■ Steering switch

By pressing the phone switch, a call can be received or ended without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

A - Phone switch

• If the switch is pressed during a call, the call will end.
• If the switch is pressed when an incoming call is received, the call will be answered.
• If the switch is pressed during a call when a separate incoming call is waiting, the waiting call will be answered.
• If the switch is pressed when an Apple CarPlay connection is established, the Apple CarPlay phone application will be displayed on the system screen.

B - Volume control switch

• Press the “+” side to increase the volume.
• Press the “-” side to decrease the volume.

■ Microphone

The microphone is used when talking on the phone.

• The other party’s voice will be heard from the front speakers. The audio/visual system will be muted during phone calls or when hands-free voice commands are used.
• Talk alternately with the other party on the phone. If both parties speak at the same time, the other party may not hear what has been said. (This is not a malfunction.)
• Keep call volume down. Otherwise, the other party’s voice may be audible outside the vehicle and voice echo may increase. When talking on the phone, speak clearly towards the microphone.
• The other party may not hear you clearly when:
  • Driving on an unpaved road. (Making excessive traffic noise.)
  • Driving at high speeds.
  • The windows are open.
  • The air conditioning vents are pointed towards the microphone.
  • The sound of the air conditioning fan is loud.
  • There is a negative effect on sound quality due to the phone and/or network being used.

NOTICE

Do not touch and put a sharp object to the microphone. It may cause failure.
