Note
During the mobile phone pairing proce-
dure, Blue&Me™attempts to detect a
phone equipped with Bluetooth
®wire-
less technology within range and then es-
tablishes the connection using a Personal
Identification Number (PIN).
Once your phone is paired, you have the
option to transfer your mobile phone con-
tacts to the hands-free kit, to make a
phone call either by using the contacts list
or directly pronouncing the phone num-
ber, to answer a call and also to answer
another incoming phone call.
To interact with Blue&Me
™you can use
either buttons on the steering wheel and
voice commands. With voice recognition,
you can perform system function by
speaking voice commands, also identified
as “keywords”. When the system recog-
nizes a keyword, it will respond with the
appropriate action. Voice recognition is an
easy and convenient way to use
Blue&Me
™.All the system functions are available with-
in the Blue&Me
™Main Menu. When the
car is not moving, you can surf through the
menu using either buttons on the steering
wheel and voice commands. When you
are travelling, you can interact with
Blue&Me
™using buttons on the steer-
ing wheel or voice commands relevant on-
ly to phone functions (Last callsand
Phonebook) and media player. To acti-
vate settings when travelling you can on-
ly use voice commands.
The hands-free kit enables the following
operations:
❒Contact calling by voice- you can call
a contact in your mobile phone phone-
book using your voice. You can also call
a contact in your phonebook by scan-
ning through the entries on the multi-
function display.
(To use this option you have to transfer
your mobile phone contacts to the hands-
free kit phonebook).
❒Digit-dialling by voice- you can dial a
phone number by speaking the digits to
be dialled.
❒Receiving phone calls- you can ac-
cept an incoming call simply by pressing
a button on the steering wheel.
❒Conference Call- you can call anoth-
er contact while you are engaged in a
phone conversation (with Bluetooth
®
phones supporting this option)
❒
Call waiting- while engaged in a phone
conversation, you can receive notifica-
tion of another incoming phone call, an-
swer the other incoming phone call, and
switch between two ongoing phone con-
versations. (Call waiting is only support-
ed by a subset of compatible mobile
phones).
After you place your mobile phone in the
car environment and create a pairing rela-
tionship with Blue&Me™, you can make
phone calls by speaking keywords or press-
ing buttons on the steering wheel. When
using the hands-free phone, the audio out-
put of a phone conversation is heard
through your car sound speakers.

ROAD SAFETY
Read and Follow Instructions: before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this end
user manual (“User’s Guide”). Not following precautions found in this User’s Guide can lead to an accident or other serious conse-
quences.
Keep User’s Guide in the car: when kept in the car, 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 car 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 re-
move your hands from the wheel.
GENERAL OPERATION
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 sig-
nals 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.
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 se-
cure and, if required, only when the car is stopped.

❒Blue&Me™will ask if you would like
to copy your paired phone phonebook
to Blue&Me™. It is recommended to
copy it. To start copying the phonebook
say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
❒For certain mobile phones the phone-
book is not copied automatically, in this
case you must transfer the phonebook
contacts using your mobile phone key-
pad. If Blue&Me™asks you to do this,
then perform this procedure following
the instructions specific to your mobile
phone and press
ß/MAINwhen you
have finished. MAKING A PHONE CALL
Assume that “John” is one of the contacts
stored in your phonebook.
To call John, proceed as follows:
❒Press the steering wheel button ‘and
pronounce “Call John”.
❒If the name is recognized, the system
will display the recognized contact’s in-
formation on the display screen.
If there is just one phone number for John
in your phonebook, the system will ask if
you would like to call John. To start the
call say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
If John has several phone numbers, the
system will ask which phone number you
would like to call (e.g.: “Call John (at)
Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with
the type of required phone number (e.g.:
“(at) Home”). If John has several phone numbers but the
“location” (i.e.: the type of phone number
like work, home, etc.) is missing, the sys-
tem will display the selected contact and
a list of related phone numbers. The
hands-free phone system will ask if you
would like to call the phone number dis-
played. To respond with “yes”, pronounce
“Yes”, otherwise pronounce “No”. If this
is the correct contact but the wrong num-
ber, say “Forward” or “Backward” to
navigate to the phone number you’d like
to call. To call the displayed phone num-
ber, pronounce “Call”. You can also surf
the phone number list manually by press-
ing the buttons on the steering wheel
Nor Ountil you find the required number.
Now, press
ß/MAINor SRC/OKto
start the call.
❒To end the phone call, press ß/MAIN

?.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
stlevel, 2ndlev-
el and 3rdlevel.
When a valid* 1
stlevel keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlev-
el keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rdlevel keywords.
* Validmeans that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™“dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.

