Blue&MeTMbased on Windows Mo-
bile™, is a personal telematic system that
allows for the use of applications for com-
munication and entertainment, specially
designed for use in vehicles. The system
fitted on your vehicle has the following
functions: hands free, SMS text reader (not
all mobile phones support this function),
multimedia player and navigator; it is also
prepared for additional services that will
become available in the course of time.
The system makes a whole range of func-
tions available, however it is useful to
know that:
– not all mobile phones support them
fully, such as, for example listening to an
incoming SMS message or automatic
downloading of the directory.
– certain improvements are required for
using an iPod (see dedicated paragraph).Thanks to its complete integration with
the voice commands, the controls on the
steering wheel, Instant Nav controls and
the information in the on-board multi-
function display, the system allows cus-
tomers who have a mobile phone with
Bluetooth
®, to use it even if it is in their
jacket pocket or handbag without ever
having to take their hands off the steer-
ing wheel. In order to use the voice com-
mands the voice recognition system does
not require any preparation process. The
system is capable of recognizing the voice
commands given, irrespective of gender,
by the tone of voice and intonation of the
person giving the instructions. It is possi-
ble to listen to music stored on a USB de-
vice, selecting the tracks and play modes
using either the controls on the steering
wheel or voice commands.HANDS FREE
The basic feature of this function is hands
free telephone communication with voice
recognition and Bluetooth
®. technology.
This system allows you to make and re-
ceive phone calls through voice commands
or using the manual controls on the steer-
ing wheel in complete safety, freedom and
comfort whilst driving in accordance with
the highway code.
Bluetooth
®technology makes it pos-
sible to use your mobile phone through
the hands free system on the car without
the need for connections.
To use the hands free function you need
a mobile phone with Bluetooth
®. This
function also offers you the opportunity
of speaking on the phone whilst driving
even if your mobile phone does not pos-
sess this capability. You can interact man-
ually and visually with your mobile phone
using the manual controls on the steer-
ing wheel and in the on board multifunc-
tion display.

fer to the COMPATIBLE TECHNOLO-
GY chapter.
To start using the hands free function
with voice recognition, simply register
your mobile phone with Bluetooth
®on
the system.
You only hve to register your mobile
phone in the system once.
Note

nection using a PIN (Personal Identifica-
tion Number).

tered, you can transfer the names in your
phonelist onto the system, make a call us-
ing the directory or by saying the phone
number directly, accept a call and answer
a second incoming call.You can use both the controls on the
steering wheel and voice recognition to
interact with the system. You can activate
the system functions using voice recogni-
tion by giving specific voice commands that
are recognized by the system. When the
system recognizes a voice command it will
respond with the appropriate action.
Voice recognition is an easy, practical way
of using the system.
All the system functions are accessible
via the system Main Menu. You can navi-
gate the menu using either the controls on
the steering wheel or voice commands
with the car stationary.
When the car is moving, you can only in-
teract with the system using the controls
on the steering wheel or voice commands
for functions relating to the telephone
(LAST CALLS and PHONEBOOK) and
the multimedia player. Only voice com-
mands can be used whilst driving to acti-
vate setting functions.The following operations can be carried
out using the hands free function:
–Calling someone in the phone di-
rectory using voice commands- you
can call someone in your mobile phone
book using your voice. You can also phone
someone in your phone book by selecting
them from the names that appear in the
control panel display.
(This function requires your phone book
to be copied onto the car’s hands free sys-
tem).
–Calling a phone number through
voice commands- you can dial a phone
number by saying the digits.
–Making a phone call to the sender

mands or using the controls on the steer-
ing wheel. When using the hands free sys-
tem, the telephone conversation audio is
broadcast via the car speakers.THE SMS TEXT MESSAGE
READER
(Function only available with
compatible mobile phones)

ed in the system makes it possible,
through voice synthesis technology, to au-
tomatically read incoming messages on
your mobile phone with Bluetooth
®

