Using Voice Recognition - Alfa Romeo Blue&me User Manual

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
what the system is saying and pronounce
your command.
❒ 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
ô
to interrupt
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™.
To change the voice recognition language con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services or consult
