WA R N I N G
!
If you choose to use a 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 distracts you from the
safe operation of your vehicle increases your risk of
an accident.
Refer to and follow all state and local laws in your
area regarding cellular phone usage while driving.
CAUTION
!
Please consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer concerning any such accessory fitment or
modification.

WA R N I N G
!
Do not attach a microphone (A) or any other object
around the part where the curtain air bag (B)
deploys, such as on the windshield, side door glass or
front and rear pillars and roof side rail. When the
curtain air bag inflate, the microphone or other
object may be hurled with great force or the curtain
air bag may not inflate correctly, resulting in death
or serious injury.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object
on the coat hook. If the curtain air bag was acti-
vated, any such item could be propelled away with
great force and could prevent the curtain air bag
from inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the
coat hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there
are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of
clothes that you hang on the coat hook.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the
front passenger seat. Rear-facing child restraints
MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
Front-facing child restraints should also be used
ONLY in the rear seat. If a front-facing child
restraint must be used in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible, and make sure
that the child stays in the child restraint, properly
restrained and away from the door.
Do not allow a child to lean against or sit close to the
passenger door, even if the child is seated in a child
restraint system. The child’s head should also not
lean against or be close to the section of the seatback
where the side air bag and curtain air bag are
located. It is dangerous if the side air bag and cur-
tain air bag deploys. Failure to follow all of these
instructions could lead to serious injury or death to
the child.
Work done on or in the vicinity of the side air bag
and curtain air bag system components should be
done only by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer. Improper work methods can cause acciden-
tal side air bag and curtain air bag deployment, or
render a side air bag and curtain air bag inoperable.
Either of these situations can result in serious injury
or death.

ical and does not mean that something is wrong with the
system.

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 3-145.
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.

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-
159.
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
