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 Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(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
•Push the VR button on the steering wheel then “Settings.” At the end of the
BLUE&ME™ message say “Pairing.” You may also access the pairing feature via the
menu by selecting it.
•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 proce-
dures for your phone.
•On your mobile phone, search for devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technol-
ogy (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 instru-
ment 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.Pushing
PHONE/MENU button on the steering wheel or MUTE/ESC button before the mes-
sage 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 push the PHONE/MENU button on the steering wheel when you have
finished.Certain mobile phones may require you to indicate that you do not want to be
asked every time to copy the phonebook.If this is the case, this could be indicated by
checking a box on the phone during the pairing process.If applicable, this option will only
be presented on the phone during the pairing process.
Making A Phone Call
•Assume that “John Smith” is one of the contacts stored in your phonebook.To call
John Smith, proceed as follows:
1.Push the VR steering wheel button and pronounce “Call John Smith.” If the name is
recognized, the system will display the recognized contact’s information on the display
screen.
2.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”).
3.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 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 re-
spond with “Yes,” pronounce “Yes,” otherwise say “No.” If this is the correct contact
but the wrong number, say “Forward” or “Backward” to navigate to the phone num-
ber you’d like to call.To call the displayed phone number, pronounce “Call.” You can
also scroll through the phone number list manually by pushing the buttons on the
back of the steering wheel until you find the required number.Then, push PRESET
UP/OK button on the rear of the steering wheel to start the call.
4.To end the phone call, push the PHONE HANG UP button on the steering wheel.

3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
4.Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
•If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle, you should have the battery
and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
•Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from
the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
•Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alter-
nator or electrical system may occur.
•Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system
of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
•Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen.It could rupture or explode
and cause personal injury.
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised.It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on.You can be injured by moving fan blades.
•Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact.You could be seriously injured.
•Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydro-
gen gas which is flammable and explosive.Keep open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
•Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground con-
nection and personal injury could result.
•Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
•Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)
of the discharged battery.The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in personal injury.
