HANDS-FREE
The main 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 using voice commands or man-
ual controls on the steering wheel in com-
plete safety, freedom and comfort while dri-
ving, in full compliance with the law.
Bluetooth
®
technology makes it possi-
ble to use your mobile phone via the hands-
free system on the car without using con-
nections.
Thanks to its complete integration with the
voice commands, the controls on the steer-
ing wheel, the radio controls and the infor-
mation in the on-board multifunction display,
the Blue&Me™ system allows customers
who have a mobile phone with Blue-
tooth
®
, to use it even if it is in their jacket
pocket or handbag without ever having to
take their hands off the steering wheel. To
use the voice commands, the voice recogni-
tion system does not require any preparation
process. The system is capable of recognis-
ing the voice commands given, irrespective
of gender, by the tone of voice and inflection
of the person giving the instructions.
It is also possible to listen to your favourite
music saved on a USB device by selecting
the tracks and playback method using either
the steering wheel buttons or voice com-
mands.
Hands-free system with Bluetooth®technology,
SMS message reader and Media Player
GENERAL INFORMATION
Blue&Me™ based on Windows Mobile™
is a personal telematic system that allows
the use of applications for communication
and entertainment, expressly designed for
use in cars.
The Blue&Me™ system fitted on your ve-
hicle has the following functions: hands-free,
SMS text message reader (not all mobile
phones support this function), and Media
Player; it is also prepared for additional ser-
vices that will become available in the course
of time.
Note
Not all mobile phones support the voice read-
ing of SMS messages or the automatic trans-
fer of contacts via Bluetooth
®
. For more
information on compatible mobile phones,
go to www.alfaromeo.com.

To use the hands-free function you
need a mobile phone with Bluetooth
®
.
This function also offers you the possibility
of interacting vocally with the telephone
whilst driving, even if your mobile phone
does not have this feature. You can inter-
act with your mobile phone manually and
visually by using the manual controls on the
steering wheel and the multifunction display
on the control panel.
For further information on mobile phones com-
patible with Blue&Me™, refer to the TECH-
NOLOGY COMPATIBLE WITH Blue&Me™
chapter.
To start using the Blue&Me™ hands-free
function with voice recognition, simply reg-
ister your mobile phone with Bluetooth
®
in the system.
You only have to register your mobile phone
in the system once.
Note
Whilst registering a new mobile phone,
Blue&Me™ will search for a mobile
phone with Bluetooth
®
in its operating
range. When it finds one, it establishes a
connection by using a Personal Identification
Number (PIN).
Once the mobile phone has been registered,
you can transfer your contacts over to the
system, make a phone call by using the
phone book or by saying the telephone num-
ber, accept a call and answer a second in-
coming call.
You can use either the steering wheel con-
trols or voice recognition to interact with
Blue&Me™. With voice recognition, you
can activate the system’s functions by giv-
ing specific voice commands that are recog-
nised by the system. When the system
recognises a voice command it will respond
with the appropriate action. Voice recogni-
tion is an easy, practical way of using
Blue&Me™.
All the system functions are accessible via
the Blue&Me™ Main Menu. When the
car is stationary, you can navigate through
the menu by using either the steering wheel
controls or voice commands.
When the car is moving, you can only in-
teract with Blue&Me™ using the controls
on the steering wheel or voice commands
for functions relating to the telephone (LAST
CALLS and PHONEBOOK) and the Media
Player. To activate the settings functions
whilst driving, only voice commands are
available.

The hands-free function allows the following
operations to be performed:
❍ Calling someone in the phone di-
rectory using voice commands -
you can call someone in your mobile
phone book using your voice. You can al-
so 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 using
voice commands - you can dial a
phone number by saying the digits.
❍ Call the sender of an SMS mes-
sage - you can directly call the phone
number of the person who sent 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.
❍ Telephone Conference - you can
make a phone call to a third person whilst
a call is already active (with Bluetooth
®
phones connected that support this func-
tion).
❍ Call alert - while you are involved in
a telephone conversation, you can re-
ceive notice of another incoming call,
answer the incoming call and switch
from one call to the other. (Call alert is
not supported by all compatible mobile
phones).
With the mobile phone in the car, after hav-
ing registered it on Blue&Me™, you can
make phone calls using voice commands or
using the controls on the steering wheel. When
using the hands-free system, the audio of the
telephone conversation is transmitted through
the car’s speakers.
THE SMS MESSAGE READER
(Function available only with
compatible mobile phones)
The SMS message reader integrated in
Blue&Me™ makes it possible, through
speech synthesis technology, to automati-
cally read incoming messages on your mo-
bile phone with Bluetooth
®
technology via
your car’s audio system and it can even in-
terpret any abbreviations and emoticons in
the text message.
The SMS message reader functions are man-
aged through the controls on the steering
wheel or the Blue&Me™ voice com-
mands.
The Blue&Me™ SMS message reader al-
lows you to:
❍ Be informed, by means of an alert on the
instrument panel multifunction display, of
a new incoming text message on your mo-
bile phone with Bluetooth
®
, showing
the number/name of the sender.
Blue&Me™ will also offer to read the
message to you
❍ Manage the list of SMS text messages
received on your mobile phone connect-
ed to Blue&Me™

