Hands-Free outline

When a Bluetooth

device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth

unit via

radio wave transmission, a call can be made or received by pressing the talk button, pick-up
button, or hang-up button on the audio remote control switch, or by operating the center

Bluetooth

audio outline

When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth

communication function is paired

to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable audio device from the
vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio device to the vehicle's
external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/
stop the audio.

NOTE



For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle
starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before
pairing.



The communication range of a Bluetooth

equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or

less.



Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetooth

is not

connected.



For safety reasons, operation of the center display is disabled while the vehicle is being
driven. However, items not displayed in gray can be operated using the commander
switch while the vehicle is being driven.

CAUTION

Some Bluetooth

mobile devices are not compatible with the vehicle. Consult an Authorized

Mazda Dealer, Mazda's call center or Web support center for information regarding

audio device pairing

Any Bluetooth

audio device must be

paired to the vehicle's Bluetooth

unit

before it can be listened to over the
vehicle's speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including
Bluetooth

audio devices and hands-free

mobile phones can be paired to one
vehicle.

NOTE



If a Bluetooth

device has already been

paired to the vehicle as a hands-free
mobile phone, it does not need to be
paired again when using the device as a
Bluetooth

audio device. Conversely, it

does not need to be paired again as a
hands-free mobile phone if it has
already been paired as a Bluetooth

audio device.



Device registration can also be done
using voice recognition.

Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth

audio device itself, refer to its instruction
manual.
Some Bluetooth

audio devices have PIN

codes (four digits). Refer to the audio
device's instruction manual because the
pairing procedure differs depending on
whether it has a PIN code or not.
