are specifically designed for use in your car.
•The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package installed in your car is equipped
with integral hands-free functionality, 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 recogni-
tion, steering wheel controls and a multifunction electronic display that allows you to use
your Bluetooth® enabled 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 mobile
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.

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 pri-
mary 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
