COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Engine Block
Heater)
Engine Block Heater
• To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this vehiclewill inhibit engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than –22° F (–30°
C) and the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block heater has not
been used. An externally-powered electric engine block heater is available as
optional equipment or from your authorized dealer.
• The message "plug in engine heater" will be displayed in the instrument cluster when the ambient temperature is below 5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is shut off as a
reminder to avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
CAUTION!
• Use of the recommended SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil and adhering to theprescribed oil change intervals is important to prevent engine damage and
ensure satisfactory starting in cold conditions.
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.
• To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening
in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious
personal injury.

• 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.
