Device programming (Pairing)
To use Bluetooth Hands-Free, the device
equipped with Bluetooth has to be
programmed to the hands-free unit using
the following procedure.
(Type A)
Up to seven Bluetooth equipped mobile
telephones can be programmed to the
vehicle.
(Type B/Navigation system)
A maximum of seven devices including
hands-free mobile phones and Bluetooth
audio devices can be programmed to one
vehicle.NOTE
lA device can be programmed only when the
vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to
move, the pairing procedure will end.
Programming is dangerous while driving -
pair up your device before you start
driving. Park the car in a safe place before
programming.
l(Type B/Navigation system)
If a Bluetooth device has already been
programmed to the vehicle as a Bluetooth
audio device, it does not need to be
programmed again when using the device
as a hands-free mobile phone. Conversely,
it does not need to be programmed again as
a Bluetooth audio device if it has already
been programmed as a hands-free mobile
phone.
lSince the communication range of a
Bluetooth equipped device is about 10
meters (32 ft), if a device is placed within a
10-meter (32 ft) radius of the vehicle, it may
be detected/programmed unintentionally
while another device is being programmed.
1. Activate the Bluetooth application of
the device.
NOTE
For the operation of the device, refer to its
instruction manual.
2. Press the pick-up button (with/without
navigation system) or talk button with
a short press (without navigation
system) or a long press (with
navigation system).
NOTE
For vehicles with the navigation system, you
can also press the talk button with a short
press and say: [Beep]“Telephone”or
