Before Use

Precautions for Using Bluetooth Devices
Be careful of the following when using Bluetooth devices.
WARNING
• To ensure safety, the driver should not operate Bluetoothconnected phones while driving.
• Do not make calls on a cell phone while driving. If you
receive a call on your phone, calmly stop the vehicle in a safe
place and then answer the call. If you must answer the call,
use the handsfree function to inform the caller that you will
call back later. Then, stop the vehicle in a safe place and call
back.
• Buttons on the touch screen that cannot be used have their
colors toned down.
Operating the navigation system while driving could cause
your attention to be distracted from the current traffic
conditions. This could result in a severe or fatal accident.
Follow the descriptions of all operations and the instructions
for safety given in this manual without fail.
• When using a cell phone in a vehicle, be sure to observe the
local laws and regulations.

CAUTION
• Do not leave a Bluetooth-connected phone inside the vehicle.
(Direct sunlight may cause the vehicle interior to rise to a very
high temperature.)
• When using a Bluetooth-connected phone, keep away from
devices inside the vehicle. If you get too close to a device
inside the vehicle, the sound or connection quality may drop.
• The frequency band used by these devices is the same band
that is used by microwave ovens, wireless devices used in
factory production lines for identifying moving objects
(license required), special low output wireless devices (license
not required), amateur radios (license required), and other
industrial, scientific and medical devices. (The 3 types of
wireless devices above are hereafter called “other wireless
devices”.) When using a Bluetooth-connected phone, check
whether “other wireless devices” are used nearby. If the
Bluetooth-connected phone causes harmful radio wave
interference in “other wireless devices”, immediately move the
phone to a different location to stop the wireless interference.
The frequency band used by Bluetooth-connected phones is
the 2.4 GHz band. The FH-SS modulation scheme is used. The
estimated distance in which interference may occur is less than
10 m. The band used by Bluetooth-connected phones is the full
band, which helps avoid interference with the band used by
devices that identify moving objects.
