3-1. Using the Bluetooth ® function
Precautions when using Bluetooth ® devices
Pay special attention to the following information when using a Bluetooth ® device on the multimedia system.
INFORMATION
● The vehicle uses Bluetooth ® communications on the 2.4GHz frequency band. Performance may vary depending on various factors.
● Simultaneous use of Wi-Fi ® using the same 2.4GHz band wireless communication as Bluetooth ® could cause mutual interference.
● Mutual interference between Bluetooth ® and Wi-Fi ® could cause issues such as garbled video, audio skipping, or reduced communication speed. The effect of interference will be reduced if a Bluetooth ® device is connected. If a Bluetooth ® device has been registered, connecting with the registered device could improve this issue.( Check the status icons to determine whether a Bluetooth ® device is connected)
● Using a Bluetooth ® cellular phone simultaneously with a wireless device could negatively affect communication for each.
● Connecting a Bluetooth ® device via Bluetooth ® will cause the battery of the cellular phone to deplete rapidly.
● Bluetooth ® connections will be disconnected during emergency calls. Any disconnected Bluetooth ® devices will be reconnected once the emergency call is finished.
WARNING
● For safety, the driver should not operate the cellular phone itself while driving when using hands-free calling.
● Stop the vehicle in a safe location prior to calling. If a call is received while driving, be sure to drive safely and keep the call short.
NOTICE
● Do not use a Bluetooth ® device near the multimedia system. Coming too close could worsen sound quality or the connection.
● Do not leave a cellular phone inside the vehicle. The inside of the vehicle can become hot, which could cause the cellular phone to malfunction.
