Thanks to its complete integration with
the voice commands, the steering wheel
controls, the sound system controls and
the information on the on-board multi-
function display, the Blue&Me™system
allows customers who have a mobile
phone with Bluetooth
®to use it even if
it is in their jacket pocket or handbag with-
out ever having to take their hands off the
steering wheel. To use the voice com-
mands, the voice recognition system does
not need time to learn your voice. The
system is capable of recognising the voice
commands given, irrespective of gender,
by the tone of voice and intonation of the
person giving the instructions.
It is also possible to listen to your favourite
music saved on a USB device by selecting
the tracks and playback method with ei-
ther the steering wheel buttons or voice
commands.HANDS-FREE
The main feature of this function is hands-
free telephone communication with voice
recognition and Bluetooth
®technology.
This system allows you to make and receive
phone calls using voice commands or man-
ual controls on the steering wheel in com-
plete safety, freedom and comfort while
driving, in full compliance with the law.
Bluetooth
®technology allows you to use
your mobile phone through the vehicle's
hands-free system, without the need for
wires.
Hands-free system with Bluetooth®technology,
SMS message reader and Media Player

To use the hands-free function, you need
a mobile phone with Bluetooth®. This
function also offers you the possibility of
speaking on your phone while driving,
even if the phone does not have this fea-
ture. You can interact with your mobile
phone manually and visually by using the
manual controls on the steering wheel and
the multifunction display on the control
panel.
For further information on mobile phone
compatibility with Blue&Me™, see the
TECHNOLOGY COMPATIBLE WITH
BLUE&ME™section.
To start using the Blue&Me™hands-free
function with voice recognition, just reg-
ister your mobile phone with Bluetooth
®
technology on the system.
You only need to register your mobile
phone on the system once.N.B.
When you register a new mobile phone,
Blue&Me™will search its operating
range for a mobile phone with Blue-
tooth
®. When it finds one, it establishes
a connection by using a Personal Identifi-
cation Number (PIN).
Once the mobile phone has been regis-
tered, you can transfer your contacts over
to the system, make a phone call by us-
ing the phonebook or by saying the tele-
phone number, accept a call and answer
a second incoming call.You can use either the steering wheel con-
trols or voice recognition to interact with
Blue&Me™. With voice recognition, you
can activate the system's functions by giv-
ing specific voice commands that are
recognised by the system. When the sys-
tem recognises a voice command, it will
respond with the appropriate action.
Voice recognition is an easy, practical way
of using Blue&Me™.
All the system functions are accessible via
the Blue&Me™Main Menu. When the
car is stationary, you can navigate the
menu by using either the steering wheel
controls or voice commands. When the
vehicle is moving, you can only interact
with Blue&Me™by using the steering
wheel controls or the voice commands for
the phone (LAST CALL andCON-
TACTS) and Media Player functions. To
activate the settings functions whilst dri-
ving, only voice commands are available.

ROAD SAFETY
Read and follow these instructions: before using your system, read and follow all the safety information and instructions in this
manual (“User Guide”). Failure to observe the precautions contained in the User Guide may cause accidents or have other serious
consequences.
Keep the manual in the car: if it is kept in the car, the User Guide will become something quick and easy to consult for those not familiar
with the system. Make sure that, before using the system, anyone who has access to the User Guide reads the instructions and the safety infor-
mation carefully.
IMPORTANT: Looking at the system when driving can divert attention from the road, risking accidents or other serious conse-
quences. When driving, do not change the system settings or enter data by using the manual controls. Before carrying out these
operations, stop the car safely in accordance with the highway code. Adopting these precautions is important since setting or
changing some functions may require drivers to take their eyes off the road and remove their hands from the steering wheel.
GENERAL OPERATION
Voice commands: the system functions can be carried out using only voice commands. The use of voice commands when driving allows you
to manage the system without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
Looking at the display for a long time: while driving, do not use any function that requires looking at the display for a long time. Stop the
car safely in accordance with the highway code before consulting any of the system functions that require such attention. Even occasional quick
glances at the display can be dangerous if the driver's attention is diverted at a critical moment.
Setting the volume: do not turn the volume up too high. When driving, keep the volume at a level that allows you to hear the traffic outside
and emergency sirens. Driving without being able to hear these sounds may cause accidents.
Using the voice recognition: the voice recognition software is based on a statistical process that is subject to error. It is your responsibility
to monitor the system's voice recognition functions and to correct any errors.
Danger of distraction: the functions may require manual settings (not using voice commands). Performing these settings or entering data when
driving can distract you significantly, causing accidents or having other serious consequences. Before carrying out these operations, stop the car
safely in accordance with the highway code.
IMPORTANT
Using some of the system functions whilst driving can distract attention away from the road, risking an accident or other se-
rious consequences; they should therefore be used only when driving conditions allow and, if necessary, only with the vehi-
cle stationary.

