• If John Smith has several phone numbers but the “location” (e.g.: the type of
phone number like work, home, etc.) is missing, the system will display the se-
lected contact and a list of related phone numbers on the instrument cluster dis-
play. 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 navi-
gate 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.
Media Player
• With the BLUE&ME™ media player you can play, via the car sound system, the
digital audio files stored on a USB device by simply connecting it to the USB port
located in the glove compartment of the car.
• The MEDIA PLAYER menu enables the following:
– Display tracks stored on your USB stick/iPod®.
– Play audio files stored on your USB stick/iPod® (BLUE&ME™ recognizes .wma,
.mp3 and .wav, .aac formats for audio files and .wpl and .m3u for playlists).
How To Connect The USB Stick/iPod® To BLUE&ME™
• To connect your USB stick/iPod® to BLUE&ME™, proceed as follows:
• USB devices without USB wire: just connect the USB stick/iPod® (directly or
by an extension lead) to the USB port on the car.
• USB stick/iPod® with USB wire: use the wire to connect the USB stick/iPod®
to the USB port on the car.
• Turn the ignition key to ON. BLUE&ME™ will start automatically to play your
digital tracks selecting them from the library built at the moment the USB
stick/iPod® is connected.
• If AUTOPLAY is set to “ON,” BLUE&ME™ will start playback automatically.
• Refer to the iPod®/USB/MP3 CONTROL section in this manual and the
BLUE&ME™ User's Manual on the DVD for more details.
WARNING!
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury. It
is strongly recommended that you use extreme caution when using any device or
feature that may take your focus off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle.
