Cybersecurity

Your vehicle may be a connected
vehicle and may be equipped with both
wired and wireless networks. These
networks allow your vehicle to send and
receive information. This information
allows systems and features in your
vehicle to function properly.

Your vehicle may be equipped with
certain security features to reduce the
risk of unauthorized and unlawful
access to vehicle systems and wireless
communications. Vehicle software
technology continues to evolve over
time and FCA US LLC, working with its
suppliers, evaluates and takes
appropriate steps as needed. Similar to
a computer or other devices, your
vehicle may require software updates to
improve the usability and performance
of your systems or to reduce the
potential risk of unauthorized and
unlawful access to your vehicle
systems.

The risk of unauthorized and unlawful
access to your vehicle systems may still
exist, even if the most recent version
of vehicle software (such as Connect
software) is installed.

Warning!

It is not possible to know or to predict
all of the possible outcomes if your
vehicle’s systems are breached. It may be
possible that vehicle systems, including
safety related systems, could be impaired
or a loss of vehicle control could occur that
may result in an accident involving serious
injury or death.

ONLY insert media (e.g., USB or SD
card) into your vehicle if it came from
a trusted source. Media of unknown origin
could possibly contain malicious software,
and if installed in your vehicle, it may
increase the possibility for vehicle systems
to be breached.

As always, if you experience unusual
vehicle behavior, take your vehicle to your
nearest authorized dealer immediately.

Note:

FCA US LLC or your dealer may
contact you directly regarding software
updates.

To help further improve vehicle
security and minimize the potential risk
of a security breach, vehicle owners
should:

– Routinely check

www.driveuconnect.com/

software-update

(U.S. Residents) or

http://www.driveuconnect.ca/

support/system_updates

(Canadian
Residents) to learn about available
Uconnect software updates.

– Only connect and use trusted

media devices (e.g. personal mobile
phones or USBs).

Privacy of any wireless and wired
communications cannot be assured.
Third parties may unlawfully intercept
information and private communications
without your consent.

OPERATING TIPS
FOR THE AUDIO
SYSTEM

Warning!

ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on
the wheel. You have full responsibility
and assume all risks related to the use of
the features and applications in this vehicle.
Only use these features and applications
when it is safe to do so. Failure to do
so may result in an accident involving
serious injury or death.

Note: For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of
the vehicle including car horns and par­ticularly emergency vehicle sirens.

RADIO RECEPTION

AM Characteristics

AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce
off the ionosphere.

Therefore, they can reach longer
distances than FM signals.

Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.

FM Characteristics

An FM broadcast range is usually about
25– 30 mi (40—50 km) from the source.
Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels,
stereo FM has even less range
than monaural (non-stereo) FM.

Signals from an FM transmitter are
similar to beams of light because they

FIAT Connect 7.0

do not bend around corners, but they
do reflect.

Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.

Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days
may provide better reception than clear
days.

Multipath Noise

Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive
both direct signal and reflected signal at
the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as
a broken sound or a distortion. This
problem may also be encountered
when in close proximity to the
transmitter.

Flutter/Skip Noise

Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in
valleys, between tall buildings,
mountains, and other obstacles. When
a vehicle passes through such an
area, the reception conditions may
change suddenly, resulting in annoying
noise.

Weak Signal Noise

In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance
from the transmitter. Reception in such
fringe areas is characterized by sound
breakup.

Strong Signal Noise

This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are
extremely strong, so the result is noise
and sound breakup at the radio
receiver.

Station Drift Noise

When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may
be temporarily lost and the second
station picked up. At this time, there will
be some noise from this disturbance.

OPERATING TIPS
FOR MP3

MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3,
which is standardized voice
compression established by the ISO (*)
working group (MPEG).

Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth
of the source data size.

This unit plays files with the extension
(.mp3) as MP3 files.

(*) International Organization for
Standardization

Note:

Do not use an audio file extension
on files other than audio files. In
addition, do not change the audio file
extension. Otherwise, the unit will
not recognise the file correctly resulting
in noise or a malfunction.

which is standardized voice compression
established by the ISO (*) working group
(MPEG).

