Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system, sometimes,
can make a mistake when recognising
a voice command. To make sure you that
your voice commands are always recog-
nised, use the following guidelines:
❒After having pressed ‘, give the voice
command after the system has provid-
ed the audible signal indicating that
voice recognition is on.
❒After the system has asked you a ques-
tion, wait a second before giving the an-
swer, in order to be sure that voice
recognition is on.
❒If you want to give a command without
waiting for the system to finish its mes-
sage or question, you can briefly press
the
‘button again to interrupt the sys-
tem and give your command.
❒Speak at a normal volume.
❒Say the words clearly: not too quickly,
but without hesitation.
❒If possible, try to reduce noise inside the
passenger compartment to a minimum.
❒Before giving voice commands, ask your
passengers not to speak. Since the sys-
tem recognises the words regardless of
who speaks, if several people speak at
the same time, the system may pick up
different or additional words to those
that you have said.
❒For optimum operation it is advisable
to close the sunroof if your vehicle has
one. N.B.
For countries where a mother-tongue
version is not available, voice recognition
of the commands and especially the
phonebook contacts could be difficult. We
advise adopting pronunciation that con-
forms to the language in Blue&Me™.
To change the voice recognition language,
contact a Fiat Dealership or see the dedi-
cated section on www.fiat.it.

Call a number using voice
commands
}
To dial a phone number using voice
interaction, proceed as follows:
Press
‘and say “Callnumber”.
The system will respond with “The
number, please”.
Say the phone number as a se-
quence of individual numbers (for
example, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”,
“6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “+” (plus), “#”
(hash) or “*” (star).
For example, 0113 290103 is pro-
nounced “zero, one, one, three, two,
nine, zero, one, zero, three”.
The system will display and vocally
repeat the number.
If the number is correct, say
“Call”. If the number is not cor-
rect, say the missing digits and at
the end say “Call”.The system will call the number dis-
played.
To end the call, press
ß/MENUfor
more than one second.
You can say the phone number in
“groups of digits”; this will allow you
to check the correctness of one
group of digits at a time. The groups
of digits are created from the paus-
es that you make while saying the
number. If you pause after saying
a certain number of digits, a group
is created. The system will repeat
the numbers as it heard them.
If the digits are said correctly, you
can continue to dictate the phone
number. If they are incorrect, you
can delete the group of digits by say-
ing “Cancel”. The system will can-
cel the last group of digits and will
display the partially dialled phone
number. You can then say the
phone number's remaining digits.
To stop dialling the phone number,
say “Cancel”.To cancel the whole number
shown and re-dial from scratch, say
“Restart”.
To ask the system to say back the
number, say “Repeat”. If no phone
number is dialled, the system says
“No number available”.
If the phone number repeated is
correct, say “Call” to make the call.
N.B.
When dialling a number by voice com-
mands, it is important that the noise inside
the passenger compartment is reduced as
much as possible and that your passengers
do not speak while you dictate the num-
ber to the system. The voice recognition
works regardless of who is speaking. Be-
cause of this, if several people talk during
this operation, there is a risk that some
numbers will be recognised accidentally,
while others will be recognised correctly
or not recognised at all.
