               Introduction
    Bluetooth ®  Hands-Free outline
    When  a  Bluetooth 
®  device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth ®  unit via 
radio wave transmission, 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, or by operating the center 
display. For example, even if a device (mobile 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 audio device from the 
vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio device 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 Bluetooth ®  is not 
connected.
 
  For safety reasons, operation of the center display is disabled while the vehicle is being 
driven. However, items not displayed in gray can be operated using the commander 
switch while the vehicle is being driven.
