Connected Service is a service achieved through a communication network, therefore the vehicle is equipped with a dedicated communication unit.

  • The communication unit conforms to radio wave laws and telecommunications business law standards, and transmits with the Connected Service system using the mobile phone network. Disassembly or modification of the communication unit may be punishable by law.
  • If the communication unit in the vehicle has difficulty receiving mobile phone network radio waves, Connected Service may not function normally or instructed commands may not be executed.
  • The communication unit equipped on your vehicle uses free software/open source software.

    During this update, a part of the functions such as Remote Control are unusable.
  • Use the radio wave reception level indications of the communication unit as follows:

Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of communication equipment in vehicles in your country: Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Use of these devices will cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use. Never use a cell phone or other electrical devices while the vehicle is moving and, instead, concentrate on the full-time job of driving.
