With this system you can also play your
favourite music stored on USB device and
select tracks and playback modes with
both voice commands or buttons on the
steering wheel.
THE HANDS-FREE KIT
The basic characteristic of this hands-free
kit is voice recognition with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology. With this system you
can make and receive calls safely and se-
curely using either voice commands or
buttons on the steering wheel under what-
ever driving condition without having to
take your eyes off the road or removing
your hands from the steering wheel, as re-
quired by current law regulations.
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your car. To use the hands-free kit, you need a
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enabled
mobile phone. This hands-free kit gives
you the possibility of interacting vocally
with your mobile phone while driving,
even if your mobile device does not fea-
ture this capability. You can also interact
with your mobile phone manually and vi-
sually using the steering wheel controls
and the instrument panel multifunction dis-
play.
For further details on the mobile phones
supported by Blue&Me™, refer to sec-
tion Blue&Me™SUPPORTED MOBILE
PHONES.
To get started with Blue&Me™hands-
free kit with voice recognition, you have
to simply pair your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology enabled mobile phone with the
system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made
only once.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology
and media player
OVERVIEW
Windows Mobile™-based Fiat
Blue&Me™is a personal telematic sys-
tem enabling to use communication and
entertainment applications expressly de-
signed for use in the car.
The Blue&Me™system installed on your
car is equipped with hands-free kit and
media player, and it is preset for future in-
stallation of additional services.
The Blue&Me™system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of in-
teracting with your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology mobile phone (even if you
keep it in your pocket or bag) without hav-
ing to take your eyes off the road or re-
moving your hands from the steering
wheel. To use voice commands you are
not required to train the voice recognition
system to recognize your voice. This im-
plies that the system is nearly equally per-
forming with different persons, i.e.: the
voice recognition system is of the “speak-
er independent” type.

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.

❒You can then pronounce one of the
available commands and proceed with
the dialogue as you like.
❒If you need further help, press ‘and
pronounce again “Help”.PAIR YOUR MOBILE PHONE
IMPORTANT Carry out this operation
only with the car stopped.
To pair your mobile phone, proceed as
follows:
❒Press ‘and pronounce “Settings”
then, at the end of the Blue&Me™
message say “Pairing”.
❒The system will show the phone pair-
ing PIN number on the multifunction
display. For the next two steps, consult
your mobile phone owner’s manual
about Bluetooth
®pairing.
❒On your mobile phone, query for de-
vices equipped with Bluetooth®wire-
less technology (the setting on your
mobile phone might be called Discover
or New Device). In this list you will find
“Blue&Me” or “My Car” (name iden-
tifying the Blue&Me
™system on your
car): select it.
❒When prompted by the mobile phone,
enter the PIN number shown on the in-
strument panel display using your mo-
bile phone keypad. If pairing is success-
ful, the system will say “Connecting”
and at the end the display will show as
confirmation message, the ID of the
paired mobile phone.
It is essential to wait until you see this con-
firmation message on the display. Pressing
ß/MAINor &/ESCbefore the message
is displayed may cancel the pairing process.
If the pairing process fails, an error mes-
sage will be displayed: in this event repeat
the pairing procedure.
❒At first pairing, Blue&Me™will say
“Welcome” immediately after connect-
ing. This message will no longer be heard
at next pairing procedures.
11
❒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
for longer than 1 second.
If you encounter difficulties with any of
the voice recognition operations, consult

BLESHOOTING.

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 select-
ing a Blue&Me™menu option.
Certain buttons have multiple functions
which depend on the current state of the
system.
The function chosen in response to a key
press is in some cases controlled by the

?.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.
