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
®
wire-
less 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 pos-
sibility of interacting vocally with your mo-
bile phone while driving, even if your mo-
bile 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 sup-
ported by Blue&Me
™ Nav, refer to sec-
tion Blue&Me ™ Nav SUPPORTED MO-
BILE PHONES.
To get started with Blue&Me
™ Nav
hands-free kit with voice recognition, you
have to simply pair your Bluetooth
®
wire-
less technology enabled mobile phone with
the system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made
only once.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology,
message reader, media player and navigation system
OVERVIEW
Alfa Romeo Blue&Me ™ Nav Nav based
on Windows Mobile™ is a personal telem-
atic system that allows the use of commu-
nication, entertainment and navigation ap-
plications specifically designed for in-car use.
The Blue&Me
™ Nav system installed on
your car offers handsfree, text message
reader, multimedia player and navigation
system functions and is ready for the addi-
tion of further services due to become avail-
able in the future.
The Blue&Me
™ Nav system, fully inte-
gral with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel and multifunction display
messages, gives you the possibility of in-
teracting 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 near-
ly equally performing with different persons,
i.e.: the voice recognition system is of the
“speaker independent” type.

44
NOTE
During the mobile phone pairing procedure,
Blue&Me ™ Nav attempts to detect a
phone equipped with Bluetooth
®
wireless
technology within range and then estab-
lishes the connection using a Personal Iden-
tification Number (PIN).
Once your phone is paired, you have the op-
tion 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
™ Nav you can
use either buttons on the steering wheel and
voice commands. With voice recognition,
you can perform system function by speak-
ing voice commands, also identified as “key-
words”. When the system recognizes a key-
word, it will respond with the appropriate
action. Voice recognition is an easy and con-
venient way to use Blue&Me ™ Nav.
All the system functions are available with-
in 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 rel-
evant 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 op-
erations:
❒ Contact calling by voice - you can call
a contact in your mobile phone phonebook
using your voice. You can also call a con-
tact 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 hands-free 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 di-
rectly the last SMS text sender or the
sender of a message received and stored
yet in the Blue&Me ™ Nav inbox.
❒ To answer a call - you can answer an
incoming call by pressing the key
ß
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 conversa-
tions. (Call waiting is only supported by
a subset of compatible mobile phones).

55
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 press-
ing buttons on the steering wheel. When us-
ing the hands-free phone, the audio output
of a phone conversation is heard through your
car sound speakers.
MESSAGE READER
The Blue&Me ™ Nav message reader en-
ables automatic reading, through the car
sound system, of the SMS texts you receive
on your Bluetooth
®
wireless technology
mobile phone. The message reader will al-
so 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 com-
mands.
The Blue&Me
™ Nav message reader en-
ables the following operations:
❒ To display on the instrument panel mul-
tifunction 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
message received
❒ To manage the list of SMS texts received
on your Blue&Me ™ Nav paired mo-
bile phone
❒ To read again the messages received and
stored
❒ To call the SMS text sender using the
buttons on the steering wheel or voice
commands
❒ To delete individual messages or the en-
tire inbox using the buttons on the steer-
ing wheel or voice commands.
The Blue&Me
™ Nav system can also rec-
ognize and read abbreviations, if any (e.g.
“ILUVU” will be read like “I love you”) and
interpret the most usual emoticons (e.g.:)
will be read like “Smile”), adopted nowa-
days to write SMS texts.

