OVERVIEW
FIAT’s Windows Mobile™ based BLUE&ME™ Hands-
Free Communication is a personal telematics system that
incorporates communication and entertainment applica-
tions that are expressly designed for use in your car.
The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package
installed in your car is equipped with integral hands-free
kit, message reader, and media player. BLUE&ME™ is
designed to support the future installation of additional
services.
The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication package
features integrated voice recognition, steering wheel con-
trols and a multifunction electronic display that allows
you to use your Bluetooth威wireless technology enabled
mobile phone without having to take your eyes off the
road. You can even keep your phone in a pocket or a bag.
You are not required to train the voice recognition system
to recognize your voice. The system is “speaker indepen-
dent” and performs equally well for different users.
With this system, you can also play your favorite music
stored on a USB stick or iPod威and select tracks and
playback modes with both voice commands or buttons
on the steering wheel.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept all interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration
The BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communication
Package
The basic characteristic of this hands-free package is
voice recognition with Bluetooth威wireless technology.
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 5

With this system you can make and receive calls safely
and securely using either voice commands or buttons on
the steering wheel, under any driving condition, without
having to take your eyes off the road or removing your
hands from the steering wheel, as required by current
legal regulations.
Bluetooth威wireless technology enables wireless connec-
tion between your mobile phone and the hands-free
package installed on your car.
To use the hands-free package, you need a Bluetooth威
wireless technology enabled mobile phone. This hands-
free package 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 instru-
ment panel multifunction display.
For further details on the mobile phones supported by
BLUE&ME™, refer to BLUE&ME™ SUPPORTED MO-
BILE PHONES.
To get started with BLUE&ME™ Hands-Free Communi-
cation with voice recognition, you have to simply pair
your Bluetooth威wireless technology enabled mobile
phone with the system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be performed only
once.
NOTE:
•During the mobile phone pairing procedure,
BLUE&ME™ attempts to detect a phone equipped
with Bluetooth威wireless technology within range and
then establishes the connection using a Personal Iden-
tification Number (PIN).
6 BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual

•Once your phone is paired, you have the option to
transfer your mobile phone contacts to the hands-free
package, to make a phone call either by using the
contacts list or directly pronouncing the phone num-
ber, to answer a call, and also answer a second
incoming phone call.
•To interact with BLUE&ME™ you can use either
buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands.
With voice recognition, you can perform system func-
tions 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™.
All the system functions are available within the
BLUE&ME™ Main Menu. 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 when travelling you
can only use voice commands.
The hands-free package 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 hands-free package phonebook).
•Digit dialing by voice – you can dial a phone number
by pressing the Windows icon button (VR button) on
the steering wheel and speaking the digits to be dialed.
•To call a SMS text sender –call the last SMS text
sender directly or the sender of an SMS message
received and stored in the BLUE&ME™ inbox.
BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 7

•To answer a call – you can answer an incoming call by
pressing the Phone/MENU button on the steering
wheel.
•Conference call – you can call another contact while
you are engaged in a phone conversation (Conference
Calling is only supported by a compatible mobile
phone).
•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 compatible mobile
phone.)
•Refusing an incoming call or ending a call – you can
refuse an incoming call or end a current call by
pressing the Phone Hang-up button on the steering
wheel.
With your mobile phone in the vehicle and the pairing
procedure complete, connect to your mobile phone to
BLUE&ME™ and 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’s speakers.
Message Reader
The BLUE&ME™ message reader enables automatic
reading, through the car sound system, of the SMS texts
you receive on your Bluetooth威wireless technology
enabled mobile phone that are received when the phone
is paired and connected to BLUE&ME™ system. The
message reader does not provide access to messages that
were received before you entered the car and connected
with the BLUE&ME™ system. Only a subset of abbre-
viations and emoticons are supported by the
BLUE&ME™ system.
8 BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual

NOTE: Not all mobile phones support the SMS text
message reader function or automatic phonebook trans-
fer via Bluetooth威. Consult www.fiatusa.com for further
information on the list of compatible mobile phones.
Message reader functions are managed by the control
buttons on the steering wheel or by the BLUE&ME™
voice commands.
The BLUE&ME™ 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威
wireless technology enabled mobile phone, with send-
er’s number/name; BLUE&ME™ will also ask
whether to read you the message that has been re-
ceived.
•To manage the list of SMS texts received on your
BLUE&ME™ paired mobile phone.
NOTE: Only messages that were received while the
mobile phone was connected to BLUE&ME™ will be

steering wheel or voice commands.
•To delete individual messages or the entire inbox using
the buttons on the steering wheel or voice commands.

BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 9

The BLUE&ME™ system can also recognize and read
abbreviations, if any (e.g., “ILUVU” will be read “I love
you”) and can interpret most common emoticons (e.g., :-)
will be read “Smile”), used today to write SMS texts.
Media Player
With the BLUE&ME™ media player you can play, via the
car sound system, digital audio files stored on a USB stick
or iPod威by simply connecting it to the USB port located
in the glove box of the car.
With this feature, you can play your favorite personal
music collections while you drive.
•iPod威player - refer to MEDIA PLAYER FUNCTIONS.
The media player feature allows the following opera-
tions:
•Digital audio playback - you can play all your digital
audio files (.mp3, .wma, .wav, .aac) or play a custom-
ized playlist (.m3u or .wpl format).
•Audio file selection by category - you can play all
audio files of a certain category, e.g., album, artist or
genre.
NOTE: Each audio file category must be tagged before
connecting to the BLUE&ME™ system. If no category is
tagged, the BLUE&ME™ system will index the song by
the song title.
•Playback options - while playing tracks you can select
the following options: Play, Stop, Next track, Previous
track, Shuffle and Repeat.
10 BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual

pressed with other formats 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 simply connect
(directly or by an extension lead) your USB stick or
iPod威to the car USB port. When the ignition key is
turned to ON, BLUE&ME™ will start building your
media library. At the end of this operation you can surf
the whole library and scroll its categories as desired
using the buttons on the steering wheel or voice
commands. BLUE&ME™ will then play your selection
via the car sound system.
Road Safety
WARNING!
•Operating certain parts of this system while driv-
ing can distract your attention away from the road,
and possibly cause an accident or other serious
consequences; for this reason certain functions are
disabled by the BLUE&ME™ system until driving
conditions 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 Manual”). Failing to follow precautions
found in this User’s Manual can lead to an accident
or other serious consequences.

BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual 11

WARNING! (Continued)
•Keep User’s Manual in the car: when kept in the
car, the User’s Manual 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 Manual and read its instructions and safety
information carefully.
•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.
General Operation
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Voice Command Control: some 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 hazard-
ous if your attention has been diverted away from
your driving task at a critical time.
(Continued)
12 BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual

WARNING! (Continued)
•Volume Setting: do not raise the volume exces-
sively. 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 rec-
ognition software is inherently a statistical process
which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility
to monitor any speech recognition functions in-
cluded in the system and address any errors.
•Distraction Hazard: many features may require
manual (non-verbal) setup. Attempting to perform
such set-up or entering 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 attempt-
ing these operations.