and it can even interpret any abbreviations
and emoticons in the text message.
The SMS text message reader functions
are managed through the controls on the
steering wheel or the system voice con-
trols.The system SMS message reader makes
it possible to:
– Be informed, by means of a warning
message in the instrument panel multi-
function display, of a new incoming SMS
text message on your mobile phone with
Bluetooth
®, with the number/name of
the sender displayed and the system will
also suggest reading the message to you.
– Manage the list of SMS text messages
received on your mobile phone connect-
ed to the system.
– Re-read SMS text messages already re-
ceived and saved.
– Make a voice call, using the controls
on the steering wheel or voice commands,
to the sender of the SMS text message re-
ceived
– Delete individual SMS text messages
or the entire list of SMS text messages re-
ceived using the controls on the steering
wheel or voice commands.
The system is also capable of recogniz-
ing and reading any abbreviations (for ex-
ample, “TVB” will be read as “Ti voglio
bene” - I love you) and interpreting the
most frequently used symbols (e.g. :-) will
be read as “Smile”) in text messages.

graph.The following operations can be carried
out using the multimedia player:

egory- you can play all digital audio be-
longing to a certain category, for exam-
ple an album, artist or music genre.

playing tracks you can use several func-
tions such as Play, Stop, Next track, Pre-
vious track, Random and Track repeat.Note
The multimedia player does not support
compressed audio files with other formats

Right Management). If there are audio files
on the USB device that are not support-
ed, they will be ignored.
To use the multimedia player, simply
connect your USB device (directly or with
the help of an extension) to the USB port
in the car. When the ignition key is turned
to the MAR position the system will start
to create your multimedia library index.

The use of several of the system functions whilst driving can distract attention away from
the road with the risk of causing an accident or other serious consequences; they should
therefore only be used when driving conditions permit and, if necessary, on with the car stationary.WARNING
ROAD SAFETY
Read these Instructions and Follow them: before using your system, read all the safety infor-
mation and instructions in this user manual (“User Guide”) and follow them. Failure to observe the
precautions in the User Guide can result in accidents or other serious consequences.
Keep the Manual in the car: if it is kept in the car, the User Guide will become something quick and easy to consult for those not familiar with
the system. Before using the system, make sure that everyone has easy access to the User Guide and that they read the safety information and in-
structions carefully.
WARNING Consulting the system whilst driving can distract attention away from the road with the risk of causing an acci-
dent or other serious consequences. Do not change the system settings whilst driving or enter information other than verbal-
ly (i.e. using the manual controls). Before carrying out these operations, stop the car safely in accordance with the highway
code. It is important to take this precaution because setting or changing some of the functions may cause the driver to be
distracted from the road and take their hands off the steering wheel.WARNING

GENERAL OPERATION
Voice command controls:the system functions can be carried out using voice commands only. Us-
ing voice commands whilst driving means that the system can be operated without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
Prolonged view of the display:never consult anything whilst driving that requires looking at the display for a long time. Stop the car safely in
accordance with the highway code before consulting any of the system functions that requires prolonged attention. Even only glancing at the dis-
play occasionally can have a dangerous affect if the driver’s attention is distracted at a critical time.
Setting the volume:do not turn the volume up too high. Whilst driving, keep the volume at a level where you can still here the traffic outside
and emergency signals. Driving without being able to hear these can cause accidents.
Use of Voice Recognition:the voice recognition software is based on a statistical process that is subject to error. It is your responsibility to
monitor the voice recognition functions allowed by the system and to correct any mistakes.
Dangers of Distraction:the functions could require manual settings (not using voice commands). Making these settings or entering information
whilst driving can distract attention causing an accident or resulting in serious danger. Before carrying out these operations, stop the car safely in
accordance with the highway code.WARNING

“Settings” and, at the end of the message,
“Help”. The system will give the list of
voice commands available for the Settings
menu.
– You can now say one of the com-
mands available and proceed with the di-
alogue as you wish.
– If you need further help press
‘and