66
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
play your favourite personal music collec-
tions.
The media player enables the following op-
erations:
❒ Digital audio playback - you can
play all your digital audio files ( .mp3 ,
.wma , .wav ) or play a customized
playlist ( .m3u or .wpl format).
❒ Audio file selection by category -
you can play all audio files of a certain cat-
egory, e.g.: album, artist or genre.
❒ Playback options - while playing tracks
you can select the following options: Play,
Stop, Next track, Previous track, Shuffle
and Loop track .
NOTE
The media player does not support audio
files compressed with other formats (e.g.:
.aac) and DRM (Digital Right Management)
protected audio files. Non-supported audio
files that may be present on the USB device
will be ignored.
To use the media player, you have to sim-
ply connect (directly or by an extension
lead) your USB device to the car USB port.
Fitting the electronic key into the ignition de-
vice, Blue&Me
™ Nav will start building
your media library. At the end of this oper-
ation you can surf the whole library and
browse through its categories as required us-
ing the buttons on the steering wheel or
voice commands. Blue&Me ™ Nav will
then play your selection via the car sound
system.
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 ve-
hicle’s reconfigurable multifunction display.
The navigation system allows you to:
❒ Enter a new destination - you can
enter the address of a desired destina-
tion, specifying the name of the desti-
nation 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 catego-
ry list (e.g. hotels, restaurants, airports,
railway stations, authorised workshops,
etc.).
❒ Trip information - Blue&Me ™ Nav
is able to provide estimated time of ar-
rival and distance to a preset destination.
It also allows you to display your car’s po-
sition (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.

ROAD SAFETY
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 consequences.
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 sys-
tem. 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 safe-
ty information carefully.
WARNING Operating certain parts of this system while driving can distract your attention away from the road, and pos-
sibly 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 impor-
tant 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.
GENERAL OPERATION
Voice Command Control: functions within the system may be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while driving al-
lows 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 re-
sponsibility 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 seri-
ously distract your attention and could cause an accident or other serious consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempt-
ing these operations.
WARNING
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 func-
tions shall only be used when driving conditions are secure and, if required, only when the car is stopped.

firmation message on the display. Pressing
ß
or
&
before the message is displayed
may cancel the pairing process. If the pair-

say “Welcome” immediately after con-
necting. This message will no longer be
heard at next pairing procedures.

1313
❒ Blue&Me ™ Nav will ask if you would
like to copy your paired phone phonebook
to Blue&Me ™ Nav. It is recommend-
ed to copy it. To start copying the phone-
book say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
❒ For certain mobile phones the phonebook
is not copied automatically, in this case
you must transfer the phonebook con-
tacts using your mobile phone keypad. If
Blue&Me ™ Nav asks you to do this,
then perform this procedure following the
instructions specific to your mobile phone

MAKING A PHONE CALL
Assume that “John” is one of the contacts
stored in your phonebook.
To call John, proceed as follows:
❒ Press the steering wheel button
ô
and
pronounce “Call John”.
❒ If the name is recognized, the system will
display the recognized contact’s infor-
mation on the display screen.
If there is just one phone number for John
in your phonebook, the system will ask if
you would like to call John. To start the call
say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
If John has several phone numbers, the sys-
tem will ask which phone number you would
like to call (e.g.: “Call John (at) Work
or (at) Home?”). Answer with the type
of required phone number (e.g.: “(at)
Home”).
If John has several phone numbers but the
“location” (i.e.: the type of phone number
like work, home, etc.) is missing, the sys-
tem will display the selected contact and a
list of related phone numbers. The hands-
free phone system will ask if you would like
to call the phone number displayed. To re-
spond with “yes”, pronounce “Yes”, oth-
erwise pronounce “No”. If this is the cor-
rect contact but the wrong number, say
“Forward” or “Backward” to navigate
to the phone number you’d like to call. To
call the displayed phone number, pronounce
“Call”. You can also surf the phone num-
ber list manually by pressing the buttons on

HOW TO USE
Blue&Me™ Nav
CONTROLS STEERING WHEEL
Buttons on the steering wheel (see fig. 1)
are used to perform functions on the hands-
free kit, activating voice recognition, using the
media player functions or selecting a
Blue&Me ™ Nav menu option.
Certain buttons have multiple functions
which depend on the current state of the sys-
tem.
The function chosen in response to a key
press is in some cases controlled by the du-
ration of the key press (short or long).

