BLUE&ME™ HANDS-FREE COMMUNICATION
• FIAT’s Windows Mobile™ based BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication is a
personal telematics system that incorporates communication and entertainment
applications that are expressly designed for use in your car.
• The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package installed in your car is
equipped with integral hands-free kit, message reader, and media player.
BLUE&ME™ is designed to support the future installation of additional services.
• The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package features integrated voice
recognition, steering wheel controls and a multifunction electronic display that
allows you to use your Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled mobile phone
without having to take your eyes off the road. You can even keep your phone in a
pocket or a bag. You are not required to train the voice recognition system to
recognize your voice. The system is “speaker independent” and performs equally
well for different users.
• Bluetooth® wireless technology enables wireless connection between your mo-
bile phone and the hands-free kit installed on your car.
• To use the hands-free kit, you need a Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled
mobile phone. This hands-free kit gives you the possibility of interacting vocally
with your mobile phone while driving, even if your mobile device does not feature
Voice Recognition. You can also interact with your mobile phone manually and
visually using the steering wheel controls and the instrument panel multifunction
display. Please refer to the Fiat Blue & Me Radio Supplement for further
information.
WARNING!
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, accident and injury. It
is strongly recommended that you use extreme caution when using any device or
feature that may take your focus off the road or your hands off the steering wheel.
Your primary responsibility is the safe operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any handheld device while driving, encourage the use of voice-
operated systems when possible and that you become aware of applicable laws
that may affect the use of electronic devices while driving.

BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication
•To use the hands-free feature, you need a Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled
mobile phone. This hands-free feature gives you the possibility of interacting vocally
with your mobile phone while driving, even if your mobile device does not feature this
capability. You can also interact with your mobile phone manually and visually using
the steering wheel controls and the instrument panel Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) display.
• To get started with BLUE&ME™ hands-free feature with voice recognition, you
have to simply pair your Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled mobile phone
with the system.
• Refer to the BLUE&ME™ User's Manual on the DVD for more details.
Pair Your Mobile Phone
• Push the VR steering wheel button and say, “Settings” then, at the end of the
BLUE&ME™ message say, “Pairing.” You may also access the pairing feature via
the menu by selecting it.
• The system will show the phone pairing PIN number on the EVIC display. For the
next two steps, consult your mobile phone owner’s manual about Bluetooth®
pairing procedures for your phone.
• On your mobile phone, search for devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless
technology (the setting on your mobile phone might be called Discover or New
Device). In this list you will find BLUE&ME™ (name identifying the BLUE&ME™
system on your car) select it.
• When prompted by the mobile phone, enter the PIN number shown on the instru-
ment panel display using your mobile phone keypad. If pairing is successful, the
system will say “Connecting” and at the end the display will show as confirmation
message, the ID of the paired mobile phone.
•It is essential to wait until you see this confirmation message on the display. Pushing
the PHONE/MENU button on the steering wheel or the MUTE/ESC button before the
message is displayed may cancel the pairing process. If the pairing process fails, an
error message will be displayed: in this event repeat the pairing procedure.
• At first pairing, BLUE&ME™ will say “Welcome” immediately after connecting.
This message will no longer be heard when your phone automatically connects to
the BLUE&ME™ system on future ignition cycles.
• BLUE&ME™ will ask if you would like to copy your paired phone phonebook to
BLUE&ME™. It is recommended to copy it. To start copying the phonebook say
“Yes”, otherwise say “No.”
