® 2.0 interface
(if so equipped)
N00563900087
The Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface allows for making/receiving
hands-free calls in the vehicle using a Bluetooth
® compatible
cellular phone based on the wireless communication technol-
ogy commonly known as Bluetooth
®. It also allows the user to
play music, saved in a Bluetooth
® music player, from the vehi-
cle’s speakers.
The system is equipped with a voice recognition function,
which allows you to make hands-free calls by simple switch
operations and voice command operations using a defined
voice tree.
The Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface can be used when the electric
motor switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
Before you can use the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface, you must pair
the Bluetooth
® device and Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface. Refer to
“Connecting the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface and Bluetooth
®
device” on page 3-98.
Bluetooth
® is a registered trademark of BLUETOOTH SIG,
INC.
NOTE
If the electric motor switch is left in the “ACC” position,
the accessory power will automatically turn off after a cer-
tain period of time and you will no longer be able to use
the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface. The accessory power comes
on again if the electric motor switch is turned from the
“ACC” position. Refer to “ACC power auto-cutout func-
tion” on page 3-30.

The Bluetooth® 2.0 interface cannot be used if the
Bluetooth
® device has a dead battery or the device power
is turned off.

Hands-free calls will not be possible if your phone does
not have service available.

If you place the Bluetooth
® device in the luggage com-
partment, you may not be able to use the Bluetooth
® 2.0
interface.
WA R N I N G
!
Although the Bluetooth
® 2.0 interface allows you to
make hands-free calls, if you choose to use the cellu-
lar phone while driving, you must not allow yourself
to be distracted from the safe operation of your vehi-
cle. Anything, including cellular phone usage, that
distracts you from the safe operation of your vehicle
increases your risk of an accident.

Refer to and comply with all state and local laws in
your area regarding cellular phone usage while driv-
ing.

6-2 For emergencies
6If the vehicle breaks down
N00836300220
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder
and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder,
or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with
the hazard lights flashing, until you come to a safe stopping
place. Keep the flashers flashing.
If the ready indicator light goes out while driving, the brakes
and steering will continue to work, but without power assist, so
more effort will be required for braking and steering. Stop the
vehicle on the shoulder of the road and turn on the hazard
warning flashers.
Jump-starting
N00836400739
If the electric motor unit cannot be energized because the 12V
starter battery is weak or dead, you can start it with the battery
from another vehicle using jumper cables. NOTE
Do not use jumper cables if they have damage or corro-
sion.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or brace-
lets that might make an accidental electrical contact.
WA R N I N G
!
To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that
may be emitted from the 12V starter battery, care-
fully read this section before jump-starting the vehi-
cle.
Do not try to start the electric motor unit by pushing
or towing the vehicle. This can cause an accident
resulting in serious injury or death and can damage
the vehicle.
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt jump starting the 12V starter bat-
tery while the main drive lithium-ion battery is
being charged. Doing so could damage the vehicle or
charging equipment.

Cleaning plastic parts
N00946300211
Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.
If a vehicle wax sticks to a gray or black rough surface of the
bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in
color. In this case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and a soft
cloth or chamois. Chrome parts
N00946400065
To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with
water, dry thoroughly, and apply a nonabrasive automotive
wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a com-
mercially available chrome polish.
Aluminum wheels (if so equipped)
N00946500196
1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.
2. Use a mild detergent on any dirt that cannot be removed
easily with water.
Rinse off the detergent after washing the wheel.
3. Dry the wheel thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft
cloth.Window glass
N00946600067
The window glass can usually be cleaned using only a sponge
and water. Glass cleaner can be used to remove wax, oil,
grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry
with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
CAUTION
!
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrub-
ber as these may damage the plastic surface.
Do not use wax containing compounds (polishing
powder) which may damage the plastic surface.
Do not let the plastic parts get soiled with gasoline,
oil, brake fluids, greases, paint thinner, and sulfuric
acid (battery electrolyte). These fluids, etc., may
crack, stain or discolor the plastic parts.
If any of these get on the plastic parts, wipe them up
with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of
soap and water. Then rinse them immediately with
water.
CAUTION
!
Do not use a brush or other hard implement on the
wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
Do not use any cleaner that contains an abrasive
substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing so could
cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become
discolored or stained.
Do not directly apply hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means.
Contact with seawater or road salt used for de-icing
can cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances as
soon as possible.