Audio data can be created and stored at
a higher compression ratio than MP3.

This unit plays files with the extensions
.aac/.m4a/.wav (**) as the AAC files.

(*) International Organization for
Standardization

Note:

Do not use an audio file extension
on files other than audio files. In
addition, do not change the audio file
extension. Otherwise, the unit will
not recognise the file correctly resulting
in noise or a malfunction.

AAC files written under specifications
other than the indicated specification

FIAT Connect 7.0

may not play normally or files or folder
names may not display correctly.

The file extension may not
be provided depending on the
computer operating system, version,
software, or settings. In this case, add
the file extension “.aac ”, “.m4a”, or
“.wav” to the end of the file name, and
then write it to the memory.

OPERATING TIPS
FOR OGG

OGG is the audio compression format
for Xiph. Org Foundation.

Audio data can be created and stored
at a higher compression ratio than
MP3.

This unit plays files with the extension
(.ogg) as OGG files.

Note:

Do not use an audio file extension
on files other than audio files. In
addition, do not change the audio file
extension. Otherwise, the unit will
not recognise the file correctly resulting
in noise or a malfunction.

OGG files written under
specifications other than the indicated
specification may not play normally
or files or folder names may not display
correctly.

The file extension may not be
provided depending on the computer

HD RADIO

What is HD Radio Technology
And How Does It Work?

HD Radio Technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio.

Your radio product has a special receiver
which allows it to receive digital
broadcasts (where available) in addition
to the analog broadcasts it already
receives. Digital broadcasts have better
sound quality than analog broadcasts as
digital broadcasts provide free, crystal
clear audio.

For more information, and a guide to
available radio stations and programming,
please visit www.hdradio.com.

Benefits of HD Radio
Technology

Information

The song title, artist name, album name
and genre will appear on the screen

FIAT Connect 7.0

when available by the radio station.

Multicast

On the FM radio frequency most digital
stations have “multiple” or supplemental
programs on each FM station.

Listening To HD Radio
Technology

If HD Radio icon turns on by selecting a
radio station which is an HD Radio
broadcasting station, the analog
broadcast is switched to an HD Radio
broadcast automatically after a few
seconds and then received.

If the broadcast is stopped and
changed to an analog broadcast, press
down the HD Radio icon to turn off
the HD Radio.

Multicast channel selection (FM)

If multi-cast channels are available for
an HD Radio broadcast currently being
received, the multi-cast channel list is
displayed. Select the desired radio
station.

Note:

If an analog broadcast is received
once and is received while HD1 is
selected, the audio unit switches to the
station automatically.

When the HD Radio icon is
illuminated, there could be a noticeable
difference in sound quality and volume
when a change from digital to analog
signals occurs. If the sound quality and

volume become noticeably diminished
or cut off, select the HD Radio icon
to turnoff HD Radio. The Icon will not
illuminate.

Once an analog broadcast is
received when HD1 is selected from
the Favorite channels, it is switched to
HD Radio automatically. If the radio
reception conditions are poor, or HD is
off, switching to HD Radio broadcasts
is not possible.

When an HD specialty channel
(HD2 to HD8) is selected from the
Favorite channels, “Signal Lost” is
displayed and no audio is output until
HD Radio is received. If the radio
reception conditions are poor, “Signal
Lost” continues to be displayed.

If the HD Radio icon is not
illuminated, information such as song
titles of the station are received,
however, the audio output is analog.

Reference Guide

Smart Zone

Smart Zoom provides much more than
just a usual automatic zoom feature:

While following a route: when
approaching a turn, it will zoom in and
raise the view angle to let you easily
recognize your maneuver at the next
junction. If the next turn is at a distance,
it will zoom out and lower the view
angle to be flat so you can see the road
in front of you.

While driving without an active route:
smart Zoom will zoom in if you drive
slowly and zoom out when you drive at
high speed.

Off: turns the Smart Zoom setting off.

Route Calculation And Recalcu­lation

The navigation system calculates the
route based on your preferences:

Route planning methods:

– Fast: gives a quick route if you can

travel at or near the speed limit on
all roads.

