HOW TO USE BLUE&ME™ HANDS-FREE
COMMUNICATION
Steering Wheel Controls
Buttons on the steering wheel are used to perform
functions on the hands-free communication package,
activating voice recognition, using the media player
functions, or selecting aBLUE&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).
NOTE:
•For further information refer to DISPLAY AND BUT-
TONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL.
•Instructions concerning manual controls are identified
in the text by the appropriate symbol.
Voice Commands
Voice commands can be said by the driver, who 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 purpose.
Voice commands, which are words recognized by the
system, are identified as “keywords”.
The hands-free communication system recognizes and
responds to a preset list of voice commands. The list of
available voice commands depends on the keyword
menu level that you are currently on. The current list is
always available by pressing the
steering wheel
button and saying“Help”or, saying“Help”when
BLUE&ME™is waiting for a voice command.
BLUE&ME™also recognizes personalized versions of
voice commands, like the name of a contact in your
phonebook.
24 BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual

•Say words clearly, in your natural 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
speaking voice commands to prevent misunderstand-
ing since the system could recognize other 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.
NOTE:
•In countries where theBLUE&ME™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 language available
onBLUE&ME™.
•The display language can be changed from the instru-
ment cluster menu, but to change the voice recognition
(VR) language and announcements, contact your FIAT
Dealership or consult the dedicated site at www.fia-
tusa.com website.

example) on the display screen.
If John Smith has just one phone number, the system will
ask if you would like to call John Smith. To start the call
say“Yes”, otherwise say“No”.
If John Smith has several phone numbers, the system will
ask which phone number you would like to call (e.g.,
“Call John Smith(at) Work or (at) Home?”). Answer with
the type of required phone number (e.g.,“(at) Home”).

Practical hint
When you call a contact with multiple phone numbers,
use the “at location” portion of the voice command (e.g.,
“(at) Home”,“(at) Work”,“(on/at) Mobile”). This will
shorten the number of steps required to make the phone
call.
