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,
message reader and media player
OVERVIEW
Windows Mobile™-based Fiat Blue&Me™
is a personal telematic system enabling to
use communication and entertainment ap-
plications expressly designed for use in the
car.
The Blue&Me™system installed on your
car is equipped with hands-free kit, mes-
sage reader and media player, and it is pre-
set for future installation of additional ser-
vices.
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.

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.MESSAGE READER
The Blue&Me™message reader enables
automatic reading, through the car sound
system, of the SMS texts you receive on
your Bluetooth
®wireless technology
mobile phone. The message reader will al-
so interpret any abbreviation and emoti-
con contained in the SMS text.
Message reader functions are managed by
the control buttons on the steering wheel
or by the Blue&Me™voice commands.
The Blue&Me™message reader enables
the following operations:
❒ To display on the instrument panel
multifunction display a visual notifi-
cation signal indicating that you have
received a new SMS text on your
Bluetooth
®wireless technology
mobile phone, with sender’s num-
ber/name;
Blue&Me™will also pro-
pose you to read the message received
❒ To manage the list of SMS texts re-
ceived on your Blue&Me™ paired
mobile phone
❒ To read again the messages received
and stored
❒ To call the SMS text sender using the
buttons on the steering wheel or voice
commands
❒ To delete individual messages or the
entire inbox using the buttons on the
steering wheel or voice commands.
The Blue&Me™system can also recog-
nize and read abbreviations, if any (e.g.
“ILUVU” will be read like “I love you”) and
interpret the most usual emoticons (e.g.
:-) will be read like “Smile”), adopted
nowadays to write SMS texts.

To improve both the voice recognition of
your phonebook entries and Blue&Me™
pronunciation accuracy when repeating
the entries, please try to enter contact en-
tries and memorize them using the fol-
lowing criteria:
❒Avoid abbreviations.
❒Write foreign names according to the
way in which they are pronounced ac-
cording to the rules of the
Blue&Me™language set on your car.
For example, enter “Tanja” as “Tanya”,
to improve recognition accuracy and al-
so to obtain the correct pronunciation
by the system.
❒When adding or editing contact entries,
insert the appropriate accent marks
when the name requires these marks
to be properly pronounced and recog-
nized by the system. For example en-
ter “Nicolo Rebora” as “Nicolò Rébo-
ra” to obtain the correct pronunciation.
❒When adding or editing contact entries,
bear in mind that certain isolated block
letter may be read as Roman numer-
als (e.g.: V may be read as fifth).
❒When calling contacts by voice, do not
include the middle names or middle ini-
tials of your contacts.
