Bluetooth® is the short-distance digital wireless communication technology using 2.45 GHz frequency band. The communication effective area is within 10 m, and the feature is that the communication can be achieved even when an obstacle is present between the communicating devices.

Pairing can be performed with 7 cellular phones at the maximum (Some Bluetooth® cellular phones may not be compatible with the hands free module).
When the hands free cellular phone system is used, the communication speech and voice information are output from the front door speaker (RH) and tweeter (RH) (vehicles without audio amplifier) or front door speaker (RH) (vehicles with audio amplifier).
While output is made from the hands-free module to the audio system, the audio system mutes audio output from the front door speaker (RH) and tweeter (RH) (vehicles without audio amplifier) or from the front door speaker (RH) (vehicles with audio amplifier) except communication speech and voice information.
The hands-free module can store 32 registration names (4 telephone numbers for each name) per language.
During a call, the voice output from the interphone microphone to the cellular phone can be stopped by voice operation.
The use languages can be changed among American English, Canadian French, and American Spanish.
While the hands-free cellular phone system is activated, the display shows "Phone" or "PHONE". However, on the multi-center display (7-inch wide liquid crystal monitor display type), "Phone" disappears in approximately 10 seconds when the screen is other than the audio screen.
