Introduction

Bluetooth® Hands-Free outline

When a Bluetooth® device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth® unit, a call can be made or received by pressing the talk button, pick-up button, or hang-up button on the audio remote control switch. For example, even if a device (mobile phone) is in your coat pocket, a call can be made without taking the device (mobile phone) out and operating it directly.

Bluetooth® audio outline

When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth® communication function is paired to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable audio device from the vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio device to the vehicle's external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/stop the audio.

 

 

  • For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before pairing.

  • The communication range of a Bluetooth® equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or less.

  • Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetooth® is not connected.

Device pairing (Bluetooth® Hands-Free)

To use Bluetooth® Hands-Free, the device equipped with Bluetooth® has to be paired to the Bluetooth® unit using the following procedure.

A maximum of seven devices including hands-free mobile phones and Bluetooth® audio devices can be paired to one vehicle.

 

  • A device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Pairing is dangerous while driving - pair up your device before you start driving. Park the car in a safe place before paired.

  • If a Bluetooth® device has already been paired to the vehicle as a Bluetooth® audio device, it does not need to be paired again when using the device as a hands-free mobile phone. Conversely, it does not need to be paired again as a Bluetooth® audio device if it has already been paired as a hands-free mobile phone.

  • Since the communication range of a Bluetooth® equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft), if a device is placed within a 10-meter (32 ft) radius of the vehicle, it may be detected/paired unintentionally while another device is being paired.

Bluetooth® audio device pairing (Bluetooth® Audio)

Any Bluetooth® audio device must be paired to the vehicle's Bluetooth® unit before it can be listened to over the vehicle's speakers.

A maximum of seven devices including Bluetooth® audio devices and hands-free mobile phones can be paired to one vehicle.

 

  • If a Bluetooth® device has already been paired to the vehicle as a hands-free mobile phone, it does not need to be paired again when using the device as a Bluetooth® audio device. Conversely, it does not need to be paired again as a hands-free mobile phone if it has already been paired as a Bluetooth® audio device.

  • Device registration can also be done using voice recognition.

Close Note
View Note

Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth® audio device itself, refer to its instruction manual.

Some Bluetooth® audio devices have PIN codes (four digits). Refer to the audio device's instruction manual because the pairing procedure differs depending on whether it has a PIN code or not.

Voice Recognition Learning Function (Speaker Enrolment) (Some Models)

Voice Recognition Learning Function (Speaker Enrolment) (Some Models)

The voice recognition learning function enables voice recognition appropriate to the characteristics of the user's voice. If the recognition of the voice input commands to the system is not adequate, this function can largely improve the system's voice recognition of the user. If your voice can be recognised sufficiently without using this function, you may not realize the added benefit of the function. To register your voice, the voice input command list must be read out. Read out the list when the vehicle is parked. Perform the registration in as quiet a place as possible (Search). The registration must be performed completely. The required time is a few minutes. The user needs to be seated in the driver's seat with the voice input command list for voice recognition learning visible.

Bluetooth® Device pairing, connection problems

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

Unable to perform pairing

―

First make sure the device is compatible with the Bluetooth® unit, and then check whether the Bluetooth® function and the Find Mode/Visible setting*1 on the device are turned on. If pairing is still not possible after this, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or Mazda Bluetooth® Hands-Free Customer Service.

Pairing cannot be performed again

The pairing information paired to the Bluetooth® unit or device is not recognised correctly.

Perform pairing using the following procedure.

  • Clear “Mazda” stored in the device.

  • Perform pairing again.

Unable to perform pairing

The Bluetooth® function and the Find Mode/Visible setting*1 on the device may turn off automatically after a period of time has elapsed depending on the device.

Check whether the Bluetooth® function and the Find Mode/Visible setting*1 on the device are turned on and pairing or reconnect.

Does not connect automatically when starting the engine

Automatically connects, but then disconnects suddenly

Disconnects intermittently

The device is in a location in which radio wave interference can occur easily, such as inside a bag in a rear seat, in a rear pocket of a pair of pants.

Move the device to a location in which radio wave interference is less likely to occur.

Does not connect automatically when starting the engine

The pairing information is updated when the device OS is updated.

Perform pairing again.

  1. Setting which detects the existence of a device external to the Bluetooth® unit

 

  • When the OS of the device is updated, the pairing information may be deleted. If this happens, reprogramme the pairing information to the Bluetooth® unit.

  • If you pair your phone which has already been paired to your vehicle more than once in the past, you need to delete “Mazda” on your mobile device. Then, execute the Bluetooth® search on your mobile device once again, and pair to a newly detected “Mazda”.

  • Before you pair your device, make sure that Bluetooth® is “ON”, both on your phone and on the vehicle.

  • If Bluetooth®-enabled devices are used in the following locations or conditions, connection via Bluetooth® may not be possible.

    • The device is in a location hidden from the unit such as behind or under a seat, or inside the glove compartment.

    • The device contacts or is covered by a metal object or body.

    • The device is set to power-saving mode.

  • Different Bluetooth®-enabled devices can be used for Bluetooth® Hands-Free and Bluetooth® audio. For example, device A can be connected as a Bluetooth® Hands-Free device and device B can be connected as a Bluetooth® audio device. However, the following may occur when they are used at the same time.

    • The Bluetooth® connection of the device is disconnected.

    • Noise occurs in the Hands-Free audio.

    • Hands-Free operates slowly.

Voice recognition related problems

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

Poor voice recognition

  • Excessive, slow speech.

  • Excessive, forceful speech (shouting).

  • Speaking before the beep sound has ended.

  • Loud noise (speaking or noise from outside/inside vehicle).

  • Airflow from A/C is blowing against the microphone.

  • Speaking in off-standard expressions (dialect).

Regarding the causes indicated on the left, be careful with how you speak. In addition, when numbers are spoken in a sequence, recognition ability will improve if no stop is placed between the numbers.

False recognition of numbers

Poor voice recognition

There is a malfunction in the microphone.

A poor connection or malfunction with the microphone may have occurred. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Phone-related voice recognition is disabled

There is a problem with the connection between the Bluetooth® unit and the device.

If there is any malfunction after checking the pairing situation, check for device pairing or connection problems.

Names in the phonebook are not easily recognised

The Bluetooth® system is under a condition in which recognition is difficult.

By carrying out the following measures, the rate of recognition will improve.

  • Clear memory from the phonebook which is not used very often.

  • Avoid shortened names, use full names. (Recognition improves the longer the name is. By not using names such as “Mum”, “Dad”, recognition will improve.)

When operating the audio, a song name is not recognised

Song names cannot be recognised by voice.

―

You want to skip guidance

―

Guidance can be skipped by quickly pressing and releasing the Talk button.

Regarding problems with calls

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

When starting a call, vehicle noise from the other party can be heard

This does not indicate a problem with the device.

The other party cannot be heard or the speaker's voice is quiet

The volume is set at zero or low.

Increase the volume.

Other problems

Symptom

Cause

Solution method

The indication for the remaining battery is different between the vehicle and the device

The indication method is different between the vehicle and the device.

―

When a call is made from the vehicle, the telephone number is updated in the incoming/outgoing call record but the name does not appear

The number has not been registered into the phonebook.

If the number has been registered into the phonebook, the incoming/outgoing call record is updated by the name in the phonebook when the engine is restarted.

The cell phone does not synchronize with the vehicle regarding the incoming/outgoing call record

Some types of cell phones do not synchronize automatically.

Operate the cell phone for synchronization.

It takes a long time to complete the function for changing the language

A maximum of 60 seconds is required.
