OVERVIEW
5
Blue&Me™ Nav based on Windows Mobile™ is a personal telematic system that
allows the use of communication, entertainment and navigation applications specifically designed for in-car use.
The Blue&Me™ Nav system fitted on
your vehicle has the following functions:
hands-free, SMS text reader (not all mobile
phones support this function), multimedia
player and navigator; it is also prepared for
additional services that will become available in the course of time.
Blue&Me™ Nav 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).
The Blue&Me™ Nav system, fully integral with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel, on sound system front panel and multifunction display messages, gives
you the possibility of interacting with your
Bluetooth
®
wireless technology mobile
phone (even if you keep it in your pocket
or bag) without having to take your eyes off
the road or removing your hands from the
steering wheel. To use voice commands you
are not required to train the voice recognition system to recognize your voice. This implies that the system is nearly equally performing with different persons, i.e.: the voice
recognition system is of the “speaker independent” type.
With this system you can also play your
favourite music stored on USB device and
select tracks and playback modes with both
voice commands or buttons on the steering wheel.
THE HANDS-FREE KIT
The basic characteristic of this hands-free kit
is voice recognition with Bluetooth®wireless technology. With this system you can
make and receive calls safely and securely
using either voice commands or buttons on
the steering wheel under whatever driving
condition without having to take your eyes
off the road or removing your hands from
the steering wheel, as required by current
law regulations.
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 Blue-
®
tooth
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 this capability.
You can also interact with your mobile phone
manually and visually using the steering
wheel controls and the instrument panel
multifunction display.
For further details on the mobile phones supported by Blue&Me™ Nav, refer to section Blue&Me™ Nav SUPPORTED MOBILE PHONES.
To get started with Blue&Me™ Nav
hands-free kit with voice recognition, you
have to simply pair your Bluetooth
®
wireless technology enabled mobile phone with
the system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made
only once.

OVERVIEW
Note
During the mobile phone pairing procedure,
Blue&Me™ Nav attempts to detect a
phone equipped with Bluetooth®wireless
technology within range and then establishes the connection using a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Once your phone is paired, you have the option to transfer your mobile phone contacts
to the hands-free kit, to make a phone call
either by using the contacts list or directly
pronouncing the phone number, to answer
a call and also to answer another incoming
phone call.
To interact with Blue&Me™ Navyou can
use either buttons on the steering wheel and
voice commands. With voice recognition,
you can perform system function by speaking voice commands, also identified as “keywords”. When the system recognizes a keyword, it will respond with the appropriate
action. Voice recognition is an easy and convenient way to use Blue&Me™ Nav.
All the system functions are available within the Blue&Me™ Nav Main Menu.
When the car is not moving, you can surf
through the menu using either buttons on
the steering wheel and voice commands.
When you are travelling, you can interact
with Blue&Me™ Nav using buttons on
the steering wheel or voice commands relevant only to phone functions (LAST CALLS
and PHONEBOOK) and media player. To activate settings when travelling you can only use voice commands.
The hands-free kit enables the following operations:
❍
Contact calling by voice - you can
call a contact in your mobile phone phonebook using your voice. You can also call
a contact in your phonebook by scanning
through the entries on the multifunction
display.
(To use this option you have to transfer
your mobile phone contacts to the handsfree kit phonebook).
❍
Digit-dialling by voice - you can dial a phone number by speaking the digits to be dialled.
❍
To call the SMS text sender - call
directly the last SMS text sender or the
sender of a message received and stored
yet in the Blue&Me™ Nav inbox.
❍
Receiving phone calls - you can accept an incoming call simply by pressing
a button on the steering wheel.
❍
Conference Call - you can call another contact while you are engaged in a
phone conversation (with Bluetooth
phones supporting this option)
❍
Call waiting - while engaged in a phone
conversation, you can receive notification
of another incoming phone call, answer
the other incoming phone call, and switch
between two ongoing phone conversations. (Call waiting is only supported by
a subset of compatible mobile phones).
After you place your mobile phone in the car
environment and create a pairing relationship
with Blue&Me™ Nav, you can make
phone calls by speaking keywords or pressing buttons on the steering wheel. When using the hands-free phone, the audio output
of a phone conversation is heard through your
car sound speakers.
®
MESSAGE READER
(Function only available with
compatible mobile phones)
The Blue&Me™ Nav message reader
enables automatic reading, through the car
sound system, of the SMS texts you receive
on your Bluetooth®wireless technology
mobile phone. The message reader will also interpret any abbreviation and emoticon
contained in the SMS text.
Message reader functions are managed by
the control buttons on the steering wheel or
by the Blue&Me™ Nav voice commands.
The Blue&Me™ Nav message reader
enables the following operations:
❍
To display on the instrument panel multifunction display a visual notification
signal indicating that you have received
a new SMS text on your Bluetooth
wireless technology mobile phone, with
sender’s number/name; Blue&Me™
Nav will also propose you to read the

