• Bluetooth®Wireless Technology is
a near-field wireless networking
technology that uses the 2.4 GHz
frequency to connect various
devices within a certain distance
wirelessly.
• The technology is used in PCs, peripherals, Bluetooth
®Wireless
Technology phones, tablet PCs,
household appliances and automo-
biles. Devices supporting Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology can exchange
data at high speeds without physical
cable connections.
• Bluetooth
®Wireless Technology
Handsfree devices enable conven-
ient access to phone functions
through cell phones equipped with
Bluetooth
®Wireless Technology.
• Some Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
devices may not be supported by
the Bluetooth
®Wireless Technology
Handsfree function. (Continued)(Continued)
• When
Bluetooth
®Wireless Technology
is connected and calls are attempted
through a connected cell phone from
outside the vehicle, the call is connected
through the Bluetooth
®Wireless
Technology Handsfree function of the
vehicle.
• Please be sure to disconnect the Bluetooth
®Wireless Technology
Handsfree function through your
Bluetooth
®Wireless Technology
device or the audio screen.
• See http://www.kia.com for a list of supported Bluetooth

Safety precautions
The
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
Handsfree function helps drivers to
drive safely. By connecting a
Bluetooth®Wireless Technology-
enabled phone to the vehicle’s
audio system, phone calls can be
made and received through the
audio system and contacts can be
managed. Consult the user manual
before use.
Excessive manipulation of controls while driving, making it difficult to
pay attention to the road ahead,
can lead to accidents. Do not oper-
ate the device excessively while
driving.
Looking at the screen for a pro- longed time increases the risk of
