2009 FIAT DUCATO 250 ESP

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.

ROAD SAFETY
Read and Follow Instructions:before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this
end user manual (“User’s Guide”). Not following precautions found in this User’s Guide can lead to an accident or other serious con-
sequences.
Keep User’s Guide in the vehicle: when kept in the vehicle, the User’s Guide will be a ready reference for you and other users unfamiliar
with the system. Please make certain that before using the system for the first time, all persons have access to the User’s Guide and read its in-
structions and safety information carefully.
WARNING: Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly
cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your
hands) while driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since
while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and re-
move your hands from the wheel.
GENERAL OPERATION
Voice Command Control: functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while dri-
ving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen: do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen
may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency sig-
nals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is your
responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.
Distraction Hazard: any features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert data while driving can
seriously distract your attention and could cause an accident or other serious consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before
attempting these operations.
WARNING
Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possi-
bly cause an accident or other serious consequences; for this reason certain functions shall only be used when
driving conditions are secure and, if required, only when the vehicle is stopped.

you would like to call John. To start the
call say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
If John has several phone numbers, the
system will ask which phone number you
would like to call (e.g.: “Call John (at)
Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with
the type of required phone number (e.g.:
“(at) Home”). If John has several phone numbers but the
“location” (i.e.: the type of phone number
like work, home, etc.) is missing, the sys-
tem will display the selected contact and
a list of related phone numbers. The
hands-free phone system will ask if you
would like to call the phone number dis-
played. To respond with “yes”, pronounce
“Yes”, otherwise pronounce “No”. If this
is the correct contact but the wrong num-
ber, say “Forward” or “Backward” to
navigate to the phone number you’d like
to call. To call the displayed phone num-
ber, pronounce “Call”. You can also surf
the phone number list manually by press-
ing the buttons on the steering wheel

Voice commands can be pronounced by
the driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is
properly located and oriented to this pur-
pose.
Voice commands, which are words rec-
ognized by the system, are identified as
“keywords”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes
and responds to a preset list of voice com-
mands. The list of available voice com-
mands depends on the keyword level that
you are currently on. The current list is al-
ways available by pressing
‘and pro-
nouncing “Help” or, pronouncing “Help”
after whichever question of the system.
Blue&Me™also recognizes personalized
versions of voice commands like the name
of a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training required for us-
ing voice commands with this system.

To issue a voice command to the system,
press
‘and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then,
speak the command in your natural voice
at a moderate pace. When the system rec-
ognizes the command, it will acknowledge
your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
stlevel, 2ndlev-
el and 3rdlevel.
When a valid* 1
stlevel keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlev-
el keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rdlevel keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
stlevel key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a key-
word leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
nd
and 3rdlevel).
ÂFor the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.To repeat the last system voice an-
nouncement, press
‘for longer than 1
second or press shortly
‘and pro-
nounce “Repeat”.
The system can issue voice announce-
ments. A voice announcement is a spoken
message initiated by the system. To can-
cel a voice announcement, press ESC
ˆ,
or press
‘and pronounce “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way commu-
nication/spoken exchange between system
and user. To initiate a voice interaction,

Notes
❒Instructions concerning voice com-
mands are identified in the text by sym-
bol
}.
❒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 vehicle.
❒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.
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.

Dialling a phone number using
voice commands
}
To dial a phone number using voice
interaction, proceed as follows:
Press
‘and pronounce “Dial”.
The system will respond with
“Number, please”.
Pronounce the phone number as a
sequence of single digits (e.g.: “0”,
“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”,
“9”, “+” (plus), “#” (pound) or “*”
(star).
For example, 0113290103 has to be
pronounced as: “zero, one, one,
three, two, nine, zero, one, zero,
three”.
The system will repeat the complete
phone number and display it.
If the number is complete, pro-
nounce “Dial”. If you have not fin-
ished speaking the phone number,
then pronounce the remaining dig-
its and then pronounce “Dial”.The system will start the call to the
displayed phone number.
To end the phone call, press
˜MAINfor longer than 1 second.
You can pronounce the sequence of
phone number digits in “digit
groups” which allows you to verify
the recognized number in several
small portions. Digit groups are cre-
ated by the pauses you use while
pronouncing the sequence of digits.
If you pause after pronouncing sev-
eral digits, a digit group is created.
The system will repeat the recog-
nized digits.
If the spoken digits are correct, you
can continue pronouncing the
phone number. If the spoken digits
are incorrect, you can delete the
digit group by pronouncing
“Delete”. The system will delete
the last group of numbers and dis-
play the partially-dialled phone num-
ber. Then, you can re-pronounce
the digit group and also the re-
maining phone number digits.
To cancel the phone call, pronounce
“Cancel”.
To cancel the phone call and start
dialling again, pronounce “Start
over”.To ask the system to repeat the rec-
ognized phone number, pronounce
“Repeat”. If no phone number was
dialled, the system says “No num-
ber available”.
If the repeated phone number is
correct, pronounce “Dial” to start
the call.
Note
When dialling a phone number by voice
commands, it is essential to minimize
background noise in the vehicle and to ask
the other passengers to keep silent while
you are speaking digits. Since the system
is of the speaker independent type it can
recognize also other voices; there is there-
fore the risk that some numbers are ac-
cidentally recognized, added to correct
numbers or not recognized.
