Hands-Free Phone

Introduction

A mobile device equipped with hands-free (Bluetooth) capability can

be connected wirelessly to the vehicle’s hands-free phone system.

The vehicle’s hands-free phone system then lets you have remote

control of a range of the mobile phone's functions. The mobile phone

can always be operated by its own keys regardless of whether or not

it is connected.

The hands-free system is available when the vehicle key is in ignition

position ‘I’ or ‘II’. If, during a call, the vehicle key is moved to position

‘0’ or removed the call will transfer to the mobile phone after

approximately six seconds.

The system microphone is located in the vehicle roof above the

drivers head and the speech from an incoming call is from the two

door speakers.

The hands-free phone system uses the internal antenna of the

mobile phone. Placing the mobile phone in the trinket tray may

degrade the hands-free system performance.

The hands-free phone system will not recognize a mobile phone,

even if it is ‘paired’ (Refer to ’Pairing Phones’, page 9.5), if the mobile

phone does not have Bluetooth enabled. For more information refer

to the user’s guide for your mobile phone.

The hands-free phone system does not support SMS (text messages).

Connecting a Phone

A connection between the vehicle hands-free system and a mobile

phone is called a ‘Paired Link’. When a paired link is set up the

hands-free system remembers the mobile phone’s ID.

Once the hands-free system and the mobile phone are paired, the

hands-free system automatically connects every time the ignition is

set to ON if the hands-free system (Press PHONE) and the mobile

phone are ON.

A mobile phone can be paired either using the vehicle hands-free

system or by using the mobile phone.

The vehicle's hands-free system supports paired links with up to 10

mobile phones.

The process of initiating a hands-free connection with a mobile

phone varies per phone manufacturer. For more information refer to

the user’s guide for your mobile phone.
