® 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

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.