– Short: gives a route that has the

smallest total distance of all
possible routes.

88

– Economical: this method combines

the merits of the Fast and Short
routes. The navigation system
makes a calculation for the Fast
route, but it also includes other
roads in the calculation in
consideration of fuel economy.

– Easy: results in a route with fewer

turns and no difficult maneuver.
With this option, you can make the
navigation system take, for
example, the expressway instead of
a series of smaller roads or streets.

Road type used for route plan:

–

–

–

–

Whenever data exists, route calculation
takes into account historical traffic
data for the given day of week and time
of day (see “Historical traffic”). If the
setting for Traffic Settings is valid,
Real-time Traffic events are taken into
account and the route is largely
modified. The navigation system

automatically recalculates the route if
you deviate from the proposed itinerary
or if a newly received Traffic event
concerns a part of the recommended
route.

Note: Some functions are not available
depending on some countries and
regions.

Road Safety Cameras And
Other Proximity Alert Points
(Only Some Countries And
Regions)

There is a special proximity warning for
road safety cameras (like speed or
red light cameras) and other proximity
alert points (like schools or railroad
crossings).

The application can war n you when you
approach road safety cameras like
speed cameras or dangerous areas like
school zones or railroad crossings.
You can set up the different alert types
individually in Warning Settings.

The following alert types are available:

Audio warning: when approaching
one of these points, a beep sound
(regular sound) can be used or the type
of warning can be announced (TTS),
and an extra alert can warn you if you
exceed the given speed limit while
approaching the point.

Always: the type of the alert point, its
distance, and the related speed limit
appear on the Map screen while you
are approaching one of these points.

For some of the alert points, the
enforced or expected speed limit is
available. For these points, the audio
alert can be different if you are below or
above the given speed limit.

Setting can be selected using Warning
Settings:

Only when speeding: the audio alert
is only played when you exceed the
given speed limit.

When approaching: the audio alert is
always played when approaching one
of these alert points. To draw your
attention, the alert may differ if
you exceed the speed limit.

Note: The warning for road safety cam­eras is disabled when you are in a
country where road safety camera
warnings are prohibited. However, you
must ensure on your own liability that
using this feature is legal in the country
where you intend to use it.

Traffic Information In Route
Planning — If Equipped

The recommended route is not always
the same between two points. Offline
historical traffic information (historical
speed information or traffic patterns)
can be taken into account in the route
calculation based on the time of day
and the day of week whenever suitable
data exists. In addition, real-time traffic
information can help you avoid current
traffic events like temporary road
closures or a traffic jam caused by an
accident. Both functions are subject to
data availability.

Select Traffic after selecting
MAP screen to display the historical
traffic information on the map.

A 2D map is displayed with road
segments colored by the density of the
traffic in the given period. The current
information is shown when you open

Historical Traffic

If historical traffic information is available
with the map data, the navigation
system can use it when planning a
route. In normal cases, these statistics
help you avoid usual traffic jams on
the given day of week in the given hour
but in some cases, like on public
holidays that fall on normal weekdays,
they can be misleading. You can
disable this feature in Traffic Settings.

Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

TMC (Traffic Message Channel) can
provide your navigation system with the
real-time status of the traffic. Route
calculation can avoid road blocks
or unexpected traffic jams caused by
an accident.

Note: This feature is available only if
your hardware supports TMC.

Note: TMC is not a global service. It
may not be available in your country or
region. Ask your local dealer for cover­age details.

The navigation system may contain the
TMC receiver that is needed to receive
Traffic events.

Ask your local dealer if public Traffic data
is broadcast at your location. If so, the
navigation system automatically takes
into account the traffic events received.
You do not need to set anything in the
program.

The receiver will automatically search for
TMC data, and the decoded information
will immediately be used in route
planning. When the navigation system
receives traffic information that may
affect your route, the program will warn
you that it is recalculating the route,
and navigation will continue with a new
route that is optimal considering the
most up-to-date traffic conditions. To

fine-tune this recalculation, you can set
the minimum delay that can trigger a
route recalculation, or you can instruct
the navigation system to have you
confirm the new recommended route
before it takes effect. You can do these in
Traffic Settings.

