with your mobile phone while driving, even if your mobile device does not feature this
capability. You can also interact with your mobile phone manually and visually using
the steering wheel controls and the instrument panel EVIC display.
• To get started with BLUE&ME™ hands-free feature with voice recognition, you have to simply pair your Bluetooth
®wireless technology enabled mobile phone with the
system.

• When prompted by the mobile phone, enter the PIN number shown on theinstrument panel display using your mobile phone keypad. If pairing is successful,
the system will say “Connecting” and at the end the display will show as
confirmation message, the ID of the paired mobile phone.
• It is essential to wait until you see this confirmation message on the display. Pressing the PHONE/MAIN button on the steering wheel or the MUTE/ESC button before the
message is displayed may cancel the pairing process. If the pairing process fails, an
error message will be displayed: in this event repeat the pairing procedure.
• At first pairing, BLUE&ME™ will say “Welcome” immediately after connecting. This message will no longer be heard when your phone automatically connects to the
BLUE&ME™ system on future ignition cycles.
• 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 phonebook is not copied automatically, in this case you must transfer the phonebook contacts using your mobile phone keypad. If
BLUE&ME™ asks you to do this, then perform this procedure following the
instructions specific to your mobile phone and press the PHONE/MAIN button on
the steering wheel when you have finished.
Making a Phone Call • Assume that “John Smith” is one of the contacts stored in your phonebook.
• To call John Smith, proceed as follows:
• Press the steering wheel button PHONE/MAIN and pronounce “Call John Smith”.
• If the name is recognized, the system will display the recognized contact’s information on the display screen.
• If there is just one phone number for John Smith in your phonebook, the system will ask if you would like to call John Smith. To start the call say “Yes”, otherwise say
“No”.
• If John Smith has several phone numbers, the system will ask which phone number you would like to call (e.g.: “Call John Smith (at) Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with
the type of required phone number (e.g.: “(at) Home”).
• If John Smith has several phone numbers but the “location” (i.e.: the type of phone number like work, home, etc.) is missing, the system will display the selected
contact and a list of related phone numbers on the instrument cluster display. The
hands-free phone system will ask if you would like to call the phone number
displayed. To respond with “yes”, say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”. If this is the correct
contact but the wrong number, say “Forward” or “Backward” to navigate to the
phone number you’d like to call. To call the displayed phone number, pronounce
“Call”. You can also scroll through the phone number list manually by pressing the
buttons on the back of the steering wheel until you find the required number. Then,
press the PRESET UP/OK button on the rear of the steering wheel to start the call.
• To end the phone call, press the PHONE HANG UP button on the steering wheel.

• Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
NOTE: If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters,
etc.), the key must be in the ON/RUN position. Make certain the transmission remains in
NEUTRAL.
Without The Ignition Key
• Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the OFF/LOCK position. A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear wheels
are raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmissiondamage. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position.
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing. When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension
components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
• In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if the communication networkremains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event
the ORC will determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
• After the event occurs, when the system is active, the message "Fuel Cutoff See Handbook" is displayed.
• Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system and
starting the engine.
NOTE: In order to start the engine and move the vehicle to a safe location after an
impact, the System Reset Procedure must be completed.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by arocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then shift back and forth between 1st gear and REVERSE. Using
minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning
the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and failure. Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL
for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize
overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between 1st and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
