TURIN, Italy --(BUSINESS WIRE)--02.03.2010--

Fiat Group Automobiles and TomTom will present their latest Blue&Me–TomTom
system, developed especially for Alfa Romeo, at the 80th International
Motor Show in Geneva, an event that has become a traditional showcase for
innovation in the automotive industry. The first model to be equipped with
the new system will be the Alfa Romeo MiTo, followed by the Alfa Romeo
Giulietta, the long-awaited model due to make its global debut at Geneva.

Blue&Me–TomTom is a fully integrated infotainment system that lets you
manage telephone, navigation and information functions on a practical
colour touch-screen. The system developed for the Alfa Romeo range will
feature TomTom’s world class navigation technology. The seamless
integration has been supported by Magneti Marelli.

As a result of this partnership, customers can enjoy a beautifully
ergonomically designed in-dash system, backed up by TomTom’s navigation
technology. This also ensures a safe driving experience. The display unit
of the system is located in the centre of the dashboard making it easy to
reach and to see. Additionally, all system functions can be accessed using
either steering wheel controls or voice commands. The great flexibility of
the system, the ease with which it can be updated and the many ways in
which the TomTom HOME* for Alfa Romeo application can be personalised,
provide conclusive proof of the advanced technology that has gone into
providing a brand new user experience.

In addition to all the standard navigation functions, the Blue&Me–TomTom
system for the Alfa Romeo MiTo displays and manages vehicle information. A
“Fuel Efficiency” function monitors driving style in real time, in order to
optimise fuel consumption. The system displays all trip information,
including average speed, fuel consumption and mileage driven. Additionally,
it shows the nearest fuel/LPG filling station and the nearest Alfa Romeo
service centre. In addition, the new system includes the latest TomTom
functions including “IQ Routes”, which lets you find the fastest route for
your journey based on date and time of travel, calculated using a database
of trillions of speed measurements.

More detailed information on the Alfa Romeo MiTo’s Blue&Me–TomTom system
will be made available at the International Motor Show in Geneva between
the 4th and the 14th of March 2010. Special press days will be held on the
2nd and 3rd of March.
