Hands-free system with Bluetooth®technology,
SMS message reader and Media Player
GENERAL INFORMATION
Blue&Me™ based on Microsoft Auto™
is a personal infotainment system which
allows the use of communication and entertainment applications, specially designed
for use on cars.
The Blue&Me™ system installed on your
car is equipped with hands-free, SMS message reader and Media Player, and it is preset for the installation of additional services that will become available over time.
Note
Not all mobile phones support the SMS
text message reader function or automatic phonebook transfer via Bluetooth
more information on mobile phones which
support this function, go to www.fiat.com.
®
. For
Thanks to its complete integration with
the voice commands, the steering wheel
controls, the car radio controls and the information on the instrument panel display,
the Blue&Me™ system allows customers
who have a mobile phone with Blue-
tooth®to use it even if it is in their jack-
et pocket or handbag without ever having
to take their hands off the steering wheel.
To use the voice commands, there is no
need for a voice learning stage by the voice
recognition system.
The system is capable of recognising the
voice commands given, irrespective of
gender, by the tone of voice and intonation of the person giving the instructions.
With this system you can also play your
favourite music stored on a USB device
and select tracks and playback modes with
both voice commands and buttons on the
steering wheel.
HANDS-FREE SYSTEM
The basic characteristic of this function is
the hands-free communication with voice
recognition and Bluetooth
This system allows you to make and receive phone calls using voice commands
or manual controls on the steering wheel
in complete safety, freedom and comfort
while driving, in full compliance with the
requirements of the law.
Bluetooth
connection between your mobile phone
and the hands-free system installed on
your car.

To use the hands-free function, you need
a Bluetooth®technology enabled mobile
phone. This function allows you to interact 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 display.
For more information on the mobile
phones supported by Blue&Me™, refer
to the chapter TECHNOLOGIES SUPPORTED BY BLUE&ME™.
To get started with the Blue&Me™
hands-free function with voice recognition,
simply pair your Bluetooth
®
technology
enabled mobile phone with the system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be carried out only once.
Note
During the mobile phone pairing procedure, Blue&Me™ attempts to detect
a phone equipped with Bluetooth
®
technology within range. It then establishes the
connection using a Personal Identification
Number (PIN).
Once your phone is paired, you can transfer your mobile phone contacts to the
system, make a phone call either by using the phonebook or dictating the phone
number, accept a call and answer a second incoming call.
To interact with Blue&Me™ you can use
both the buttons on the steering wheel
and voice commands. With voice recognition, you can perform system functions
by giving voice commands which are
recognised by the system. When the system recognises a voice command, it will
respond with the appropriate action.
Voice recognition is an easy and convenient way to use Blue&Me™.
All the system functions are available within the Blue&Me™ Main Menu. When the
car is not moving, you can scroll through
the menu using both the buttons on the
steering wheel and voice commands.
When you are travelling, you can interact with Blue&Me™using buttons on the
steering wheel or voice commands relevant only to phone functions (LAST
CALLS and PHONEBOOK) and the
Media Player. To activate settings functions
when travelling you can only use voice
commands.
The hands-free function enables the following operations:
❒
Calling a contact in the phonebook
using voice commands – you can call
a contact in your mobile phone phonebook using your voice. You can also call
someone in your phonebook by selecting from those that appear on the
display of the instrument panel.
(This function requires your phonebook
to be copied onto the car’s hands-free
system).
❒
Dialling a telephone number using voice commands – you can dial
a phone number by saying the digits.
4
❒
Calling the sender of an SMS message – you can directly call the phone
number of the sender of the last message
received, or a message already received
and saved in the Blue&Me™ inbox.
❒
Accepting a call – you can accept an
incoming call by pressing the ß/MENU
button on the steering wheel.
❒
Conference Call – you can call another contact with a phone conversation already in progress (with Bluetooth
phones that support this function)
❒
Call waiting – while engaged in a phone
conversation, you can receive notification of another incoming phone call, answer the incoming phone call, and
switch between the calls. (Call waiting
is only supported by some of the compatible mobile phones).
❒
Refuse a call – you can refuse an
incoming call by pressing the key
/MENU
ß
.
SMS MESSAGE READER
(only for mobile phones which
support this function)
A speech synthesiser integrated with
Blue&Me™ can automatically read incoming messages on your car radio received on a mobile phone equipped with
Bluetooth
®
technology. Abbreviations
and emoticons in the text message are
also interpreted.
®
The SMS message reader functions are
managed by the steering wheel controls or
Blue&Me™ voice commands.
The Blue&Me™ SMS message reader allows you to:
❒
Be informed, by means of a warning
message on the instrument panel display, of a new SMS message on your
mobile phone with Bluetooth®; the
number/name of the sender is displayed and Blue&Me™ will also ask
whether to read the message to you.
❒
Manage the inbox on your mobile
phone connected to Blue&Me™.
❒
Re-read previously received and saved
SMS messages.
❒
Make a voice call to the sender of the
received SMS message by means of the
steering wheel controls or voice commands.
❒
Delete single SMS messages or the entire SMS inbox by means of the steering wheel controls or voice commands.
Blue&Me™ can also recognise and read
abbreviations (e.g. “LOL” will be read
“Laughing out loud”) and interpret the
most common emoticons (e.g. :-) will be
read as Smiley) used for texting today.
5
MEDIA PLAYER
With the Blue&Me™ Media Player you
can play, via the car sound system, the digital audio files stored on a USB device by
simply connecting it to the USB port located in the car.
In this way, you can play your personal
music collections while you are driving.
❒
iPod player – see “Management of audio files from iPod devices”.
With the Media Player, you can:
❒
Digital audio playback – you can play
back your digital audio files or a customised playlist (see “Compatible digital audio files”).
❒
Audio selection by category –you
can play back all audio in a certain category, e.g. album, artist or genre.
❒
Using the playback functions – whilst
playing tracks you can use other functions such as Play, Stop, Next, Previous,
Shuffle and Track loop.
Note
Media Player does not support DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected audio
files. Unsupported audio files on the USB
device will be ignored (see “Compatible
digital audio files”).
To use Media Player, simply plug your USB
device to the car-s USB port (either directly or with an extension lead). When
the key is turned to MAR, Blue&Me™
will start to create your media library index. At the end of the operation, you can
navigate through the whole library and
browse categories by using the steering
wheel controls, voice commands or car
radio controls. After you have chosen
what you want to listen to, Blue&Me™
will play it through the cars audio system.

