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 car.

❒ 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.

❒ If your car has a convertible top, close

it before using voice recognition.

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.
