The Blue&Me™system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel, on sound system and
multifunction display messages, gives you
the possibility of interacting with your
Bluetooth
®wireless technology mobile
phone (even if you keep it in your pocket
or bag) without having to take your eyes
off the road or removing your hands from
the steering wheel. To use voice com-
mands you are not required to train the
voice recognition system to recognize
your voice. This implies that the system
is nearly equally performing with different
persons, i.e.: the voice recognition system
is of the “speaker independent” type.
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 vehicle.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology,
message reader and Media Player
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
vehicle.
The Blue&Me™system installed on your
vehicle is equipped with hands-free kit,
message reader and Media Player, and it is
preset for future installation of additional
services.
Note
Not all mobiles support the voice reading
of SMS or the automatic transfer of the di-
rectory through Bluetooth
®. For further
information, surf the web site www.fiat.com
to find out the list of compatible mobiles.
OVERVIEW

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
display.
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.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
vehicle 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 inter-
act with Blue&Me
™using buttons on
the steering wheel or voice commands
relevant only to phone functions (LAST
CALLSand PHONEBOOK) and Me-
dia Player. To activate settings when trav-
elling you can only use voice commands.

dio output of a phone conversation is heard

er will also interpret any abbreviation and
emoticon contained in the SMS text.

cating that voice recognition is active,

ished, pronounce “Settings” and then

❒The system will show the phone pair-
ing PIN number on the multifunction

about Bluetooth
®pairing.
❒On your mobile phone, query for de-
vices equipped with Bluetooth®wire-

™system on your vehicle):
select it.

strument panel display using your mo-
bile phone keypad. If pairing is success-

firmation message on the display. Pressing

sage will be displayed: in this event repeat

ing. This message will no longer be heard
at next pairing procedures.