To repeat the last system voice announce-
ment, press
ô
for longer than 1 second or
press shortly
ô
and pronounce “Repeat”.
The system can issue voice announcements.
A voice announcement is a spoken message
initiated by the system. To cancel a voice an-
nouncement, press
&
, or press
ô
and pro-
nounce “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way communi-
cation/spoken exchange between system
and user. To initiate a voice interaction, press
ô
and issue a command. To interrupt a con-
versation and start a new one, press
ô
at
any time during the conversation and pro-
nounce a vocal command.
To stop an ongoing interaction press
&
. You
will hear a tone indicating when voice recog-
nition is deactivated.
The hands-free kit help option can speak the
list of commands available to you at any
time, depending on the keyword level that
you are currently on. To use the help sys-
tem, say “Help“ Listen to the list of cur-
rently available commands and decide on
which command you’d like to issue to the
system.
*
Valid means that the keyword pronounced is included in the Blue&Me ™ Nav “dictionary” and that can therefore be recognized by
the system for the concerned level.
VOICE COMMANDS
Voice commands can be pronounced by the
driver, which does not need to change
his/her normal driving position to be heard
by the system, since the microphone is prop-
erly located and oriented to this purpose.
Voice commands, which are words recog-
nized by the system, are identified as “key-
words”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes and
responds to a preset list of voice commands.
The list of available voice commands depends
on the keyword level that you are currently
on. The current list is always available by
pressing
ô
and pronouncing “Help” or, pro-
nouncing “Help” after whichever question
of the system. Blue&Me ™ Nav also rec-
ognizes personalized versions of voice com-
mands like the name of a contact in your
phonebook.
There is no voice training required for us-
ing voice commands with this system.
To issue a voice command to the system,
press
ô
and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then, speak
the command in your natural voice at a mod-
erate pace. When the system recognizes the
command, it will acknowledge your com-
mand by speaking a response or acting on
your command.
Voice commands are organized according to
three increasing levels: 1st level, 2nd level and
3rd level.
When a
valid * 1st level keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2nd level
keywords; when a valid 2nd level keyword
is pronounced, the system will activate 3rd
level keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1st level key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a keyword
leading to another level is given or the in-
teraction is interrupted; the same rule ap-
plies for the other lower levels (2nd and 3rd
level).
 For the list of available keywords, refer
to section VOICE COMMANDS (KEY-
WORDS) - SUMMARY.

NOTES
❒ Instructions concerning voice commands
are identified in the text by symbol
}
.
❒ After you press
ô
, if you do not issue 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 ques-
tion during a voice interaction. You will
hear a tone indicating when voice recog-
nition 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”.
Using voice recognition
The voice recognition system may occa-
sionally misrecognize a voice command. To
ensure that your voice commands are al-
ways recognized by the system, use the fol-
lowing guidelines:
❒ After pressing
ô
, pronounce the voice
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 re-
sponse to ensure that voice recognition
is active.
❒ If you want to pronounce a command
without waiting that the system has fin-
ished its announcement or question, you
can press again shortly
ô
to interrupt
what the system is saying and pronounce
your command.

DISPLAY
The different Blue&Me ™ Nav Main
Menu options are displayed on the instru-
ment panel multifunction display (see fig.
1).
The display shows the following information:
❒ Status information for the Bluetooth
®
wireless technology-enabled mobile
phone
❒ 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 com-
mands to prevent misunderstanding since
the system could recognize other words
(in addition to or different from your voice
command) if several people are speak-
ing.
❒ For Alfa 159: if your car has a con-
vertible top, close it before using voice re-
cognition.
❒ For Alfa Spider: for best operation,
it is recommended to close the folding
top.
NOTES
As concerns countries where the version in
native language is not available, voice recog-
nition of the different commands and phone-
book contacts could be difficult. You are
therefore recommended to adopt a pro-
nunciation/accent meeting the language
present on Blue&Me ™ Nav.
To change the voice recognition language con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services or con-
sult the dedicated site at www.alfaromeo.com.
