ECO mode FIAT DUCATO 250 2009 3.G Blue And Me Manual

The Blue&Me™system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the
steering wheel, on sound system 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 com-
mands 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 se-
curely using either voice commands or
buttons on the steering wheel under what-
ever driving condition without having to
take your eyes off the road or removing
your hands from the steering wheel, as re-
quired by current law regulations.
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your vehicle.
Hands-free kit with Bluetooth®wireless technology,
message reader and Media Player
Windows Mobile™-based Fiat Blue&Me™

plications expressly designed for use in the

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
properly located and oriented to this pur-
pose.
Voice commands, which are words rec-
ognized by the system, are identified as
“keywords”.
The hands-free phone system recognizes
and responds to a preset list of voice com-
mands. The list of available voice com-
mands depends on the keyword level that
you are currently on. The current list is al-
ways available by pressing
‘and pro-
nouncing “Help” or, pronouncing “Help”
after whichever question of the system.
Blue&Me™also recognizes personalized
versions of voice commands 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
‘and wait for the tone indicating
that voice recognition is active. Then,
speak the command in your natural voice
at a moderate pace. When the system rec-
ognizes the command, it will acknowledge
your command by speaking a response or
acting on your command.
Voice commands are organized according
to three increasing levels: 1
stlevel, 2ndlev-
el and 3rdlevel.
When a valid* 1
stlevel keyword is pro-
nounced, the system will activate 2ndlev-
el keywords; when a valid 2ndlevel key-
word is pronounced, the system will ac-
tivate 3
rdlevel keywords.
If the user pronounces a valid 1
stlevel key-
word, then the submenu relevant to that
command will remain active until a key-
word leading to another level is given or
the interaction is interrupted; the same
rule applies for the other lower levels (2
nd
and 3rdlevel).
ÂFor the list of available keywords, re-
fer to section VOICE COMMANDS
(KEYWORDS) - SUMMARY.To repeat the last system voice an-
nouncement, press
‘for longer than 1
second or press shortly
‘and pro-
nounce “Repeat”.
The system can issue voice announce-
ments. A voice announcement is a spoken
message initiated by the system. To can-
cel a voice announcement, press ESC
ˆ,
or press
‘and pronounce “Cancel”.
A voice interaction is a two-way commu-
nication/spoken exchange between system
and user. To initiate a voice interaction,
press
‘and issue a command. To inter-
rupt a conversation and start a new one,
press
‘at any time during the conver-
sation and pronounce a vocal command.
To stop an ongoing interaction press
ESC
ˆ. You will hear a tone indicating
when voice recognition is deactivated.The hands-free kit help option can speak
the list of commands available to you at
any time, depending on the keyword lev-
el that you are currently on. To use the
help system, say “HelpListen to the list
of currently available commands and de-
cide on which command you’d like to is-
sue to the system.
Adjust the volume of phone calls to a lev-
el that is comfortable and safe while the
vehicle is in motion. To adjust the default
volume of Blue&Me™, see paragraph
“EXTERNAL AUDIO VOL function” in
the sound system owner handbook. To
temporarily adjust the volume of the cur-
rent phone call, press VOL+or VOL–.
After the phone call is disconnected, the
volume will revert back to the original lev-
el.
You can press VOL+or VOL–also to
adjust the volume of the current
Blue&Me™voice announcement.
Please remember that to interrupt a voice
announcement, you can always press
‘at any time during a voice interaction and
give a new voice command.

Notes
❒Instructions concerning voice com-
mands are identified in the text by sym-
bol
}.
❒After you press ‘, if you do not is-
sue a voice command within a few sec-
onds, 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 indi-
cating when voice recognition is deac-
tivated.
❒When the system fails to recognize
your voice command, it will give you an-
other opportunity to re-pronounce the
voice command. If you are unsure of
whether the voice command is appro-
priate 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
always recognized by the system, use the
following guidelines:
❒After pressing ‘, pronounce the voice
command after the system plays a tone
indicating that voice recognition is ac-
tive.
❒After the system asks a question, wait
for one second before pronouncing the
response to ensure that voice recog-
nition 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
‘to in-
terrupt what the system is saying and
pronounce your command.
❒Speak at a normal volume.
❒Pronounce words clearly, in your nat-
ural voice at a moderate pace, without
stops.
❒If possible, try to minimize background
noise in the vehicle.
❒Ask the other passengers to keep silent
while you are pronouncing voice com-
mands to prevent misunderstanding
since the system could recognize oth-
er words (in addition to or different
from your voice command) if several
people are speaking.
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 lan-
guage present on Blue&Me
™.
To change the voice recognition language
contact Fiat Dealership or consult the ded-
icated site at www.fiat.com.
