2009 FIAT LINEA ECO mode

The Blue&Me™system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of in-
teracting with your Bluetooth
®wireless
technology mobile phone (even if you
keep it in your pocket or bag) without hav-
ing to take your eyes off the road or re-
moving your hands from the steering
wheel. To use voice commands you are
not required to train the voice recognition
system to recognize your voice. This im-
plies that the system is nearly equally per-
forming with different persons, i.e.: the
voice recognition system is of the “speak-
er 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 car.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology,
message reader and media player
Windows Mobile™-based Fiat Blue&Me™

use communication and entertainment ap-
plications expressly designed for use in the

car is equipped with hands-free kit, mes-
sage reader and media player, and it is pre-
set for future installation of additional ser-
vices.

HOW TO USE
Blue&Me™
CONTROLS STEERING WHEEL
Buttons on the steering wheel (see fig. 1)
are used to perform functions on the
hands-free kit, activating voice recognition,
using the media player functions or select-
ing a Blue&Me™menu option.
Certain buttons have multiple functions
which depend on the current state of the
system.
The function chosen in response to a key
press is in some cases controlled by the
duration of the key press (short or long).

For further information read chapter
DISPLAY AND BUTTONS ON THE
STEERING WHEEL.

Instructions concerning manual controls
are identified in the text by symbol
?.VOICE COMMANDS
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).

For the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
* Validmeans that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me™“dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.

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.
