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 selecting a
Blue&Me™ menu option.
Certain buttons have multiple functions
which depend on the current state of the sys-
tem.
The function chosen in response to a key
press is in some cases controlled by the du-
ration of the key press (short or long).
For further information read chapter DIS-
PLAY AND BUTTONS ON THE STEERING
WHEEL.
Note
Instructions concerning manual controls are
identified in the text by symbol
* 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.

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 prop-
erly located and oriented to this purpose.
Voice commands, which are words recog-
nized by the system, are identified as "key-
words".
The hands-free phone system recognizes and
responds to a preset list of voice commands.
The list of available voice commands depends
on the keyword level that you are currently
on. The current list is always available by
ô
pressing and pronouncing "Help" or, pro-
nouncing "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,
ô
press and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then, speak
the command in your natural voice at a mod-
erate pace. When the system recognizes the
command, it will acknowledge your com-
mand by speaking a response or acting on
your command.
Voice commands are organized according to
three increasing levels: 1 level, 2
st
3 level.
rd
When a valid * 1 level keyword is pro-
st
nounced, the system will activate 2
keywords; when a valid 2 level keyword
nd
is pronounced, the system will activate 3
level keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a keyword
leading to another level is given or the in-
teraction is interrupted; the same rule ap-
plies for the other lower levels (2
level).
For the list of available keywords, refer
