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.

It is of vital importance to wait un-
til this confirmation message is dis-
played since pressing
ßor ESCat
this time may cancel the pairing
process. If pairing fails, an error
message will be displayed and the
pairing procedure shall be repeated.
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
ßwhen 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. Notes
❒You are only required to pair your mo-
bile phone a single time.
❒You can pair up to five mobile phones,
to be used one at a time.
❒On your paired mobile phone, the
Bluetooth®setting must be turned on
in order to connect your mobile phone
with Blue&Me™.
❒Before transferring your mobile phone
contacts to the hands-free system,
make sure that each contact first and
last name is unique and distinctly rec-
ognizable so that the voice recognition
system will function properly.
❒The system will download only valid
contact entries. A valid contact entry
must include both a name and at least
one phone number.
