TRY OUT THE VOICE
COMMANDS
At each stage of your dialogue with the
system, you can always use the voice com-
mand “Help”, to get detailed indications
about the voice commands available at the
current dialogue stage.
To try out the “Help” function, proceed
as follows:
❒Press the steering wheel button ‘.
❒After Blue&Me™plays a tone indi-
cating that voice recognition is active,
pronounce “Help”. Blue&Me™will
speak the list of voice commands avail-
able.
❒After the general help message is fin-
ished, pronounce “Settings” and then
“Help”. Blue&Me™will speak again
the list of voice commands available for
the SETTINGSmenu.
❒You can then pronounce one of the
available commands and proceed with
the dialogue as you like.
❒If you need further help, press ‘and
pronounce again “Help”.PAIR YOUR MOBILE PHONE
IMPORTANT Carry out this operation
only with the car stopped.
To pair your mobile phone, proceed as
follows:
❒Press ‘and pronounce “Settings”
then, at the end of the Blue&Me™
message say “Pairing”.
❒The system will show the phone pair-
ing PIN number on the multifunction
display. For the next two steps, consult
your mobile phone owner’s manual
about Bluetooth
®pairing.
❒On your mobile phone, query for de-
vices equipped with Bluetooth®wire-
less technology (the setting on your
mobile phone might be called Discover
or New Device). In this list you will find
“Blue&Me” (name identifying the
Blue&Me
™system on your car): se-
lect it.

strument panel display using your mo-
bile phone keypad. If pairing is success-
ful, the system will say “Connecting”

firmation message on the display. Pressing
ßor ESCbefore the message is displayed
may cancel the pairing process. If the pair-
ing process fails, an error message will be

ing. This message will no longer be heard
at next pairing procedures.

❒Blue&Me™will ask if you would like
to copy your paired phone phonebook
to Blue&Me™. It is recommended to
copy it. To start copying the phonebook
say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
❒For certain mobile phones the phone-
book is not copied automatically, in this
case you must transfer the phonebook
contacts using your mobile phone key-
pad. If Blue&Me™asks you to do this,
then perform this procedure following
the instructions specific to your mobile
phone and press
ßwhen you have fin-
ished. MAKING A PHONE CALL
Assume that “John” is one of the contacts
stored in your phonebook.
To call John, proceed as follows:
❒Press the steering wheel button ‘and
pronounce “Call John”.
❒If the name is recognized, the system
will display the recognized contact’s in-
formation on the display screen.
If there is just one phone number for John
in your phonebook, the system will ask if
you would like to call John. To start the
call say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
If John has several phone numbers, the
system will ask which phone number you
would like to call (e.g.: “Call John (at)
Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with
the type of required phone number (e.g.:
“(at) Home”). If John has several phone numbers but the
“location” (i.e.: the type of phone number
like work, home, etc.) is missing, the sys-
tem will display the selected contact and
a list of related phone numbers. The
hands-free phone system will ask if you
would like to call the phone number dis-
played. To respond with “yes”, pronounce
“Yes”, otherwise pronounce “No”. If this
is the correct contact but the wrong num-
ber, say “Forward” or “Backward” to
navigate to the phone number you’d like
to call. To call the displayed phone num-
ber, pronounce “Call”. You can also surf
the phone number list manually by press-
ing the buttons on the steering wheel
Qor Zuntil you find the required number.

ßor OKto start the call.
❒To end the phone call, press ßfor
longer than 1 second.

the voice recognition operations, consult

HOW TO USE
Blue&Me™
CONTROLS STEERING WHEEL
Buttons on the steering wheel (see fig. 1)
are used to perform functions on the
hands-free kit, activating voice recognition,
using the media player functions or select-
ing a Blue&Me™menu option.
Certain buttons have multiple functions
which depend on the current state of the
system.
The function chosen in response to a key
press is in some cases controlled by the
duration of the key press (short or long).

For further information read chapter
DISPLAY AND BUTTONS ON THE
STEERING WHEEL.
Note
Instructions concerning manual controls
are identified in the text by symbol
?.VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be pronounced by
the driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is
properly located and oriented to this pur-
pose.
Voice commands, which are words rec-
ognized by the system, are identified as
“keywords”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes
and responds to a preset list of voice com-
mands. The list of available voice com-
mands depends on the keyword level that
you are currently on. The current list is al-
ways available by pressing
‘and pro-
nouncing “Help” or, pronouncing “Help”
after whichever question of the system.
Blue&Me™also recognizes personalized
versions of voice commands like the name
of a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training required for us-
ing voice commands with this system.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.
* Validmeans that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™“dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.

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 a conversation and start a new one,
press
‘at any time during the conver-
sation and pronounce a vocal command.
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
“EXTERNAL AUDIO VOL function” in
the sound system owner handbook. To
temporarily adjust the volume of the cur-
rent phone call, press +or –or adjust the
position of the radio knob. After the

❒Instructions concerning voice com-
mands are identified in the text by sym-
bol
}.
❒After you press ‘, if you do not is-
sue a voice command within a few sec-
onds, the system will prompt you to
pronounce a voice command. If you do
not respond, then voice recognition
shuts off. It is the same case with not
responding to a question during a voice
interaction. You will hear a tone indi-
cating when voice recognition is deac-
tivated.
❒When the system fails to recognize
your voice command, it will give you an-
other opportunity to re-pronounce the
voice command. If you are unsure of
whether the voice command is appro-
priate for the given context, pronounce
“Help”.
