3 Hands-free Bluetooth
® cellular phone
interface system with voice recognition
(if so equipped)
N00506400069
The Hands-free Bluetooth
® cellular phone interface system
with voice recognition (Bluetooth
® HFP) uses a wireless com-
munication technology known as Bluetooth
® to allow you to
make hands-free calls in your vehicle using your Bluetooth
®
compatible cellular phone with Hands-free profile.
The system is equipped with a voice recognition function,
which lets you make hands-free calls by simple switch opera-
tions and voice command operations using a defined voice tree.
The Bluetooth
® HFP can be used when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” or “ACC” position.
To use the Bluetooth
® HFP, you should first connect your
Bluetooth
® compatible cellular phone to the Bluetooth
® HFP.
Refer to “Pairing a cellular phone” on page 3-147.
Bluetooth
® is a registered trademark of BLUETOOTH SIG,
INC.
NOTE
You cannot use the Bluetooth
® HFP if your cellular phone
has a dead battery or is turned off.

Hands-free calls will not be possible in areas outside your
cellular phone service area or locations where a signal
cannot reach your phone.
WA R N I N G
!
Although the Bluetooth
® HFP allows you to make
hands-free calls, if you choose to use the cellular
phone while driving, you must not allow that usage
to distract you in the safe operation of your vehicle.
Anything, including cellular phone usage, that dis-
tracts you from the safe operation of your vehicle
increases your risk of an accident. Refer to and fol-
low all state and local laws in your area regarding
cellular phone usage while driving.

NOTE
When you press the SPEECH button to enter voice recog-
nition mode with a cellular phone paired to the system,
current information on the cellular phone, such as
“remaining battery life,” “signal strength” or “roaming,”
will be displayed on the audio display.* (Refer to “Pairing
a cellular phone” on page 3-147.)
*: Some cellular phones will not send this information to
the Bluetooth
® HFP.

Call waiting and three-way calls can be used by the Blue-
tooth
® HFP, only when those services can be used with
your cellular phone.

Users may experience a delay in vehicle audio when plac-
ing or answering a call from the handset. To reduce
delays, users should place calls and receive calls through
the Hands-free System.
Voice recognition function
N00506600090
The Bluetooth
® HFP is equipped with a voice recognition
function. Your voice will be recognized by a microphone in the
front pillar (driver’s side), allowing you to make hands-free
calls with voice commands.
Voice recognition is possible in US English, North American
Spanish and Canadian French. The factory setting is US
English.
Some of the voice commands indicated below have a number
of alternative commands. For a table showing the voice com-
mands in each language and the corresponding alternative
commands, refer to “Commands and Alternatives” on page 3-
161.
NOTE
If the voice command that you say differs from the pre-
defined command or cannot be recognized due to ambient
noise or some other reason, the Bluetooth
® HFP will ask
you for the voice command again up to 3 times.

For best performance and further reduction of ambient
noise, the vehicle windows and the electric convertible
top (ECLIPSE SPYDER only) should be closed while
engaging the voice recognition function.
Selecting the LanguageThere are two ways to change the language. NOTE
The more entries that are registered in the phonebook, the
longer it will take to change the language.
