SECTION 4: BLUETOOTH姞 HANDS­FREE PHONE SYSTEM

This section updates the information found in
Section 4 of the vehicle owner’s manual.

WARNING

● Use a phone after stopping your vehicle
in a safe location. If you have to use a
phone while driving, exercise extreme
caution at all times so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.

● If you find yourself unable to devote full
attention to vehicle operation while
talking on the phone, pull off the road to
a safe location and stop your vehicle
before doing so.

CAUTION

To avoid draining the vehicle battery, use
a phone after starting the engine.

Your vehicle is equipped with Bluetooth姞 Hands­Free Phone System. If you are an owner of a
Bluetooth姞 enabled cellular phone, you can set
up the wireless connection between your cellular
phone and the in-vehicle phone module. With
Bluetooth姞 wireless technology, you can make or
receive a telephone call with your cellular phone
in your pocket.

Once your cellular phone is paired to the in­vehicle phone module, no phone connecting pro-

cedure is required anymore. Your phone is auto­matically connected with the in-vehicle phone
module when the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position with the registered cellular phone
turned on and carried in the vehicle.

You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth 姞
cellular phones in the in-vehicle phone module.
However, you can talk on only one cellular phone
at a time.

The Voice Recognition system supports the
phone commands, so dialing a phone number
using your voice is possible. For more details, see
“Section 4: Voice Recognition system” later in
this supplement.

Before using the Bluetooth姞 Hands-Free Phone
System, refer to the following notes.

● Set up the wireless connection between a
cellular phone and the in-vehicle phone
module before using the Bluetooth 姞 Hands­Free Phone System.

● Some Bluetooth姞 enabled cellular phones
may not be recognized by the in-vehicle
phone module.

● You will not be able to use a hands-free
phone under the following conditions:

– Your vehicle is outside of the telephone

service area.

1-2 Vehicle Owner’s Manual Voice Recognition information

– Your vehicle is in an area where it is

difficult to receive radio waves; such as in
a tunnel, in an underground parking ga­rage, behind a tall building or in a moun­tainous area.

– Your cellular phone is locked in order not

to be dialed.

● When the signal reception is too bad or
ambient sound is too loud, it may be difficult
to hear the other person’s voice during a call.

● Immediately after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, it may be impos­sible to receive a call for a short period of
time.

● Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from the
in-vehicle phone module to prevent tone
quality degradation and wireless connection
disruption.

● While a cellular phone is connected through
the Bluetooth姞 wireless connection, the bat­tery power of the cellular phone may dis­charge quicker than usual.

● Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers. Stor­ing the device in a different location may
reduce or eliminate the noise.

● Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s Manual
regarding the telephone pairing procedure
specific to your phone, battery charging, cel­lular phone antenna, etc.

● The antenna display on the monitor will not
coincide with the antenna display of some
cellular phones.

● Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet as
possible to hear the caller’s voice clearly as
well as to minimize its echoes.

● If reception between callers is unclear, ad­justing the incoming or outgoing call volume
may improve the clarity. See “Call volume”
later in this supplement.

REGULATORY INFORMATION

This section updates the information found in
Section 4 of the vehicle owner’s manual.

There are two modes of operation available for
this system that are described in this supplement.
They are:

● Standard Mode

● Alternate Command Mode

Voice Recognition allows hands-free operation
of the systems equipped on this vehicle, such as
phone and vehicle information.

In Standard Mode (the factory default setting),
commands that are available are always shown
on the display and announced by the system. You
can complete your desired operation by simply
following the prompts given by the system. In this
mode, hands-free operation of Audio and Cli­mate Control is not available through Voice Rec­ognition.

For advanced operation, you can change to an
Alternate Command Mode that enables the op­eration of the display, audio, and climate control
through Voice Recognition. When this mode is
active, an expanded list of commands can be
spoken after pushing the TALK
the voice command menu prompts are turned off.

In Alternate Command Mode the recognition
success rate may be affected as the number of

1-12 Vehicle Owner’s Manual Voice Recognition information

available commands and the ways of speaking
each command are increased. (See “Section 4:
Voice Recognition System Alternate Command
Mode” later in this supplement for details about
Alternate Command Mode.)

To improve the recognition success rate when
Alternate Command Mode is active, try using the
Speaker Adaptation Function available in this
mode. (See “Speaker adaptation function” in
“Section 4: Voice Recognition System Alternate
Command Mode” later in this supplement.) Oth­erwise, it is recommended that Standard Mode
be used for the best recognition performance.

BEFORE STARTING

To get the best recognition performance from
Voice Recognition, observe the following:

● The interior of the vehicle should be as quiet
as possible. Close the windows to eliminate
the surrounding noises (traffic noise and vi­bration sounds, etc.), which may prevent the
system from correctly recognizing the voice
commands.

● Wait until the tone sounds before speaking a
command.

● Speak in a natural conversational voice with­out pausing between words.

● If the air conditioner is set to “Auto”, the fan
speed is automatically lowered so that your
commands can be recognized more easily.

How to speak numbers

Voice Recognition requires a certain way to
speak numbers when giving voice commands.
Refer to the following examples.

General rule:

● Only single digits 0 (zero) to 9 can be used.

● When saying the phone number 800-662-

6200, the system will accept “eight­hundred” in addition to “eight zero zero” or
“eight oh oh”. 500, 700, and 900 are also
supported.

Examples:

● 1-800-662-6200

– “One eight zero zero six six two six two

zero zero”

– “One eight hundred six six two six two

zero zero”

1-16 Vehicle Owner’s Manual Voice Recognition information

Improving Recognition of Phone numbers:

You can improve the recognition of phone num­bers by saying the phone number in three groups
of numbers. For example, when you try to call
800-662-6200, say “eight zero zero” first, and
the system will then ask you for the next three
digits. Then, say “six six two”. After recognition,
the system will then ask for the last four digits.
Say, “six two zero zero”. Using this method of
phone digit entry can improve recognition perfor­mance.

INFO:

When speaking a house number, speak the num­ber “0” as “zero” or “oh”. If the letter “O” is
included in the house number, it will not be rec­ognized as “0” even if you speak “oh” instead of
“zero”.

using a natural voice. Speaking too slow or
too loudly may further decrease recognition
