•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.

The system will ask if you would like to copy your
phone’s phonebook. Copying is recommended. To start
copying the phonebook, say“Yes”;otherwise say“No”.
For certain mobile phones the phonebook is not copied
automatically, in this case you must send the contacts in
your mobile phone’s phonebook to theBLUE&ME™
hands-free communication system using your mobile
phone keypad.
Practical hints
To improve both the voice recognition of your phone-
book entries andBLUE&ME™pronunciation accuracy
when repeating the entries, please try to enter contact
entries and memorize them using the following criteria:
•Avoid abbreviations.
•Write foreign names according to the way in which
they are pronounced according to the rules of the
BLUE&ME™language set on your car. For example,enter “Tanja” as “Tanya”, to improve recognition ac-
curacy and also 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 enter “Nicolo Re-
bora” as “Nicolò Rébora” to obtain the correct pronun-
ciation.
•When adding or editing contact entries, bear in mind
that certain capital letters may be read as Roman
numerals (e.g., V may be read as fifth).
•When calling contacts by voice, do not include the
middle names or middle initials of your contacts.
