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”. 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
contact Fiat Dealership or consult the ded-
icated site at www.fiat.com.

When prompted by the mobile
phone, enter the PIN number
shown on the instrument panel dis-
play using your mobile phone key-
pad. If pairing is successful, the sys-
tem will say “Connecting” and
then the display will show the paired
mobile phone ID.
It is of vital importance to wait un-
til this confirmation message is dis-
played since pressing
ß/MAINor
&/ESCat this time may cancel the
pairing process. If pairing fails, an er-
ror message will be displayed and
the pairing procedure shall be re-
peated.
At first pairing, the system will say
“Welcome” immediately after
connecting. This message will no
longer be heard at next pairing pro-
cedures.The system asks if you would like to
copy your paired phone phone-
book. It is recommended to copy it.
To start copying the phonebook,
pronounce “Yes”; otherwise say
“No”.
For certain mobile phones the
phonebook is not copied automat-
ically, in this case you must send the
contacts in your mobile phone
phonebook to the hands-free phone
system using your mobile phone
keypad. If the hands-free phone sys-
tem asks you to do this, then per-
form this procedure following the
instructions specific to your mobile
phone and press
ß/MAINwhen
you have finished.Practical hints
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.
