in the past, you need to delete “Mazda” on your mobile device. Then, execute the
Bluetooth
® search on your mobile device once again, and pair to a newly detected
“Mazda”.
  Before you pair your device, make sure that Bluetooth ® is “ON”, both on your phone
and on the vehicle.

Symptom Cause Solution method
Poor voice recognition
Excessive, slow speech. Excessive, forceful speech
(shouting).
 Speaking before the beep sound
has ended.
Loud noise (speaking or noise from
outside/inside vehicle).
 A i rÀ ow from A/C is blowing
against the microphone.
Speaking in off-standard
expressions (dialect). Regarding the causes indicated
on the left, be careful with how
you speak. In addition, when
numbers are spoken in a sequence,
recognition ability will improve
if no stop is placed between the

with the microphone may have
occurred. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised

disabled There is a problem with the
connection between the Bluetooth
®
unit and the device. If there is any malfunction after
checking the pairing situation, check
for device pairing or connection
problems.
Names in the phonebook are not
easily recognised The Bluetooth
® system is under a
condition in which recognition is
dif¿ cult. By carrying out the following
measures, the rate of recognition
will improve. Clear memory from the phonebook
which is not used very often.
 Avoid shortened names, use full
names. (Recognition improves the
longer the name is. By not using
names such as “Mum”, “Dad”,
recognition will improve.)

name is not recognised Song names cannot be recognised
by voice. —
