made without taking the device (mobile phone\
) out and operating 
it directly.
  Bluetooth 
®  audio outline
    When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth 
®  communication function is paired 
to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable au\
dio device from the 
vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio de\
vice to the vehicle's 
external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/
stop the audio.
  
   NOTE
    For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle 
starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before 
pairing.
   The communication range of a Bluetooth ®  equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or 
less.
    Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetoot\
h ®  is not 
connected.