14
If the user pronounces a valid 1stlevel 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 3rdlevel).
For the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
To repeat the last system voice an-
nouncement, press
‘for longer than 1
second or press shortly
‘and pro-
nounce “Repeat”.
The system can issue voice announce-
ments. A voice announcement is a spoken
message initiated by the system. To can-
cel a voice announcement, press
&/ESC,
or press
‘and pronounce “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way commu-
nication/spoken exchange between system
and user. To initiate a voice interaction,
press
‘and issue a command. To inter-
rupt an ongoing interaction and start a
new interaction, press
‘at any time dur-
ing the interaction and issue a voice com-
mand.
To stop an ongoing interaction press
&/ESC. You will hear a tone indicating
when voice recognition is deactivated.The hands-free kit help option can speak
the list of commands available to you at
any time, depending on the keyword lev-
el that you are currently on. To use the
help system, say “HelpListen to the list
of currently available commands and de-
cide on which command you’d like to is-
sue to the system.
Adjust the volume of phone calls to a lev-
el that is comfortable and safe while the
car is in motion. To adjust the default vol-
ume of Blue&Me™, see paragraph “EX-
TERNAL AUDIO VOL function” in the
sound system owner handbook. To tem-
porarily adjust the volume of the current
phone call, press +or –or adjust the po-
sition of the radio knob. After the phone
call is disconnected, the volume will revert
back to the original level.
You can press +or –also to adjust the
volume of the current Blue&Me™voice
announcement.
Please remember that to interrupt a voice
announcement, you can always press
‘at any time during a voice interaction and
give a new voice command.
Note
❒Instructions concerning voice com-
mands are identified in the text by sym-
bol
}.Notes
❒After you press ‘, if you do not is-
sue a voice command within a few sec-
onds, the system will prompt you to
pronounce a voice command. If you do
not respond, then voice recognition
shuts off. It is the same case with not
responding to a question during a voice
interaction. You will hear a tone indi-
cating when voice recognition is deac-
tivated.
❒When the system fails to recognize
your voice command, it will give you an-
other opportunity to re-pronounce the
voice command. If you are unsure of
whether the voice command is appro-
priate for the given context, pronounce
“Help”.

15
Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system may occa-
sionally misrecognize a voice command.
To ensure that your voice commands are
always recognized by the system, use the
following guidelines:
❒After pressing ‘, pronounce the voice
command after the system plays a tone
indicating that voice recognition is ac-
tive.
❒After the system asks a question, wait
for one second before pronouncing the
response to ensure that voice recog-
nition is active.
❒If you want to pronounce a command
without waiting that the system has fin-
ished its announcement or question,
you can press again shortly
‘to in-
terrupt what the system is saying and
pronounce your command.
❒Speak at a normal volume.
❒Pronounce words clearly, in your nat-
ural voice at a moderate pace, without
stops.
❒If possible, try to minimize background
noise in the car.
❒Ask the other passengers to keep silent
while you are pronouncing voice com-
mands to prevent misunderstanding
since the system could recognize oth-
er words (in addition to or different
from your voice command) if several
people are speaking.
❒If your car has a convertible top, close
it before using voice recognition.
Notes
As concerns countries where the version
in native language is not available, voice
recognition of the different commands and
phonebook contacts could be difficult.
You are therefore recommended to adopt
a pronunciation/accent meeting the lan-
guage present on Blue&Me
™.
To change the voice recognition language

dedicated site at www.fiat.com.DISPLAY

Dialling a phone number using
voice commands
}
To dial a phone number using voice
interaction, proceed as follows:
Press
‘and pronounce “Dial”.
The system will respond with
“Number, please”.
Pronounce the phone number as a
sequence of single digits (e.g.: “0”,
“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”,
“9”, “+” (plus), “#” (pound) or “*”
(star).
For example, 0113290103 has to be
pronounced as: “zero, one, one,
three, two, nine, zero, one, zero,
three”.
The system will repeat the complete
phone number and display it.
If the number is complete, pro-
nounce “Dial”. If you have not fin-
ished speaking the phone number,
then pronounce the remaining dig-
its and then pronounce “Dial”.The system will start the call to the
displayed phone number.
To end the phone call, press
ß/MAINfor longer than 1 second.
You can pronounce the sequence of
phone number digits in “digit
groups” which allows you to verify
the recognized number in several
small portions. Digit groups are cre-
ated by the pauses you use while
pronouncing the sequence of digits.
If you pause after pronouncing sev-
eral digits, a digit group is created.
The system will repeat the recog-
nized digits.
If the spoken digits are correct, you
can continue pronouncing the
phone number. If the spoken digits
are incorrect, you can delete the
digit group by pronouncing
“Delete”. The system will delete
the last group of numbers and dis-
play the partially-dialled phone num-
ber. Then, you can re-pronounce
the digit group and also the re-
maining phone number digits.
To cancel the phone call, pronounce
“Cancel”.
To cancel the phone call and start
dialling again, pronounce “Start
over”.To ask the system to repeat the
recognized phone number, pro-
nounce “Repeat”. If no phone
number was dialled, the system says
“No number available”.
If the repeated phone number is
correct, pronounce “Dial” to start
the call.
Note
When dialling a phone number by voice
commands, it is essential to minimize
background noise in the car and to ask the
other passengers to keep silent while you
are speaking digits. Since the system is of
the speaker independent type it can rec-
ognize also other voices; there is there-
fore the risk that some numbers are ac-
cidentally recognized, added to correct
numbers or not recognized.
