After you place your mobile phone in the
car environment and create a pairing rela-
tionship with Blue&Me™, you can make
phone calls by speaking keywords or press-
ing buttons on the steering wheel. When
using the hands-free phone, the audio out-
put of a phone conversation is heard
through your car sound speakers.MESSAGE READER
The Blue&Me™message reader enables
automatic reading, through the car sound
system, of the SMS texts you receive on
your Bluetooth
®wireless technology
mobile phone. The message reader will al-
so interpret any abbreviation and emoti-
con contained in the SMS text.
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 on the instrument panel
multifunction display a visual notifi-
cation signal indicating that you have
received a new SMS text on your
Bluetooth
®wireless technology
mobile phone, with sender’s num-
ber/name;
Blue&Me™will also pro-
pose you to read the message received
❒ To manage the list of SMS texts re-
ceived on your Blue&Me™ paired
mobile phone
❒ To read again the messages received
and stored
❒ 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 recog-
nize 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”), adopted
nowadays to write SMS texts.

MEDIA PLAYER
With the Blue&Me™media player you
can play, via the car sound system, the dig-
ital audio files stored on a USB device by
simply connecting it to the USB port lo-
cated in the car.
In this way, while you are driving you can
play your favourite personal music collec-
tions.
The media player enables the following op-
erations:
❒Digital audio playback- you can play
all your digital audio files (.mp3, .wma,
.wav) or play a customized playlist (.m3u
or .wplformat).
❒Audio file selection by category-
you can play all audio files of a certain
category, e.g.: album, artist or genre.
❒Playback options- while playing tracks
you can select the following options: Play,
Stop, Next track, Previous track, Shuffle and
Loop track.
Note
The media player does not support audio
files compressed with other formats (e.g.:
.aac) and DRM (Digital Right Management)
protected audio files. Non-supported au-
dio files that may be present on the USB
device will be ignored.To use the media player, you have to sim-
ply connect (directly or by an extension
lead) your USB device to the car USB
port. Turning the ignition key to MAR,
Blue&Me™will start building your me-
dia library. At the end of this operation
you can surf the whole library and scroll
its categories as required using the but-
tons on the steering wheel or voice com-
mands. Blue&Me™will then play your
selection via the car sound system.

MEDIA PLAYER QUICK
REFERENCE GUIDE
To start playing the digital audio files
stored on your USB device, proceed as
follows:
❒Copy tracks to your USB device
(Blue&Me™recognizes .wma, .mp3
and .wavformats for audio files and .wpl
and .m3uformats for playlists).
❒USB devices without USB wire: just
connect the USB device (directly or by
an extension lead) to the USB port on
the car (see fig. 1).
❒USB devices with USB wire: use the
wire to connect the USB device to the
USB port on the car (see fig. 1).
❒Turn the ignition key to MAR.
Blue&Me™will start automatically to
play your digital tracks selecting them
from the library built at the moment the
USB device is connected.
❒After Blue&Me™has built the library
containing your digital audio files, you can
select and play tracks, albums, artists and
playlists by interacting manually or ver-
bally with Blue&Me™. Building the li-
brary may require a few minutes if your
USB device contains several files.

To issue a voice command to the system,
press
‘and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then,
speak the command in your natural voice
at a moderate pace. When the system rec-
ognizes the command, it will acknowledge
your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
stlevel, 2ndlev-
el and 3rdlevel.
When a valid* 1
stlevel keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlev-
el keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rdlevel keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
stlevel key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a key-
word leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
nd
and 3rdlevel).
For the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.To repeat the last system voice an-
nouncement, press
‘for longer than 1
second or press shortly
‘and pro-
nounce “Repeat”.
The system can issue voice announce-
ments. A voice announcement is a spoken
message initiated by the system. To can-
cel a voice announcement, press
&/ESC,
or press
‘and pronounce “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way commu-
nication/spoken exchange between system
and user. To initiate a voice interaction,
press
‘and issue a command. To inter-
rupt an ongoing interaction and start a
new interaction, press
‘at any time dur-
ing the interaction and issue a voice com-
mand.
To stop an ongoing interaction press
&/ESC. You will hear a tone indicating
when voice recognition is deactivated.
The hands-free kit help option can speak
the list of commands available to you at
any time, depending on the keyword lev-
el that you are currently on. To use the
help system, say “HelpListen to the list
of currently available commands and de-
cide on which command you’d like to is-
sue to the system.Adjust the volume of phone calls to a lev-
el that is comfortable and safe while the
car is in motion. To adjust the default vol-
ume of Blue&Me™, see paragraph “EX-
TERNAL AUDIO VOL function” in the
sound system owner handbook. To tem-
porarily adjust the volume of the current
phone call, press +or –or adjust the po-
sition of the radio knob. After the phone
call is disconnected, the volume will revert

announcement, you can always press
