steering FIAT 500 ABARTH 2013 2.G Owner's Manual

Pair Your Mobile Phone
• Press the VR steering wheel button and say “Settings” then, at the end of the
BLUE&ME™ message say “Pairing”.
• The system will show the phone pairing PIN number on the EVIC display. For the
next two steps, consult your mobile phone owner’s manual about Bluetooth®
pairing procedures for your phone.
• On your mobile phone, search for devices equipped with Bluetooth® wireless
technology (the setting on your mobile phone might be called Discover or New
Device). In this list you will find BLUE&ME™ (name identifying the BLUE&ME™
system on your car): select it.
• When prompted by the mobile phone, enter the PIN number shown on the instru-
ment panel display using your mobile phone keypad. If pairing is successful, the
system will say “Connecting” and at the end the display will show as confirmation
message, the ID of the paired mobile phone.
• It is essential to wait until you see this confirmation message on the display.
Pressing the PHONE/MENU button on the steering wheel or the MUTE/ESC but-
ton before the message is displayed may cancel the pairing process. If the pairing
process fails, an error message will be displayed: in this event repeat the pairing
procedure.
• At first pairing, BLUE&ME™ will say “Welcome” immediately after connecting.
This message will no longer be heard when your phone automatically connects to
the BLUE&ME™ system on future ignition cycles.
• BLUE&ME™ will ask if you would like to copy your paired phone phonebook to
BLUE&ME™. It is recommended to copy it. To start copying the phonebook say
“Yes”, otherwise say “No”.
• For certain mobile phones the phonebook is not copied automatically, in this case
you must transfer the phonebook contacts using your mobile phone keypad.
If BLUE&ME™ asks you to do this, then perform this procedure following the in-
structions specific to your mobile phone and press the PHONE/MENU button on
the steering wheel when you have finished.
Making a Phone Call
• Assume that “John Smith” is one of the contacts stored in your phonebook.
• To call John Smith, proceed as follows:
•Press the steering wheel button PHONE/MENU and pronounce “Call John Smith”.
• 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 Smith in your phonebook, the system
will ask if you would like to call John Smith. To start the call say “Yes”, otherwise
say “No”.
• If John Smith has several phone numbers, the system will ask which phone num-
ber you would like to call (e.g.: “Call John Smith (at) Work or (at) Home?”). An-
swer with the type of required phone number (e.g.: “(at) Home”).

• If John Smith has several phone numbers but the “location” (i.e.: the type of
phone number like work, home, etc.) is missing, the system will display the se-
lected contact and a list of related phone numbers on the instrument cluster dis-
play. The hands-free phone system will ask if you would like to call the phone
number displayed. To respond with yes, say “Yes”, otherwise say “No”. If this is
the correct contact but the wrong number, say “Forward” or “Backward” to navi-
gate to the phone number you’d like to call. To call the displayed phone number,
pronounce “Call”. You can also scroll through the phone number list manually by
pressing the buttons on the back of the steering wheel until you find the required
number. Then, press the PRESET UP/OK button on the rear of the steering
wheel to start the call.
• To end the phone call, press the PHONE HANG UP button on the steering wheel.
Media Player
• With the BLUE&ME™ 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 glove box of the car.
• The MEDIA PLAYER menu enables the following:
– Display tracks stored on your USB stick/iPod®.
– Play audio files stored on your USB stick/iPod®.
How To Connect The USB Stick/iPod® To BLUE&ME™
• To connect your USB stick/iPod® to BLUE&ME™, proceed as follows:
• Copy tracks on your USB stick/iPod® (BLUE&ME™ recognizes .wma, .mp3 and
.wav, .aac formats for audio files and .wpl and .m3u for playlists).
• USB devices without USB wire: just connect the USB stick/iPod® (directly or by
an extension lead) to the USB port on the car.
• USB stick/iPod® with USB wire: use the wire to connect the USB stick/iPod® to
the USB port on the car.
• Turn the ignition key to ON. BLUE&ME™ will start automatically to play your digi-
tal tracks selecting them from the library built at the moment the USB stick/iPod®
is connected.
• If AUTOPLAY is set to “ON”, BLUE&ME™ will start playback automatically.
• Refer to the iPod®/USB/MP3 CONTROL section in this manual and the
BLUE&ME™ User's Manual on the DVD for more details.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
•This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle
the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable;
however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experi-
ence reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your ve-
hicle may require towing.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
• This light indicates the ESC system has been turned off by the driver.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction
Indicator Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will
come on for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN posi-
tion. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.
If this light remains on, see your authorized studio as soon as possible to have
the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
• ESC Activation/Malfunction Light can blink during a ESC or TC intervention.
TTC (Tire Transfer Control)
• The TTC system uses the brakes to prevent unwanted wheelspin during corner-
ing, to maximize acceleration and minimize understeering during aggressive driv-
ing. This feature is active in all modes. While TTC is active, the “ESC” lamp in the
instrument cluster may flash.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
With Ignition Key
Manual Transmission
• Vehicle can be flat towed (all four wheels on the ground) with the transmission in
NEUTRAL.
• Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
• Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
NOTE:If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.), the keymust be in the ON/RUN position. Make certain the transmission remains in NEUTRAL.
Without The Ignition Key
• Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the
OFF/LOCK position. A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear
wheels are raised. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmission dam-
age. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the
ON/RUN position.
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing. When securing
the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension com-
ponents. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
• In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication net-
work remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of
the event the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) will determine whether to have
the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or
until the ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a
rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around
the front wheels. Then shift back and forth between 1st gear and REVERSE. Us-
ing minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without
spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control (ESC), turnthe system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheat-
ing and failure. Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize
overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged ef-
forts to free a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between 1st and REVERSE, do
not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may
result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure some-
one. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you
are stuck. Do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, at least monthly and inflate to the rec-
ommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warn-
ings and instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,
affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-
inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking,
component separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to
cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage
that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering prob-
lems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated
tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of ve-
hicle control.
