Connecting a Bluetooth device

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless networking technology. The Bluetooth communication function allows you to exchange data by connecting a Bluetooth device to another neighbouring Bluetooth device without a cable connection. With this function, you can use different types of devices more efficiently.

To make a phone call or play audio from a Bluetooth device, check the following first:

• •  For a device that is not registered to the system, ▶  Refer to "Registering a device."
• •  A registered device will automatically connect to the system when you bring it near the system. If it does not automatically connect, ▶  Refer to "Connecting a registered device," "Disconnecting a registered device."

Warning

Park your vehicle in a safe place before connecting a Bluetooth device to the system. A traffic accident while connecting may result in severe or fatal injury.

• The Bluetooth connection function supports only the hands-free and audio related functions. Connect your mobile phone, MP3 player, or device that supports the hands-free or audio function.