(e.g. “ILUVU” will be read like “I love you”)
and interpret the most usual emoticons (e.g.
:-) will be read like “Smile”), adopted nowadays to write SMS texts.
MEDIA PLAYER
With the Blue&Me™ Nav 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, while you are driving you can

lead) your USB device to the car USB port.
Turning the ignition key to MAR,
Blue&Me™ Nav will start building your
media library. Once the operation is completed, you can browse the whole library
and scroll through the categories by either
using the steering wheel controls, voice controls or the radio controls. Blue&Me™
Nav will then play your selection via the
car sound system.
OVERVIEW
THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The Blue&Me™ Nav navigation system
allows you to reach a required location
quickly and safely. You will be taken to your
destination by means of voice messages and
pictogram instructions shown on a the vehicle’s reconfigurable multifunction display.

❍
Enter a new destination – you can enter the address of a desired destination,
specifying the name of the destination
street with the house number or simply
the town/city centre.
❍
Navigate to a point of interest – you can
call up as a final destination a point of
interest selected from a category list (e.g.
hotels, restaurants, airports, railway stations, authorised workshops, etc.).
❍
Trip information – Blue&Me™ Nav
is able to provide estimated time of arrival and distance to a preset destination.
It also allows you to display your car’s
position (latitude, longitude and number
of GPS satellites received).
❍
Recent destinations – you may choose
one of the destinations recently preset,
stored by the system in a special list.
❍
Navigation settings – you can set your
preferences for the route type, e.g. motorways, toll-roads or ferries.
❍
Route simulation – Blue&Me™ Nav
allows you to simulate the type of route
to your set destination in advance.
OVERVIEW
ROAD SAFETY
Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly cause
an accident or other serious consequences; for this reason certain functions shall only be used when driving condi-
tions are secure and, if required, only when the car is stopped.
Read and Follow Instructions: before using your system, read and follow all instructions and safety information provided in this
end user manual (“User’s Guide”). Not following precautions found in this User’s Guide can lead to an accident or other serious conse-
quences.
Keep User’s Guide in the car: when kept in the car, the User’s Guide will be a ready reference for you and other users unfamiliar with the
system. Please make certain that before using the system for the first time, all persons have access to the User’s Guide and read its instructions
and safety information carefully.
IMPORTANT Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and possibly cause an accident or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your
hands) while driving. Stop the car in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since
while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.
9
1
10
Voice Command Control: functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while
driving allows you to operate the system without removing your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen: do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen while you are driving. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to the screen
may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: do not raise the volume excessively. 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 could cause an accident.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor any speech recognition functions included in the system and address any errors.
Distraction Hazard: any features may require manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform such set-up 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.

❍
After you press
a voice command within a few seconds,
the system will prompt you to pronounce
a voice command. If you do not respond,
then voice recognition shuts off. It is the
same case with not responding to a question during a voice interaction. You will
hear a tone indicating when voice recognition is deactivated.
❍
When the system fails to recognize your
voice command, it will give you another opportunity to re-pronounce the voice
command. If you are unsure of whether
the voice command is appropriate for the
given context, pronounce “Help”.

HOW TO USE
Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system may occasionally misrecognize a voice command. To en-
}
sure that your voice commands are always
recognized by the system, use the following guidelines:
❍
After pressing
command after the system plays a tone
indicating that voice recognition is active.
❍
After the system asks a question, wait
for one second before pronouncing the
response to ensure that voice recognition
is active.
❍
If you want to pronounce a command
without waiting that the system has finished its announcement or question, you
can press again shortly ‘to interrupt
what the system is saying and pronounce
your command.
❍
Speak at a normal volume.
❍
Pronounce words clearly, in your natural voice at a moderate pace, without
stops.

‘
❍
If possible, try to minimize background
noise in the car.
❍
Ask the other passengers to keep silent
while you are pronouncing voice commands to prevent misunderstanding since
the system could recognize other words
(in addition to or different from your
voice command) if several people are
speaking.
❍
If your car has a convertible top, close it
before using voice recognition.
Notes
As concerns countries where the version in
native language is not available, voice recognition of the different commands and phonebook contacts could be difficult. You are
therefore recommended to adopt a pronunciation/accent meeting the language present on Blue&Me™ Nav.
To change the voice recognition language contact Fiat Dealership or consult the dedicated site at www.alfaromeo.com.
