When you register a phone, auto connection will be activated. Always set it to this mode and leave the bluetooth® phone in a place where a connection can be established.

When the engine switch is turned to the “acc” or “on” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or accessory or ignition on mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the system will search for a nearby cellular phone you have registered.

Next, the system automatically connects with the most recent of the phones connected to in the past. Then, the connection result is displayed.

Manual connection

When auto connection has failed or “bluetooth* power” is turned off, you must connect the bluetooth® device manually.

Reconnecting a bluetooth® phone

If the system cannot connect due to poor signal strength with the engine switch in the “acc” or “on” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or accessory or ignition on mode (vehicles with a smart key system), the system will automatically attempt to reconnect.

If the phone is turned off, the system will not attempt to reconnect. In this case, the connection must be made manually, or the phone must be reselected.