ROAD SAFETY
WARNING
Using certain functions of this system while driving can distract your attention from the road, and possibly cause an acci-
it and, if required, only when the car is stopped.
dent or have other serious consequences; for this reason certain functions must only be used when driving conditions allow
WARNING
Read and follow these instructions: before using your system, read and follow all the safety information and instructions in this
quences.
Keep the manual in the car: if it is kept in the car, the User Guide will become something quick and easy to consult for those not familiar
with the system. Make sure that before using the system for the first time, all persons have access to the User Guide and read its instructions
and safety information carefully.
IMPORTANT: Looking at the system when driving can divert attention from the road, risking accidents or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using the manual controls) while driving. Stop the car
in a safe and legal manner before carrying out these operations. This is important since while setting up or changing some functions your attention may be distracted from the road and you may have to remove your hands from the wheel.
Voice commands: the system functions can be carried out using only voice commands. Using voice commands while driving allows you to op-
erate the system without removing your hands from the wheel.
Looking at the display for a long time: while driving, do not use any function that requires looking at the display for a long time. Pull over
in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system that requires prolonged attention. Even occasional short glances
at the display may be hazardous if your attention is diverted from driving at a critical moment.
Setting the volume: do not turn the volume up too high. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency
signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds may cause an accident.
Using the voice recognition: the voice recognition software is based on a statistical process that is subject to error. It is your responsibility
to monitor voice recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.
Danger of distraction: the functions may require manual settings (not using voice commands). Attempting to perform such setup or insert
data while driving can seriously distract your attention and could cause an accident or other serious consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe
and legal manner before attempting these operations.

VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be given by the driver, who does not need to change their
normal driving position to be heard by
the system. The microphone is properly
located and oriented for this purpose.
The words which are recognised by the
system are identified as “voice commands”.
The hands-free system recognises and responds to a preset list of voice commands.
The list of available voice commands depends on the point you are at in the handsfree system menu. The list of voice commands available at any moment is always
available by pressing
or saying “Help” after a system message.
Blue&Me™ also recognises personalised
versions of voice commands such as the
name of a contact in your phonebook.
There is no voice training phase required
for using voice commands with this
hands-free system.

To give the system a voice command, press
, wait for the acoustic signal which in-
‘
dicates that the voice recognition system
is active; at this point you can give the
command in your normal voice, not too
quickly but without interruptions. When
the system recognises the command, it will
give a response or act on your command.
The voice commands are divided into level 1, level 2 and level 3.
When a valid* 1st level voice command is
given, the system will activate 2nd level
voice commands; when a valid 2nd level
voice command is given, the system will
activate 3rd level voice commands.
If the user gives a valid 1st level voice command, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a voice
command leading to another level is given
or the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
and 3rd).
A voice announcement is a spoken message initiated by the system. To cancel
a voice announcement, press
press ‘and say “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a exchange of messages/commands between the system and
the user. To initiate a voice interaction,
press
rupt an interaction and start a new one,

Notes
❒
Instructions concerning the use of voice
commands are identified in the text by
the symbol }.
❒
After you press ‘, if you do not issue a voice command within a few seconds, the system will prompt you to
give a voice command. If you do not respond, then voice recognition deactivates. This is also the case if you do not
respond to a question from the system.
You will hear a audible signal indicating that voice recognition has been deactivated.
❒
When the system fails to recognise one
of your voice commands, it will give you
another opportunity to issue the voice
command. If you are unsure of whether
the voice command is appropriate for
a given level, say “Help”.
Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system may occasionally fail to recognise a voice command.
To ensure that your voice commands are
always recognised by the system, use the
following guidelines:
❒
After pressing ‘, give the voice command after the system provides the audible signal that indicates that voice
recognition is active.
❒
After the system has asked you a question, wait a second before giving the answer, in order to be sure that voice
recognition is active.
❒
If you want to give a command without
waiting for the system to finish its announcement or question, you can press
again briefly to interrupt the system
‘
and give your command.
❒
Speak at a normal volume.
❒
Pronounce words clearly, not too
quickly but without interruptions.
❒
If possible, try to minimise noise inside
the car.
❒
Ask the other passengers not to talk
before you give voice commands. This
is to prevent misunderstanding since
the system may recognise other words
(in addition to or different from your
voice command) if several people are
speaking.
❒
If your car has a sun roof, you are advised to close it before using voice
recognition.
Notes
For countries where a version in the native language is not available, voice recognition of the different commands and

Note
When dialling a phone number using voice
commands, it is essential to minimise background noise in the car and that the other passengers do not speak while you are
