When you want to keep the lights on: If the light switch is turned to the “ ” or “ ” position again
after the engine is turned off, the 3 minute auto-cutout function
described above will not work. The lights (the parking lights,
tail lights and license plate lights) will stay on and will not turn
off automatically. NOTE
When the driver’s door is opened, a continuous high-
pitched tone will sound if the key has been removed; a
continuous low-pitched tone will sound if the key is in the
ignition switch.
The tone stops sounding when the driver’s door is closed.Headlight reminder buzzer

toward you (2). The lights will go back to normal when you let
go. While the high beam is on, you will see a blue light on the
instrument panel.NOTE
You can flash the high beams by pulling the lever toward

Headlight levelling switch
(if so equipped)
N00537100046
The direction of the headlight beam (the direction which the
light shines in) alters according to the number of people and
the load in the vehicle. Lower the headlight angle if it is too
high due to the number of people and/or the load in the vehicle
so that the headlights’ glare does not distract the drivers of
approaching vehicles. First set the light switch to the “ ”
position, then turn the headlight levelling switch knob to lower
the beam. The greater the number on the headlight levelling
switch knob, the lower the beam will point.
Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight
beam is level with the road.

3Hands-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 3-146.
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 3-146.)
*: Some cellular phones will not send this information to
the Bluetooth
® HFP.

Call waiting and three-way calls can be used by the
Bluetooth
® 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-
160.
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.

mand in the native language, and ask you if you want to change
to that language.

language to English (Spanish or French)?”
2. If you say “Yes,” the voice guide will say “Please Wait,
Switching to English (Spanish or French) Phonebook”
and it will start the language change process.
If you do not want to change the language, say “No.”

selected, returning to main menu” the language change
process will be completed and the system will return to

Speaker enrollment function
N00528900107
The Bluetooth
® HFP can use the speaker enrollment function
to create a voice model for one person per language.
Your voice characteristics and pronunciations are registered in
this voice model. This makes it easier for the Bluetooth
® HFP
to recognize voice commands said by you.
You can turn a voice model registered with the speaker
enrollment function on and off whenever you want.
NOTE
Phone calls received during the speaker enrollment pro-
cess cannot be answered and operations initiated by the
instrument panel control switch or voice recognition will
not work.
