your mobile phone manually and visually using the
steering wheel controls and the instrument panel multi-
function display.To get started with BLUE&ME™ hands-free kit with
voice recognition, you have to simply pair your
Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled mobile phone
with the system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made only once.
NOTE:
•
During the mobile phone pairing procedure,
BLUE&ME™ attempts to detect a phone equipped
with Bluetooth® wireless technology within range and
then establishes the connection using a Personal Iden-
tification Number (PIN).
• Once your phone is paired, you have the option to
transfer your mobile phone contacts to the hands-free
kit, to make a phone call either by using the contacts
list or directly pronouncing the phone number, to
answer a call and also to answer another incoming
phone call.

and connected to the BLUE&ME™ system. It does not
provide access to messages that were received before the
