The Blue&Me™system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of in-
teracting with your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology mobile phone (even if you
keep it in your pocket or bag) without hav-
ing to take your eyes off the road or re-
moving your hands from the steering
wheel. To use voice commands you are
not required to train the voice recognition
system to recognize your voice. This im-
plies that the system is nearly equally per-
forming with different persons, i.e.: the
voice recognition system is of the “speak-
er independent” type.
With this system you can also play your
favourite music stored on USB device and
select tracks and playback modes with
both voice commands or buttons on the
steering wheel.THE HANDS-FREE KIT
The basic characteristic of this hands-free
kit is voice recognition with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology. With this system you
can make and receive calls safely and se-
curely using either voice commands or
buttons on the steering wheel under what-
ever driving condition without having to
take your eyes off the road or removing
your hands from the steering wheel, as re-
quired by current law regulations.
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your car.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology,
message reader and media player

plications expressly designed for use in the

sage reader and media player, and it is pre-
