ROAD SAFETY
WARNING
Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possi­bly cause an accident or other serious consequences; for this reason certain functions shall only be used when
driving conditions are secure and, if required, only when the vehicle is stopped.
WARNING
Read and Follow Instructions: before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this
sequences. Keep User’s Guide in the vehicle: when kept in the vehicle, the User’s Guide will be a ready reference for you and other users unfamiliar
with the system. Please make certain that before using the system for the first time, all persons have access to the User’s Guide and read its in­structions and safety information carefully.
WARNING Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and re­move your hands from the wheel.
Voice Command Control: functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while dri-
ving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands from the wheel. Prolonged Views of Screen: do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency sig­nals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.
Distraction Hazard: any features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert data while driving can seriously distract your attention and could cause an accident or other serious consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations.

How to ask for rescue
In order to ask for SOS rescue to the Service Center, press the SOS
?
button on the button panel in the front ceiling.
Note:
The request for SOS Emergency ser­vice cannot be sent by vocal control.
The system will forward the request for rescue to the operator of the Service Cen­ter after a safety time of few seconds, in order to avoid any unwanted activation.
Blue&Me™Nav will count the safety time by a vocal message and a sound alarm.
You can cancel the rescue request pro­cedure by pressing the SOS button again, within the safety time (displayed on the multi-function panel).
Once the safety time has elapsed, Blue&Me™Nav will automatically send an SMS containing the assistance request information and the GPS position of your vehicle. At the same time the system will forward a voice call (loudspeaker mode) to the Service Center.
When the information regarding the po­sition of the vehicle has been received, the Service Center operator will check the re­quirements of the service request and im­mediately send the necessary rescue team.
Suitable rescue will always be guaranteed, even if you are unable to talk to the op­erator o if you can’t place a voice call with the Service Center.
Rescue will be sent only if the SMS with the assistance request and GPS position of the vehicle has been forwarded to the Service Center.
Note:
Any active phone conversation will be automatically cut off in case the SOS Emergency service is enabled.
If the vehicle is turned off by turning the startup key to STOP position during the SOS Emergency request, it will be completed only with the sending of the SMS message.
If the vehicle is turned off by turning the startup key to STOP during a call with the Service Center operator, the call will not be cut off until completed or after 15 min. conversation.
In case no information on the vehicle position is available (e.g. a failure to re­ceive the GPS signal due to the vehicle being parked indoor) the request for service to SOS Emergency Service Center will be sent anyhow.
