SOME BASICS
The hands-free system enables calls to be made and received without having to take your hands off the steering wheel.
This system supports Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless data system that enables cellular phones to be used without being connected by a cable or placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the phone is explained here.
WARNING
llWhile driving, do not use a cellular phone or connect the Bluetooth phone.
llThis system is fitted with Bluetooth antennas. People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and the Bluetooth antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices.
llBefore using Bluetooth phones, users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
PHONE OPERATION( HANDS-FREE SYSTEM FOR CELLULAR PHONES)

llDo not leave your cellular phone in the vehicle. The temperature inside may rise to a level that could damage the phone.

The audio system will be muted during phone calls or when hands-free voice commands are used. llTalk alternately with the other party on the phone. If both parties speak at the same time, the other party may not hear what has been said.( This is not a malfunction.) llKeep call volume down. Otherwise, the other party’ s voice may be audible outside the vehicle and voice echo may increase. When talking on the phone, speak clearly towards the microphone.