❒Blue&Me™asks you if you want to copy
across the contacts of the mobile phone
just registered on the Blue&Me™sys-
tem. Copying the phonebook is recom-
mended. To proceed with copying, say
“Yes”; if you do not want to copy the
phonebook, say “No”.
❒On some mobile phones, the names in
the directory are not copied automati-
cally, but have to be transferred by the
user using the mobile phone keypad. If
Blue&Me™asks you, carry out this
procedure by following the specific in-
structions on your mobile phone and
press
ß/MENUwhen you have finished. MAKING A CALL
Imagine that Mark is one of the names
saved in your phonebook.
To call Mark, proceed as follows:
❒Press the steering wheel control ‘and say “Call Mark”.
❒If the system recognises the name Mark,
it will show the information relating to
this name on the display.
If your phonebook has only one number
stored for Mark, the system will ask you
directly if you want to call him. To make
the call, say “Yes”; otherwise, say “No”.
If, on the other hand, there are several
phone numbers for Mark, the system will
ask which one you wish to call (for ex-
ample, “Call Mark work or home?”).
Respond by indicating which number you
want to call (for example, “Home”). If you have several telephone numbers for
Mark, but there is no indication of the type
of number, the system will show the name
together with the list of telephone num-
bers on the display. The hands-free sys-
tem will ask you if you want to call the
telephone number displayed. If the num-
ber displayed is the one you wish to call,
say “Yes”; otherwise, say “No”. If the
person to contact is the correct one, but
the number is wrong, say “Forward” or
“Back” to see the other phone numbers
for this person. To call the number dis-
played, say “Call”. You can also navigate
through this list manually by pressing the
steering wheel controls
Nor Ountil you
find the desired number. When you do,
press
ß/MENUor SRC/OKto make
the call.
❒To end the call, press ß/MENUfor
more than one second.
If you have difficulty using the vehicle's
hands-free system, consult the TROU-
BLESHOOTING – HANDS-FREE section.

VOICE COMMANDS
You do not need to alter your normal dri-
ving position for your voice commands to
be recognised by the system. In fact, the
microphone is correctly positioned and di-
rected for this purpose.
The words that are recognised by the sys-
tem are identified as voice commands.
The hands-free system recognises and re-
sponds to a preset list of voice commands.
The list of voice commands available de-
pends on the point you are at in the hands-
free system menu. The list of voice com-
mands available is accessible at any time by
pressing
‘and saying “Help”, or by say-
ing “Help” after a message from the sys-
tem. Blue&Me™also recognises per-
sonalised voice commands, such as, for ex-
ample, the names in your contacts.To use the voice commands, the voice
recognition system does not need time to
learn your voice.
To give the system a voice command,
press
‘and wait for the audible signal in-
dicating that the voice recognition system
is activated; you can now give the com-
mand in your normal voice – not too
quickly, but without hesitation. When the
system recognises the command, it will re-
spond or perform an action.
The voice commands are divided into lev-
el 1, level 2 and level 3.
When a valid* level 1 voice command is
given, the system is ready to recognise lev-
el 2 voice commands; when a valid level
2 voice command is given, the system is
ready to recognise level 3 voice com-
mands.
* Validmeans that the voice command is part of the Blue&Me™vocabulary and therefore recognisable at a given level.

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.
