DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of
accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood
alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drink-
ing, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver,
call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your
perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,
and your judgment is impaired when you have been
drinking. Never drink and then drive.

INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING
EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this
vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio
frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone
equipment must be installed properly by trained person-
nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly
to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.
The negative power connection should be made to body
sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.
This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the
roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used
in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may
affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on
vehicles so equipped.The antenna cable should be as short as practical and
routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use
only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to
ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than
normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interfer-
ence between the communications equipment and the
vehicle’s electronic systems.

All the system functions are available within the
BLUE&ME™Main Menu. When you are travelling, you
can interact withBLUE&ME™using buttons on the
steering wheel or voice commands relevant only tophone functions(LAST CALLSandPHONEBOOK)and
the media player. To activate settings when travelling you
can only use voice commands.
The hands-free package enables the following operations:
•Contact calling by voice –you can call a contact in
your mobile phone phonebook using your voice. You
can also call a contact in your phonebook by scanning
through the entries on the multifunction display.
(To use this option you have to transfer your mobile
phone contacts to the hands-free package phonebook).
•Digit dialing by voice –you can dial a phone number
by pressing the Windows icon button (VR button) on

WARNING! (Continued)
•Volume Setting: do not raise the volume exces-
sively. Keep the volume at a level where you can
still hear outside traffic and emergency signals
while driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could cause an accident.
•Use of Speech Recognition Functions: speech rec-
ognition software is inherently a statistical process
which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility
to monitor any speech recognition functions in-
cluded in the system and address any errors.
•Distraction Hazard: many features may require
manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform
such set-up or entering data while driving can
seriously distract your attention and could cause
an accident or other serious consequences. Stop
the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
attempting these operations.

HOW TO USE BLUE&ME™ HANDS-FREE
COMMUNICATION
Steering Wheel Controls
Buttons on the steering wheel are used to perform
functions on the hands-free communication package,
activating voice recognition, using the media player
functions, or selecting aBLUE&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).
NOTE:
•For further information refer to DISPLAY AND BUT-
TONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.
•Instructions concerning manual controls are identified
in the text by the appropriate symbol.
Voice Commands
Voice commands can be said by the driver, who 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 purpose.
Voice commands, which are words recognized by the
system, are identified as “keywords”.
The hands-free communication system recognizes and
responds to a preset list of voice commands. The list of
available voice commands depends on the keyword
menu level that you are currently on. The current list is
always available by pressing the
steering wheel
button and saying“Help”or, saying“Help”when
BLUE&ME™is waiting for a voice command.
BLUE&ME™also recognizes personalized versions of
voice commands, like the name of a contact in your
phonebook.
24 BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual

There is no voice training required for using voice
commands with this system.
To issue a voice command to the system, press the
steering wheel button and wait for the radio to mute,
then listen for “Say a command” and then a tone indi-
cating that voice recognition is active. Then, speak the
command in your natural voice at a moderate pace.
When the system recognizes the command, it will ac-
knowledge your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according to three in-
creasing levels: 1st level, 2nd level and 3rd level.
When a valid* 1st level keyword is said, the system will
activate 2nd level keywords; when a valid 2nd level
keyword is said, the system will activate 3rd level
keywords.If the user says a valid 1st level keyword, then the
submenu relevant to that command will remain active
until a keyword leading to another level is given, the
interaction is interrupted or the system times out because
no command has been given; the same rule applies for
the other lower levels (2nd and 3rd level).
NOTE:For the list of available keywords, refer to
VOICE COMMANDS (KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
* Valid means that the keyword said is included in the
BLUE&ME™“dictionary” and can therefore be recog-
nized by the system for the concerned level.
To repeat the last system voice announcement, press the
steering wheel button and say“Repeat”or hold
the
steering wheel down for longer than 1 second.
The system can issue voice announcements. A voice
announcement is a spoken message initiated by the
system. To cancel a voice announcement, press the

BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 25

NOTE:
•After you press thesteering wheel button, if you
do not issue a voice command within a few seconds,
the system will prompt you to say a voice command.
If you do not respond after two or three prompts to
enter a command, the voice recognition session will
end. It is the same case with not responding to a
question during a voice interaction. You will hear a
tone indicating when voice recognition is deactivated.
•When the system fails to recognize your voice com-
mand, it will give you another opportunity to say the
voice command again. If you are unsure of whether
the voice command is appropriate for the given con-
text, say“Help”.
Using Voice Recognition
The voice recognition system may occasionally mis-
recognize a voice command. To ensure that your voice
commands are always recognized by the system, use the
following guidelines:
•After pressing thesteering wheel button, say the
voice command after the system says “Say a Com-
mand” and plays a tone indicating that voice recogni-
tion is active.
•After the system asks a question, begin saying your
command.
•If you want to say a command without waiting for the
system to finish its announcement or question, you
can press the
steering wheel button again
shortly to interrupt what the system is saying and say
your command.
•Speak at a normal volume.
