Installing the Dash Dock
Use the Dash Dock to install your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device inside the car.
To attach the Dash Dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the car dash-
board.
To insert your navigation device into the dock, push the button on the front of the dock to
open the top bracket. Place the bottom of the device into the dock and then push the top
bracket of the dock down until it clicks into place. Rotate your device to a position that suits
you best.
To remove the navigation device, press the button on the front of the dock and lift the navigation device out.
To release the dock from the dashboard, push the lower button on each side of the shaft
and pull out the dock.
Switching on and off
To switch on your navigation device manually, press and hold the On/Off button until you
see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your navigation device, it may take a
short time to start.
With the latest version of the application for your Blue&Me-TomTom, your navigation
device starts automatically as soon as it is powered by the dock. You can update the application using TomTom HOME.
To set up your navigation device you need to answer a few questions by tapping the
screen. You then need to connect your navigation device to Blue&Me in your car.
Note: Your dealer may have connected your navigation device to Blue&Me for you. If this
is the case, you can already start using your device.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device may not start correctly or may
stop responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is properly charged. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge
the battery.
If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press and hold the
On/Off button for 15 seconds and release the button when your device begins to restart.
GPS reception
When you first start your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device, the device may need a few
minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In
future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.
3
To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such
as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Take care of your device
Never leave your Blue&Me-TomTom navigation device or access ories on vi ew when you
leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password which must be entered every time you start your device.
It is important to take care of your device.
• Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such exposure
may cause permanent damage.
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
Safety preferences
We recommend using the safety preferences to make your driving as safe as
possible. The safety preferences include, for example, the following options:
• Hide most menu options when driving
• Show safety reminders
• Warn when driving faster than allowed
You can also drive more safely by using voice commands to control your Blue&MeTomTom.

shown in one screen. The type of information shown depends on your car.
Note: For further information about using trip information, see the guide that was supplied with your car.
Driving style information
Driving style information helps you drive in a way that limits the environmental impact.
It can improve the efficiency of your driving by analysing your driving style. It helps you
to use less fuel, reduce CO2 emissions and save money.
On the left of the screen, the indicator suggests you when you should change gear by
repeating the information shown in the gear shift indicator on the cluster display. On the
right, the ecological impact of your driving is shown.
To view this information, do the following:

2. Tap eco:Drive info or Fuel efficiency info, depending on your car.
The screen is shown until you tap Done.
Information about your driving style is not available for all types of car engine. If you are
using LPG fuel, the fuel efficiency information is only shown to provide an estimation of
your driving style. If you are using CNG fuel, monitoring fuel consumption is not always
reliable and is therefore not shown.

planning a route in the normal way.
To select a new destination, tap Start-up preferences in the Preferences menu then select
Ask for a destination. You are asked if you want to select a new destination and you then
need to answer a few questions about the location.

You are asked if you want to change the start-up image.
7. If you want to change the image, follow the instructions shown on the screen. Otherwise, tap No.
Every time your Blue&Me-TomTom starts, you are asked if you want to plan a route. If you
tap Cancel, you are shown the Main Menu.
Using arrival times
When you plan a route, your Blue&Me-TomTom asks you if you need to arrive at a particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your Blue&Me-TomTom calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will
arrive on time.
You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your Blue&Me-
TomTom shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30 minutes
time, rather than arrive early.
Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your journey. The status bar shows
whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown below:
You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before the time
you entered, it is shown in green.
23
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the time
you entered, it is shown in yellow.
You will arrive 19 minutes late.
If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered, it is
shown in red.
Tap Status bar preferences in the Preferences menu, to enable or

Planning a route in advance
You can use your Blue&Me-TomTom to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting
point and your destination.
Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:
• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
You can also compare journey times for the same route at diffe rent times of the day or
on different days of the week. Your Blue&Me-TomTom uses IQ Routes when planning
a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real average speeds measured on
roads.
• Study the route of a journey you are planning.
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to
them in detail.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare route.
Prepare route
3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would select your
destination.
4. Set the destination for your journey.
5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.
• Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
• Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.
• Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not
be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
• Avoid motorways - a route which avoids motorways.
• Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.
• Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited speed. You
have to specify the maximum speed.
6. Choose when you will make the journey you are planning. There are three options:
• Now
• Specific date and time - you will be asked to enter the date and time.
• No specific date and time
If you select either Now or Specific date and time, your Blue&Me-TomTom uses IQ
Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using the real average speeds
measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a journey takes at different
times of day, or on different days of the week.
7. Your Blue&Me-TomTom plans the route between the two locations you selected.
