HOW TO USE
Blue&Me™
CONTROLS STEERING WHEEL
Buttons on the steering wheel (see fig. 1)
are used to perform functions on the
hands-free kit, activating voice recognition,
using the media player functions or select-
ing a Blue&Me™ menu option.
Certain buttons have multiple functions
which depend on the current state of the
system.
The function chosen in response to a key
press is in some cases controlled by the
duration of the key press (short or long).
For further information read chapter
DISPLAY AND BUTTONS ON THE
STEERING WHEEL.

VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be pronounced by
the driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is
properly located and oriented to this pur-
pose.
Voice commands, which are words rec-
ognized by the system, are identified as
“keywords”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes
and responds to a preset list of voice com-
mands. The list of available voice com-
mands depends on the keyword level that
you are currently on. The current list is al-
ways available by pressing
‘
and pro-
nouncing “Help” or, pronouncing “Help”
after whichever question of the system.
Blue&Me™ also recognizes personalized
versions of voice commands like the name
of a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training required for us-
ing voice commands with this system.
To issue a voice command to the system,
press
‘
and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then,
speak the command in your natural voice
at a moderate pace. When the system rec-
ognizes the command, it will acknowledge
your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
st
level, 2
nd
lev-
el and 3
rd
level.
When a valid* 1
st
level keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2
nd
lev-
el keywords; when a valid 2
nd
level key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rd
level keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
st
level key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a key-
word leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
nd
and 3
rd
level).
For the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
* Valid means that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™ “dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.
