tons on the steering wheel or voice com-
mands at car standstill. When the car is
moving, you can use voice commands on-
ly. Instructions are provided for both
methods.
If you encounter difficulties with any of
the Blue&Me™settings, consult section
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.
