FUNCTIONS OF THE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Blue&Me™ Navleads you to your cho-
sen destination quickly and safely by means
of its navigation function by means of voice
synthesis and pictograms that appear on a
reconfigurable multifunction display on the
control panel. The navigation system al-
lows you to navigate towards a destina-
tion address, to call up programmed des-
tinations or points of interest (e.g.: hotels,
restaurants, chemists, airports, railway sta-
tions, authorised workshops etc.). The
car’s position is determined by the GPS
(Global Position System), by processing
signals from GPS satellites and the car’s
odometric signals. Blue&Me™ Navus-
es digital mapping data preloaded onto
your USB device to lead you to your de-
sired destination by the best possible
route from your current location.Notes
❒GPS reception is difficult under trees,
among tall buildings, in covered car-
parks, in tunnels and in any place where
the satellite aerial reception may be hin-
dered.
❒The Blue&Me™ Navnavigator takes
a few minutes to determine the car’s
new position if the car is moved with
the system turned off (e.g. after trans-
porting the car on a ferry).
❒If the vehicle battery is disconnected,
the GPS takes about 15 minutes to ac-
tivate.
❒The system is equipped with a self-cal-
ibration function that needs to oper-
ate for about 100 km when the system
is first turned on or if the tyres are
changed. During this stage, the position
could be calculated with less accuracy.
❒Under continuous conditions of low
wheel grip (e.g. when skidding on ice),
the system may temporarily record an
inaccurate position.
Navigation display
On the control panel reconfigurable mul-
tifunction display (see fig. 3), the ma-
noeuvres to be carried out (right turn, left
turn, drive round round-about, go straight
on or change direction) are displayed by
means of pictograms.The display also indicates the name of the
current street and the distance to the next
turn-off. The name shown near the turn-
off is that of the street where the ma-
noeuvre is to be carried out.
A– Navigation pictogram
B– Distance to the next turn-off
C– Street name
Voice messages
The voice messages issued by the system
recommend all manoeuvres to be carried
in plenty of time: in particular, advance
warning of the manoeuvre to be carried
out is given, followed by detailed instruc-
tions on when to carry out the manoeu-
vre.
To repeat the last voice message, press
the
‘key and say “Next maneuver”.
The instructions provided by
Blue&Me™ Nav do not ex-
onerate the driver from full responsi-
bility for any manoeuvres carried out
in traffic while driving the car and for
respecting the highway code and oth-
er road traffic regulations. Responsi-
bility for road safety always lies with
the driver of the car under all circum-
stances.
