Thanks to its complete integration with the voice commands, the controls on the steering wheel and the information in the on board multifunction display information, the Blue&Me system allows Customers who have a mobile phone with Bluetooth to use it even if it is in their jacket pocket or handbag without ever having to take their hands off the steering wheel.In order to use the voice commands the voice recognition system does not require any preparation process. The system is capable of recognizing voice commands given, irrespective of gender, by the tone of voice and intonation of the person giving the instructions and no training or pre-recording is required.It is also possible to listen to music stored on a USB device, selecting the tracks and play modes using either the controls on the steering wheel or voice commands.Only on dot-matrix panels and in the presence of the Blue&Me or Blue&Me NAV option does the display only show the Blue&Me logo for 2 secs at the key on as illustrated in the example below.Later on, the check stage continues normally with the activation of the remaining information described above and the display of the logo ends.Components and their location
