If you encounter difficulties with any of

TROUBLESHOOTING.PAIRING A MOBILE PHONE
Before you can use your mobile phone
with the hands-free phone function on
your car, you must create a pairing rela-
tionship between the mobile phone and
the hands-free phone system.
During the pairing procedure, the hands-
free phone system attempts to detect a
phone equipped with Bluetooth
®wire-
less technology within range, and then es-
tablishes the connection using a Personal
Identification Number (PIN). After a pair-
ing relationship is established, you can use
the hands-free phone system to make and
receive phone calls, and do other opera-
tions via your wirelessly-connected mo-
bile phone.
IMPORTANT The mobile phone pairing
PIN number is a special PIN generated
randomly at each new pairing and used
just for this operation. It is not your SIM
PIN and therefore it is not required to
store or to keep it in mind; loosing it will
not impair the hands-free phone system
operation.
The pairing procedure will only need to
be performed once for your mobile
phone. After this procedure Blue&Me™
will automatically connect to your phone
each time you get into the car and turn
the ignition key to MAR.You can create a pairing relationship us-
ing the PAIRINGoption in the SET-
TINGSmenu.
?
To create a pairing relationship us-
ing manual interaction, proceed as
follows:
Press 
ßto open the Main Menu,
then select SETTINGSby press-
ing OKor 
ß.
Select PAIRINGand then press
OKor 
ß. The system will start the
pairing procedure.
The system shows the mobile
phone pairing PIN on the instru-
ment panel display and repeats it.
Please note that this is a PIN used
just for this operation, it is not your
SIM PIN. 
For the next two steps, consult your
mobile phone owner’s manual about
Bluetooth
®pairing.

To improve both the voice recognition of
your phonebook entries and Blue&Me™
pronunciation accuracy when repeating
the entries, please try to enter contact en-
tries and memorize them using the fol-
lowing criteria:
❒Avoid abbreviations.
❒Write foreign names according to the
way in which they are pronounced ac-
cording to the rules of the
Blue&Me™language set on your car.
For example, enter “Tanja” as “Tanya”,
to improve recognition accuracy and al-
so to obtain the correct pronunciation
by the system. 
❒When adding or editing contact entries,
insert the appropriate accent marks
when the name requires these marks
to be properly pronounced and recog-
nized by the system. For example en-
ter “Nicolo Rebora” as “Nicolò Rébo-
ra” to obtain the correct pronunciation.
❒When adding or editing contact entries,
bear in mind that certain isolated block
letter may be read as Roman numer-
als (e.g.: V may be read as fifth).
❒When calling contacts by voice, do not
include the middle names or middle ini-
tials of your contacts. Notes
❒You are only required to pair your mo-
bile phone a single time.
❒You can pair up to five mobile phones,
to be used one at a time.
❒On your paired mobile phone, the
Bluetooth®setting must be turned on
in order to connect your mobile phone
with Blue&Me™.
❒Before transferring your mobile phone
contacts to the hands-free system,
make sure that each contact first and
last name is unique and distinctly rec-
ognizable so that the voice recognition
system will function properly.
❒The system will download only valid
contact entries. A valid contact entry
must include both a name and at least
one phone number.
