NOTE
. For models with the genuine
SUBARU navigation system, refer to
the Owner’s Manual supplement for the
navigation system.

position.
& Tips for the Hands-free sys-
tem
! Bluetooth
®
It is possible to connect a cell phone to the
in-vehicle equipment through the Blue-
tooth
®
format (wireless) to make a phone
call from the in-vehicle equipment or take
an incoming phone call.
Since the Bluetooth
®
format is wireless, a
connection between the in-vehicle equip-
ment and the cell phone can be made
without placing them in close vicinity of
each other. The cell phone can be used
with it left in the breast pocket or bag.
NOTE
. The Han ds-free syst em may not
operate properly under the following
conditions.
– The cell phone is turned off.
– The cell phone is not in the
phone call area.
– The battery of the cell phone has
run down.
– The cell phone is not connected
to the Hands-free system.
– The cell phone is behind the seat
or in the glove box.
– A metal material covers or
touches the cell phone.
. Depending on the type of cell phone
that is used, the screen on the cell
phone may remain illuminated while
the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position. If this occurs, turn the illumi-
nation off by adjusting the cell phone
settings.
. Depending on the setting of the cell
phone, the dial lock function may be
activated after making a call. Deacti-
vate the automatic dial lock function of
the cell phone before using the Hands-
free system.
. Depending on the type of cell phone
that is used, operation and the sound
volume may be different from those of
cell phones currently used.
. When the ignition switch is turned to
the “LOCK”/“OFF” position during a
call, the call may be disconnected or
continued on the cell phone depending
on the type of cell phone that is used.
Note that operation of the cell phone
may be necessary if the call is con-
tinued on the cell phone.
. Do not speak at the same time as the
other party during a call. If you and the
party speak at the same time, it may be
difficult for the other party to hear your
voice and vice versa. This is normal.
. The receiver sound volume should
be set as low as possible. Otherwise,
the party you are calling may notice an
undesirable echo sound.
. Speak clearly and loudly.
. Your voice may be difficult to be
heard by the party under the following
conditions.
– Driving on a rough road.
– Driving at a high speed.
– Driving with a window open.
– When air from the ventilator
blows directly towards the micro-
phone.
– When the sound coming from the
ventilator is loud.
– When the cell phone is too close
to the microphone.