❍ Reread SMS text messages already re-
ceived and stored
❍ Make a voice call to the sender of the
SMS message received, using the steer-
ing wheel or voice controls
❍ Delete individual SMS messages or the
entire inbox, using the steering wheel
or voice controls.
The Blue&Me™ system is also capable of
recognising and reading abbreviations (for
example, “LOL” will be read as “Laughing
out loud”) and interpreting the emoticons
most frequently used (e.g. :-) will be read
as “Smile”) in text messages.
THE MEDIA PLAYER
The Blue&Me™ Media Player allows you
to play digital audio stored on a USB device
via your vehicle sound system simply by con-
necting it to the USB port on the vehicle.
With the Media Player, you can listen to your
personal music collection whilst driving.
❍ iPod player - see chapter COMPATI-
BLE USB STORAGE DEVICES - MANAG-
ING AUDIO FILES ON iPod DEVICES.
The following operations can be carried out
using the Media Player:
❍ Digital audio playback - you can
play all your digital audio files (.
mp3 ,
.
wma , .aac, . wav ) or a personal playlist
(in .
wpl format).
❍ Audio selection by category - you
can play all digital audio that belongs to
a certain category, for example an al-
bum, an artist or a music genre.
❍ Playback functions - whilst playing
tracks, you can use functions such as
Play, Stop, Next track, Previous track,
Shuffle and Repeat track
.
Note
The Media Player does not support com-
pressed audio files with other formats and
DRM (Digital Rights Management) protect-
ed audio files or MP4. If there are unsup-
ported audio files on the USB device, they
will be ignored.
To use the Media Player, simply connect your
USB device (directly or with an extension)
to the USB port in the car. When the igni-
tion key is turned to the MAR position
Blue&Me™ will start to create your mul-
timedia library index. At the end of the op-
eration, you can navigate through the whole
library and browse categories 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 car’s audio system.

WARNING
WARNING
The use of several functions of the system whilst driving can distract attention away from the road with the risk of causing an accident or
other serious consequences; they should therefore be used only when driving conditions permit and, if necessary, only with the car sta-
tionary.
7
ROAD SAFETY
Read these instructions and follow them: before using your system, read and follow all the instructions and safety informa-
tion in this manual (“User Guide”). Failure to observe the precautions contained in the User Guide may cause accidents or other serious
consequences.
Keep the manual in the car: if it is kept in the car, the User Guide will be quick and easy to consult for those not familiar with the system. Make
sure that anyone using the system has access to the User Guide and reads the instructions and the safety information carefully before using it
.
WARNING Looking at the system when driving can divert attention from the road, with the risk of accidents or other
serious consequences. When driving, do not change the system settings or enter data using the manual controls. Be-
fore carrying out these operations, stop the car safely in accordance with the highway code. Adopting these precau-
tions is important since setting or changing some functions may require the driver to be distracted from the road and
remove their hands from the steering wheel.
GENERAL OPERATION
Voice commands: the system functions can be carried out using only voice commands. The use of voice commands when driving allows you to
manage the system without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
Looking at the display for a long time: while driving, do not use any function that requires you to look 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 require such attention. Even occasional quick
glances at the display can be dangerous if the driver’s attention is diverted at a critical moment.
Setting the volume: do not turn the volume up too high. When driving, keep the volume at a level that allows you to hear the traffic outside
and emergency sirens. Driving without being able to hear these sounds may cause accidents.
Using the voice recognition: the voice recognition software is based on a statistical process that is subject to errors. It is your responsibility to
monitor the system’s voice recognition functions and to correct any errors.
Danger of Distraction: the functions may require manual settings (not using voice controls). Performing these settings or entering data while
driving can seriously distract your attention, causing accidents or having other serious consequences. Before carrying out these operations, stop the
car safely in accordance with the highway code.
