•Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
•Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather
than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems.This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
•Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage
system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child
restraint anchorage systems are installed in both rear seating positions.
• NEVER install compatible child seats so that two seats share a common lower anchorage.

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 the instrument 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.

• 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”).
