Blue&Me™based on Windows Mobile™,
is a personal telematic system that allows
for the use of applications for communication and entertainment, specially designed
for use in vehicles. The system fitted on your
vehicle has the following functions: hands
free, SMS text reader (not all mobile
phones support this function), Media Player
and navigator; it is also prepared for additional services that will become available in
the course of time.
The system makes a whole range of functions available, however it is useful to know
that:
❍
not all mobile phones support them
fully, such as, for example listening to
an incoming SMS message or automatic downloading of the directory.
❍
certain improvements are required for
using an iPod (see dedicated paragraph).
Thanks to its complete integration with the
voice commands, the controls on the steering wheel, RADIONAV controls and the
information in the on-board multifunction
display, the system allows customers who
have a mobile phone with Bluetooth
use it even if it is in their jacket pocket or
handbag without ever having to take their
hands off the steering wheel. In order to use
the voice commands the voice recognition
system does not require any preparation
process. The system is capable of recognizing the voice commands given, irrespective
of gender, by the tone of voice and intonation of the person giving the instructions. It
is possible to listen to music stored on a
USB device, selecting the tracks and play
modes using either the controls on the steering wheel or voice commands.

HANDS FREE
The basic feature of this function is hands
free telephone communication with voice
recognition and Bluetooth®. technology.
This system allows you to make and receive
phone calls through voice commands or using the manual controls on the steering
wheel in complete safety, freedom and comfort whilst driving in accordance with the
highway code.
Bluetooth®technology makes it possible
to use your mobile phone through the hands
free system on the car without the need for
connections.
To use the hands free function you need a
mobile phone with Bluetooth®. This function also offers you the opportunity of
speaking on the phone whilst driving even
if your mobile phone does not possess this
capability. You can interact manually and visually with your mobile phone using the
manual controls on the steering wheel and
in the on board multifunction display.

You can use both the controls on the steering wheel and voice recognition to interact
with the system. You can activate the system functions using voice recognition by giving specific voice commands that are recognized by the system. When the system
recognizes a voice command it will respond
with the appropriate action. Voice recognition is an easy, practical way of using the
system.
All the system functions are accessible via
the system Main Menu. You can navigate
the menu using either the controls on the
steering wheel or voice commands with the
car stationary.
When the car is moving, you can only interact with the system using the controls on
the steering wheel or voice commands for
functions relating to the telephone (LAST
CALLS and PHONEBOOK) and the Media
Player. Only voice commands can
be used whilst driving to activate setting
functions.
The following operations can be carried out
using the hands free function:
❍
Calling someone in the phone
directory using voice commands
- you can call someone in your mobile
phone book using your voice. You can
also phone someone in your phone
book by selecting them from the names
that appear in the control panel display.
(This function requires your phone book
to be copied onto the car’s hands free
system).
❍
Calling a phone number through
voice commands - you can dial a
phone number by saying the digits.
❍
Making a phone call to the
sender of an SMS text message
you can call the phone number of the
last person who sent you a text message or a message received earlier and
saved in the system message list.

call, answer the incoming call and
switch from one call to another. (This
call notification function is only supported by some compatible mobile
phones).
With the mobile phone in the car, after having registered it on the system, you can
make phone calls through voice commands
or using the controls on the steering wheel.
When using the hands free system, the telephone conversation audio is broadcast via
the car speakers.
THE SMS TEXT MESSAGE
READER
(Function only available with
compatible mobile phones)
The SMS text message reader integrated
in the system makes it possible, through
voice synthesis technology, to automatically read incoming messages on your mobile
phone with Bluetooth®technology via
your vehicle’s audio system and it can even
interpret any abbreviations and emoticons
in the text message.
The SMS text message reader functions are
managed through the controls on the steering wheel or the system voice controls.
The system SMS message reader makes it
possible to:
❍
Be informed, by means of a warning
message in the instrument panel multifunction display, of a new incoming
SMS text message on your mobile
phone with Bluetooth®, with the
number/name of the sender displayed
and the system will also suggest reading the message to you.
❍
Manage the list of SMS text messages
received on your mobile phone connected to the system.

or the entire list of SMS text messages
received using the controls on the steering wheel or voice commands.
The system is also capable of recognizing
and reading any abbreviations (for example, “TVB” will be read as “Ti voglio bene”
- I love you) and interpreting the most frequently used symbols (e.g. :-) will be read
as “Smile”) in text messages.

ROAD SAFETY
The use of several of the system functions whilst driving can distract attention away from the road with the risk of causing an accident or other serious consequences; they should therefore only be used when driving conditions permit and, if
necessary, on with the car stationary.
Read these Instructions and Follow them: before using your system, read all the safety information and instructions in
this user manual (“User Guide”) and follow them. Failure to observe the precautions in the User Guide can result in accidents or
other serious consequences.
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. Before using the system, make sure that everyone has easy access to the User Guide and that they read the
safety information and instructions carefully.
WARNING Consulting the system whilst driving can distract attention away from the road with the risk of
causing an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change the system settings whilst driving or enter
information other than verbally (i.e. using the manual controls). Before carrying out these operations, stop the
car safely in accordance with the highway code. It is important to take this precaution because setting or changing some of the functions may cause the driver to be distracted from the road and take their hands off the
steering wheel.

whilst driving means that the system can be operated without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
Prolonged view of the display: never consult anything whilst driving that requires looking at the display for a long time. Stop the
car safely in accordance with the highway code before consulting any of the system functions that requires prolonged attention. Even only glancing at the display occasionally can have a dangerous affect if the driver’s attention is distracted at a critical time.
Setting the volume: do not turn the volume up too high. Whilst driving, keep the volume at a level where you can still here the traffic outside and emergency signals. Driving without being able to hear these can cause accidents.
Use of Voice Recognition: the voice recognition software is based on a statistical process that is subject to error. It is your responsibility to monitor the voice recognition functions allowed by the system and to correct any mistakes.
Dangers of Distraction: the functions could require manual settings (not using voice commands). Making these settings or entering
information whilst driving can distract attention causing an accident or resulting in serious danger. Before carrying out these operations,
stop the car safely in accordance with the highway code.

Use of voice recognition
The voice recognition system can sometimes
make a mistake in recognizing a voice command. To make sure that your voice commands are always recognized, stick to the
following guide lines:
❍
After having pressed
command after the system has provided
the acoustic signal that indicates that
the voice recognition is activated.
❍
After the system has asked a question,
wait for a second before giving the an-
swer to be sure that the voice recogni-
tion is activated.

ô
❍
If possible, try and keep the noise in the
passenger compartment to a minimum.
❍
Before giving voice commands, ask your
companions not to talk. Since the system recognizes words irrespective of
who is speaking, if several people are
speaking at the same time, the system
make recognize different words or additional words to those you have spoken.
❍
For optimum operation it is advisable to
close the sun roof if your car has one.
Notes
For countries where a mother tongue version is not available, voice recognition of
commands and especially contacts in the
phone list may prove difficult. We advise
adopting pronounciation that conforms to
the language in the system.
To change the voice recognition language, refer to an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service consult the dedicated area in www.alfaromeo.com.
