INTRODUCTION
The car is equipped with an infotelematic system designed according to the specific characteristics of the passenger
compartment, with a customised design that matches the style of dashboard.
The system is installed in an ergonomic position for the driver and passenger, and controls can be quickly located from the graphical display on
the front, making the device easy to use.
To increase protection against theft, the system has a protection system that only allows it to be used on the vehicle in which it was originally
fitted.
The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you read them carefully and always keep them to hand (for example, in the glove
compartment).
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used in order to meet FCC emission limits. IBM is not responsible for any radio or television
interference caused by using other than recommended cables and connectors or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized
changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Warning
Changes or modifications not expressly approve by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment
TIPS, CONTROLS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
TIPS
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system
functions before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system
carefully before setting off.
1) 2)
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic alerts
and news.
Care and maintenance
Observe the following precautions
to ensure the system is fully
operational:
1)
❒ the display lens should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects
which could damage its surface;
use a soft, dry anti-static cloth to
clean and do not press.
❒ never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the display lens.
❒ prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
Important
In the event of a fault, the system must
only be checked and repaired by a
Fiat Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low, the
display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
If the car is stopped for a while and the
external temperature is very high, the
system may go into “thermal
protection” mode, suspending
operation until the radio temperature
returns to acceptable levels.

DRAFT
The DAB/DAB+/DMB Digital Radio
function has been certified according to
the specifications of the "ARD" white
sticker, for Class A - Audio services.
ARD is a trademark of the Associazione
per la Radiofonia Digitale in Italia.
EXTERNAL AUDIO
SOURCES
Other electronic devices (e.g. iPod,
PDA, etc.) can be used on the car.
Some of them may cause
electromagnetic interference however.
Disconnect these devices if the system
performance worsens.
NOTE The system supports only
FAT32-formatted USB devices. The
system does not support devices with a
capacity higher than 64 GB.
ANTI-THEFT
PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the car.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
system will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret
code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will
show "Please enter Anti-Theft Code"
followed by the video page showing
a keypad to enter the secret code fig.
1.
The secret code is made up of four
digits, from 1 to 9: to insert the first digit
of the code, turn the "BROWSE/
ENTER" right knob and press to
confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the
"BROWSE/ENTER" right knob: the
system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Please
wait 30 minutes": the waiting time is
displayed. Once the text has
disappeared you can start the code
entering procedure again.
Car radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The car radio passport
shows the system model, serial number
and secret code.
In the case of loss of the car radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.

IMPORTANT Keep the car radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
IMPORTANT

necessary and safe. If you need to look
at the screen for a long time, pull over
to a safe place so as not to be
distracted while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in
the event of a fault. Otherwise the
system might be damaged. Contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible
to have the system repaired.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
When update software for the system is
available, it will be possible to
download it from the www.fiat.com (for
Italy) or www.fiat.com (for other
