Message reader functions are managed by the control
buttons on the steering wheel or by the BLUE&ME™
voice commands.
The BLUE&ME™ message reader enables the following
operations:
•To display an indicator on the instrument panel that
indicates you have received a new SMS text. It will
display the sender’s number/name and will ask you
whether to read the text of the message to you.

BLUE&ME™ paired mobile phone.
•To read the messages received and stored. Messages
can be read multiple times.
•To call the SMS text sender using the buttons on the
steering wheel or voice commands.
•To delete individual messages or the entire inbox using
the buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands.
The BLUE&ME™ system can also recognize and read
abbreviations, if any (e.g. “ILUVU” will be read like “I
love you”) and interpret the most usual emoticons (e.g. :-)
will be read like “Smile”), that are currently used to write
SMS texts.

digital audio files stored on a USB device by simply
connecting it to the USB port located in the center console
of the car. A second USB port, used for charging only, is
located in the glovebox.
In this way, while you are driving you can play your
favorite music collections.

CAUTION!
•Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
•Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with great caution.
•After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
CIGAR LIGHTER — IF EQUIPPED
This is located on the center console, in front of the cup
holders. To activate the cigar lighter, push and release the
knob. After a few seconds the knob automatically returns
to its initial position, and the cigar lighter is ready for use.
WARNING!
When the cigar lighter is in use it becomes very hot.
To avoid serious injury, handle the cigar lighter with
care. Always check that the cigar lighter has turned
off.
