The unstable positions, in other words
those that are abandoned as soon
as the lever is released, are the
positions for requesting a higher gear
(+), requesting a lower gear (–) and
requesting automatic operating mode
(A/M).
IMPORTANT With the engine started,
any error between the lever position
and the gear actually engaged is
signalled by a buzzer until consistency
is restored.

❒press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
❒if AUTO appears on the display,
move the lever A fig. 80 to A/M

With the ECO function active, the
system will select the most suitable
gear depending on the vehicle speed,
engine rpm and intensity with which the
accelerator pedal is pressed, with the
aim of limiting fuel consumption.
“Kick Down” FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking),
the system downshifts one or more
gears when the accelerator pedal
is depressed beyond the point where it
becomes stiff (and if the rpm allow it)
in order to provide suitable power and
torque for the acceleration requested
by the driver.
IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick
Down” function is recommended only
when overtaking or accelerating quickly,
in order not to increase fuel
consumption.
WARNING
43)Avoid keeping your hand on this lever
except during gear change or AUTO/
MANUAL mode requests.
It is important to wait for this
confirmation message; if you press the
right
/wheel before it appears,
you risk cancelling the pairing process.
If the registration fails, an error message
will appear; in this case, you will need
to repeat the procedure.
❒After pairing your mobile phone, the
first time you connect,Blue&Me™
will say "Welcome". This message will
no longer be heard at subsequent
pairing or connecting procedures.
❒Blue&Me™asks you if you want to
copy the phonebook of the mobile
phone just paired onto theBlue&Me™
system. You are advised to copy it. To
proceed with copying, say "Ye s"; if you
do not want to copy the phonebook,
say "No".
❒On some mobile phones, the names
in the phonebook are not copied
automatically, but have to be
transferred by using the mobile phone
keypad. IfBlue&Me™asks you, carry
out this procedure by following the
specific instructions on your mobile
phone and press the rightSRC/OK
wheel when you have finished.Making a phone call
Imagine that "John" is one of the
names saved in your phonebook.
To call John, proceed as follows:
❒Press the
control on the steering
wheel and say "Call John".
❒If the system recognises the name
John, the relevant information will
be shown on the display.
If your phonebook has only one number
stored for John, the system will ask
you directly if you want to call him. To
make the call, say "Ye s"; otherwise, say
"No".
If, on the other hand, there are several
phone numbers for John, the system
will ask which one you wish to call
(for example, "Call John work
or home?"). Respond by indicating
which number you want to call (for
example, "Home").If John has several phone numbers but
the type of phone number is missing,
the system will display the selected
contact and a list of related phone
numbers. The hands-free system will
ask if you would like to call the phone
number displayed. If the number
displayed is the one you wish to call,
say "Ye s"; otherwise, say “No". If
the person to contact is the correct
one, but the number is wrong, say
"Forward"or"Back" to see the other
phone numbers for this person.
To call the number displayed, say
"Call". You can also navigate through
this list manually by turning the right
/wheel until you find the desired
number. At this point, press
to make
the call.
❒To end the call, press

189)IMPORTANT: looking at the system
when driving can divert attention from
the road, with the risk of accidents or other
serious consequences. Do not change
system settings or enter data non-verbally
(using the manual controls) while driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before carrying out these operations. This
is important since while setting up or
changing some functions your attention
may be distracted from the road and you
may have to remove your hands from
the wheel.
190)Voice commands: the system
functions can be carried out using only
voice commands. The use of voice control
commands when driving allows the system
to be managed without taking your hands
off the steering wheel.
191)Looking at the display for a long time:
while driving, do not use any function that
requires looking at the display for a long
time. Pull over in a safe and legal manner
before attempting to access a function
of the system that requires prolonged
attention. Even occasional short glances at
the display may be hazardous if your
attention is diverted from driving at a critical
moment.
192)Setting the volume: do not turn the
volume up too high. Keep the volume at a
level where you can still hear outside traffic
and emergency signals while driving.
Driving without being able to hear these
sounds can cause accidents.193)Using the voice recognition: the voice
recognition software is based on a
statistical process that is subject to error. It
is your responsibility to monitor the
system's voice recognition functions and to
correct any errors.
194)Danger of distraction: the functions
may require manual settings (not using
voice commands). Performing these
settings or entering data when driving can
distract you significantly, causing accidents
or having other serious consequences.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before attempting these operations.
