Bluetooth® (Some Models)

Bluetooth® Hands-Free outline

When a Bluetooth® device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth® unit via radio wave transmission, 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, or by operating the centre display. 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.

  • For safety reasons, operation of the centre display is disabled while the vehicle is being driven. However, items not displayed in grey can be operated using the commander switch while the vehicle is being driven.

Device pairing

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.

Confirmation Prompts

The confirmation prompt confirms the command content to the user before advancing to the operation requested by the user. When this function is turned on, the system reads out the voice input command previously received and confirms whether the command is correct before advancing to the command execution.

When the confirmation prompt function is turned on:

(Ex. “Calling John's device. Is this correct?”)

When the confirmation prompt function is turned off:

(Ex. “Calling John's device.”)

 


If the confirmation prompt function is turned off when making an emergency call, the system reads out and confirms the command before executing it.

Voice Recognition Learning Function (Speaker Enrolment) (Type A/Type B)

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.

When voice recognition learning is done for the first time

  1. Press the pick-up button or talk button with a short press.

  2. Say: [Beep] “Voice training”

  3. Prompt: “This operation must be performed in a quiet environment while the vehicle is stopped. See the owner's manual for the list of required training phrases. Press and release the talk button when you are ready to begin. Press the hang-up button to cancel at any time.”

  4. Press the talk button with a short press.

  5. The voice guidance reads out the voice input command number (refer to the voice input command list for voice recognition learning). (Ex. “Please read phrase 1”)

  6. Say: [Beep] “0123456789” (Say the voice input command for voice recognition learning (1 to 8) according to the voice guidance.)

  7. Prompt: “Speaker enrolment is complete.”

 


If an error occurred in the voice recognition learning, re-learning can be done by pressing the talk button with a short press.

Close Note

Voice input command list for voice recognition learning

When reading out, the following points must be observed:

  • Read out the numbers one at a time correctly and naturally.

    (For example, “1234” must be read out “one, two, three, four” not “twelve, thirty four”.)

  • Do not read out parentheses. “(” and hyphens “-” are used for separating numbers in a phone number.

Ex.

“(888) 555-1212” must be spoken “Eight, eight, eight, five, five, five, one, two, one, two.”