A special icon ( ) is displayed on the
Map screen to show you whether
traffic events are received. The icon
shows the status of the traffic receiver
when there are no traffic events on your
route, otherwise it shows the type of
the next traffic event on your route.

Road segments affected by traffic
events are displayed with an alternate
color on the map, and small symbols

event:

Online Traffic Information

Unlike historical traffic information,
online traffic can provide you with the
real time status of the traffic. Route

or unexpected traffic jams caused by
an accident.

Note: This feature needs an active Inter­net connection.

The application automatically takes into

The route calculation can be optimized for different situations. See
below for details.

You might need to avoid expressway if you are towing another
vehicle.

Charge roads are pay roads where you can purchase a pass or
vignette to use the road for a longer period of time. They can be
enabled or disabled separately from toll roads.

The navigation system includes toll roads (pay roads where there is a
per-use charge) in the routes by default. If you disable toll roads, the
navigation system plans the best toll-free route.

The navigation system includes ferries in a planned route by default.
However, a map does not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporary ferries. You might also need to pay a fare
on ferries.

Setting in which routes with carpool lanes can be created or not
created.

The navigation system excludes unpaved roads by default: unpaved
roads can be in a bad condition and usually you cannot reach the
speed limit on them.

A border crossing may be a shorter route depending on the route.
For this function, you can select whether or not to cross a border
when planning the route.

and the needed information exists, the map is replaced with a 3D
view of the junction. You can turn this feature on or let the map be
displayed for the whole route.

When entering tunnels, the surface roads and buildings can cause
problems visually. This feature shows a generic picture of a tunnel
instead of the map. A top down overview of the tunnel and remaining

GLOSSARY

Active Route

The currently navigated route.
Whenever a destination is set, the route
is active until you delete it or reach
your destination.

Town Center

The town center is not the geometric
center of the town but an arbitrary point
the map creators have chosen. In
towns and villages, it is usually the most
important intersection; in larger cities,
it is one of the important intersections.

Color Scheme

The navigation system has different
color schemes for daytime and
nighttime which can be selected as
desired.

One daytime scheme and one nighttime
scheme is always selected for the map
and for the menus.

FIAT Connect 7.0

The navigation system uses them when
it switches from day to night and
back.

GPS Accuracy

Several factors have impact on the
deviation between your real position
and the one given by the GPS device.

For example, signal delay in the
ionosphere or reflecting objects near
the GPS device have a different and
varying impact on how accurately the
GPS device can calculate your position.

Map

The navigation system works with
digital maps which are not simply the
computerized versions of traditional
paper maps. Similarly to paper road
maps, the 2D mode of digital maps
show you streets, roads, and elevation
by colors.

In 3D mode, you can see the altitude
differences, for example valleys and
mountains, elevated roads, and in
selected cities 3D landmarks and 3D
buildings are also displayed.

You can use digital maps interactively:
you can zoom in and out (increase
or decrease the scale), you can tilt them
up and down, and rotate them left and
right.

In GPS-supported navigation, digital
maps facilitate route planning.

North-Up Map Orientation

In North-up mode the map is rotated so
its top always faces North. This is the
orientation for example in Find on Map.

Road Safety Camera

This function is not available in some
countries and regions.

Special alert points for speed, red light
or bus lane cameras. Different data
sources are available. You can
configure the navigation system to warn
you when you approach one of these
cameras.

Detecting the location of Road Safety
Cameras is prohibited in certain
countries.

It is the sole responsibility of the driver
to check whether this feature can be
used during the trip.

The software is capable of showing and
warning for more than just cameras.
Various other types of proximity alert
points like school zones and railway
crossings are also available.

98

Route

A sequence of maneuver (for example,
turns and roundabouts) to reach the
destination. The route contains one
starting point and one or more
destinations.

Track-Up Map Orientation

In Track-up mode the map is rotated so
its top always points in the current
driving direction. This is the default
orientation in 3D map view mode.

Vehicle Marker

The current position is indicated by a
blue arrow on the map. The direction
the blue arrow is pointed indicates the
current heading.
