Some basics
The hands-free system enables
calls to be made and received with-
out having to take your hands off
the steering wheel.
This system supports Bluetooth
®
.
Bluetooth
®
is a wireless data sys-
tem that enables cellular phones to
be used without being connected
by a cable or placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the
phone is explained here.
When an Apple CarPlay connec-
tion is established, phone functions
will be performed by Apple
CarPlay instead of the hands-free
system.
