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.
