DESCRIPTION
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The hands-free cellular system on this vehicle uses
Bluetooth™ technology to provide wireless communi-
cation between the operator's compatible cellular
telephone and the vehicle's on-board receiver.
The system uses voice recognition technology to
control operation. The incoming voice is broadcast
through the vehicle's radio speakers, automatically
overriding any other audio signals on the front
speakers when the hands-free system is in use. A
microphone in the rearview mirror picks up vehicle
occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the
ignition is switched off, the hands-free system will
continue to operate for up to 45 seconds as part of
the Accessory Relay Delay function. Thereafter, the
call can continue on the hand-held telephone.
The system will communicate with a telephone
that is anywhere within the vehicle. However, cover-
ing the hand held phone or the hands-free phone
module with a metal object may block the signal. The
system will recognize up to seven telephones, each of
which is given a spoken identification by the user
during the setup process. The system includes Span-
ish and French voice recognition in addition to
English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with
ISO icons, control the system: A phone button turns
the system on and off; a voice recognition (or voice
command) button prompts the hands-free system to
listen for a voice command.

Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with
ISO icons, control the system: A phone button turns
the system on and off; a voice recognition (or voice
command) button prompts the hands-free system to
listen for a voice command. The system includes the
following features:
• Phone book - Stores telephone numbers for later
recall by name or other verbal identification, called a
voice tag, and memory location.
• Four memory locations - Home, Work, Cellular
and Pager. A maximum of 32 unique names or voice
tags may be stored at the same time, with a different
number in each of the four memory locations.
• Voice tag dialing - Dials the number associated
with a voice tag and memory location.
• Digit dialing - Dials the telephone number by
recognizing the names of the digits as they are spo-
ken.
• Receiving calls - A voice prompt notifies the user
of an incoming call. A voice response accepts or
rejects the call without manual intervention.
• Privacy Mode - Switches the call to the hand-
held telephone and the hands-free system and back
again using the "voice recognition" (or "voice com-
mand") button and a voice command, if desired.
