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!

The information in this publication is provided by way of example. Fiat Group
Automobiles S.p.A.can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this
publication at any time, for technical or marketing purposes. For further information,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

275

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.

Care and maintenance

Observe the following precautions to ensure the
system is fully operational:

❒ the display is sensitive to scratching, liquids and

detergents. The display should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects which could
damage its surface. Do not press on the display
when cleaning it.

❒ prevent any liquid from entering the system: this

could be damaged beyond repair.

276

WARNING

If the volume is too loud this can be

dangerous.Adjust the volume so that you
can still hear background noises (e.g. horns,
ambulances, police vehicles, etc.).

Reception conditions

Reception conditions change constantly while driving.
Reception may be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges, or when you are far
away from the broadcaster.

IMPORTANT The volume may be increased when
receiving traffic alerts and news.

Only clean the front panel and the display
with a soft, clean, dry, ant i-static cloth.

Cleaning and polishing products may
damage the surface. Do not use alcohol or similar
products to clean the panel or the display.

Important

In the event of a failure, the system should only be
checked and repaired at 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 outside
temperature is very high, the system may go into
“thermal protection” mode, suspending operation
until the temperature in the passenger compartment
returns to acceptable levels.

CD

Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may cause
skipping during playback and poor sound quality.
Follow these tips for optimum playback conditions:

❒ only use CDs with the following mark:

❒ never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic,

thinner or spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;

❒ after listening to them place CDs back in their

cases to avoid them being damaged;

❒ do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high

temperatures or moisture for long periods;

❒ do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and

do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;

❒ never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,

deformed, etc. Their use could cause damage the
player or make it malfunction.

To achieve the best quality audio reproduction we
recommend the use of original CD supports. Correct
operation is not guaranteed when CD-R/RW media
are used that were not correctly burnt and/or with a
maximum capacity above 650 Mb.

❒ clean every CD thoroughly removing any

fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by
the circumference and clean them from the centre
towards the edge;

277

IMPORTANT Do not use commercially available
protective sheets for CDs or discs with stabilisers as
they could get stuck in the internal mechanism and
damage the disc.

IMPORTANT If a copy-protected CD is used, it may
take a few seconds before the system starts to play
it. The CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The presence of copy protection is
often in small letters or may be difficult to read on
the cover of the actual CD and it may say something
like, for example, "COPY CONTROL", "COPY
PROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED
ON A PC/MAC" or identified through the use of
symbols, such as, for example:

IMPORTANT If a multisession disc is loaded, only the
first session will be played.

the instructions;

❒ if possible, try and keep the noise in the passenger

compartment to a minimum;

❒ before giving voice commands, ask other

passengers not to talk. This is to prevent
misunderstanding since the system may recognise
other words (in addition to or different from your
voice command) if several people are speaking;

❒ for optimum operation it is advisable to close the

windows and the sun roof (for versions/markets,
where provided) to avoid external interference.
