    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 centre

®  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 centre display is disabled while the vehicle is being 
driven. However, items not displayed in grey can be operated using the commander 
switch while the vehicle is being driven.

  Troubleshooting  for  Voice  Recognition
    If you do not understand an operation 
method while in the voice recognition 
mode, say “Tutorial” or “Help”.
  Commands useable anytime during 
voice recognition
    “Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands 
which can be used at anytime during voice 
recognition.
  Returning to previous operation
    To return to the previous operation, say, 
“Go Back” while in voice recognition 
mode.
  Cancel
    To  put  the  Bluetooth 
®  Hands-Free system 
in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in 
voice recognition mode.
  To prevent a deterioration in the voice 
recognition rate and voice quality, the 
following points should be observed:
   
 
 
 
 
    The voice recognition cannot be 
performed while voice guidance or 
the beep sound is operating. Wait 
until the voice guidance or the beep 
sound is  ¿ nished before saying your 
commands.
   
 
 
     Phone related commands are available 
only when your phone is connected via 
Bluetooth
® . Make sure your phone is 
connected via Bluetooth ®  before you 
operate phone related voice commands.
   
 
 
     Music play commands, such as Play 
Artist and Play Album can be used only 
in USB audio mode.
   
 
 
     Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no 
loud voice).
   
 
 
     Speak clearly, without pausing between 
words or numbers.
   
 
 
     Dialects or different wording other 
than hands-free prompts cannot be 
recognised by voice recognition. Speak 
in the wording speci ¿ ed by the voice 
commands.
   
 
 
     It is not necessary to face the 
microphone or approach it. Speak the 
voice commands while maintaining a 
safe driving position.
   
 
 
     Close the windows and/or the 
convertible top to reduce loud noises 
from outside the vehicle, or turn down 
the air À ow of the air-conditioning 
system while Bluetooth 
®  Hands-Free is 
being used.
   
 
 
     Make sure the vents are not directing air 
up towards the microphone.
 NOTE
 If the voice recognition performance is 
not satisfactory.

 5-119 .
