ROAD SAFETY
Read and Follow Instructions: before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this end
user manual (“User’s Guide”). Not following precautions found in this User’s Guide can lead to an accident or other serious conse-
quences.
Keep User’s Guide in the car: when kept in the car, the User’s Guide will be a ready reference for you and other users unfamiliar with the
system. Please make certain that before using the system for the first time, all persons have access to the User’s Guide and read its instructions
and safety information carefully.
WARNING: Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly
cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your
hands) while driving. Stop the car in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since
while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and re-
move your hands from the wheel.
GENERAL OPERATION
Voice Command Control: functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while dri-
ving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen: do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen
may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency sig-
nals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is your
responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.
Distraction Hazard: any features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert data while driving can
seriously distract your attention and could cause an accident or other serious consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
attempting these operations.
WARNING
Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly cause an
accident or other serious consequences; for this reason certain functions shall only be used when driving conditions are se-
cure and, if required, only when the car is stopped.

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.

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.On your mobile phone, query for
devices equipped with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology that are within
range (this option on your mobile
phone might be called Discover,
New Device, etc.). View the list of
Bluetooth
®wireless technology
enabled devices and select
“Blue&Me” or “My Car” (item
that identifies Blue&Me™on your

When prompted by the mobile
phone, enter the PIN number
shown on the instrument panel dis-
play. If pairing is successful, the sys-
tem will say “Connecting” and
then the display will show the paired
mobile phone ID.
It is of vital importance to wait un-
til this confirmation message is dis-
played since pressing
ß/MAINor
&/ESCat this time may cancel the
pairing process. If pairing fails, an er-
ror message will be displayed and
the pairing procedure shall be re-
peated.At first pairing, the system will say
“Welcome” immediately after
connecting. This message will no
longer be heard at next pairing pro-
cedures.
The system asks if you would like to
copy your paired phone phone-
book. It is recommended to copy it.

ically, in this case you must send the
contacts in your mobile phone
phonebook to the hands-free phone
system using your mobile phone
keypad. If the hands-free phone sys-
tem asks you to do this, then per-
form this procedure following the
instructions specific to your mobile
phone and press

Practical hints
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.
❒If you would like to re-pair your mobile
phone, delete the old pairing relation-
ship first. During this operation all user
data will be deleted. To delete the old
pairing relationship, use the menu option
USER DATA, DELETE USERS. On
your mobile phone, delete “Blue&Me”
or “My Car” from the list of Blue-
tooth
®devices following the specific in-
structions for your mobile phone (re-
fer to your mobile phone owner’s man-
ual).
❒If you download a phonebook with a
contacts list including more than 1000
contacts, the system may operate slow-
er than expected and voice recognition
of the names in your phonebook may
degrade.
❒If the pairing relationship is accidental-
ly deleted, the pairing procedure shall
be repeated.
