BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication  
To use the hands-free feature, you need a Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled mo-  
bile 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 capabil-  
ity.You can also interact with your mobile phone manually and visually using the steering  
wheel controls and the instrument panel 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  
PressVR steering wheel button and “Settings” then, at the end of the BLUE&ME™ mes-  
sage 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 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 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  
PHONE/MENU button on the steering wheel or 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 mes-  
sage 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.
