6-1. Precautions when using hands-free calls
Precautions for hands-free calling
By connecting a Bluetooth ® cellular phone that has been verified with the system, the phone function can be used to make and receive calls without operating the cellular phone directly. This is known as hands-free calling.
A cellular phone must support the multimedia system specifications in order to connect to the system. However, be aware that some functions may be limited depending on the model of cellular phone.
Even while connected to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, the handsfree phone screen for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto may not be displayed, depending on conditions.
