BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication
• To use the hands-free feature, you need a Bluetooth®wireless technology enabled
mobile phone. This hands-free feature gives you the possibility of interacting vocally
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.
Pair Your Mobile Phone • Press the VR steering wheel button and say “Settings” then, at the end of the BLUE&ME™ message say “Pairing”.
• The system will show the phone pairing PIN number on the EVIC display. For the next two steps, consult your mobile phone owner’s manual about Bluetooth
®pairing
procedures for your phone.
• On your mobile phone, search for devices equipped with Bluetooth
®wireless
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): select it.

• 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.
• Refer to the BLUE&ME™ User's Manual on the DVD for more details.
