Making a call via Bluetooth

You can connect a Bluetooth device with the hands-free function to use a Bluetooth phone. The Bluetooth connection allows you to view call details directly from the system screen, and to make calls safely and easily use the system microphone and speaker.

Warning

  • •  While driving, do not make a call by dialing a phone number or do not pick up your phone to talk. Distraction by the use of a mobile phone may cause you not to recognize traffic flow around and not to cope with unexpected situations. As a result, a traffic accident may occur. If necessary, use the Bluetooth hands-free function and make the call as short as possible.
