BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 19

There is no voice training required for using voice
commands with this system.
To issue a voice command to the system, press the
steering wheel button and wait for the radio to mute,
then listen for “Say a command” and then a tone indi-
cating that voice recognition is active. Then, speak the
command in your natural voice at a moderate pace.
When the system recognizes the command, it will ac-
knowledge your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according to three in-
creasing levels: 1st level, 2nd level and 3rd level.
When a valid* 1st level keyword is said, the system will
activate 2nd level keywords; when a valid 2nd level
keyword is said, the system will activate 3rd level
keywords.If the user says a valid 1st level keyword, then the
submenu relevant to that command will remain active
until a keyword leading to another level is given, the
interaction is interrupted or the system times out because
no command has been given; the same rule applies for
the other lower levels (2nd and 3rd level).
NOTE:For the list of available keywords, refer to
VOICE COMMANDS (KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.
* Valid means that the keyword said is included in the
BLUE&ME™“dictionary” and can therefore be recog-
nized by the system for the concerned level.
To repeat the last system voice announcement, press the
steering wheel button and say“Repeat”or hold
the
steering wheel down for longer than 1 second.
The system can issue voice announcements. A voice
announcement is a spoken message initiated by the
system. To cancel a voice announcement, press the

•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.
