ADVICE
ROAD SAFETY
You are recommended to learn how
to use the different functions of the
CONNECT Nav+ and in particular of
the radio (e.g. storing stations) before
starting to drive.
RECEPTION CONDITIONS
Reception conditions change constantly when driving. Reception can be
disturbed by the presence of mountains, buildings, bridges particularly
when far away from the broadcaster
received.
IMPORTANT When receiving
traffic information the volume might
be higher than normal.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The structure of the CONNECT
Nav+ ensures long years of operation
with no need for particular maintenance. In the event of a fault, contact
Fiat Dealership.
Some care must however be taken
to ensure the complete efficiency of
the CONNECT Nav+:
– the monitor is sensitive to scratching, liquid detergents and UV rays;
– liquids that penetrate inside may
damage the device irreparably.
Clean the front panel and display only using a soft, dry antistatic cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may
damage the surface.
AAAADDDDVVVVIIIICCCCEEEE,,,, CCCCOOOONNNNTTTTRRRROOOOLLLLSSSS
AAAANNNNDDDD GGGGEEEENNNNEEEERRRRAAAALLLL IIIINNNNFFFFOOOORRRRMM
MMAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
Too high a volume when dri-
ving can put the driver’s life
at risk and that of other people.
Therefore the volume should always
be adjusted in such a way that it is
always possible to hear the noises of
the surrounding environment (e.g.
horns, ambulance, police sirens, etc.).
WARNING
6
CONNECT NAV+
IMPORTANT NOTES
– In the event of a fault the CONNECT Nav+ should be checked and
repaired only at Fiat Dealership.
– In case of particularly low temperatures the display might take a certain
time to reach the optimum brightness.
– In the case of prolonged parking
with high outside temperature, the automatic thermal protection of the system may come into action suspending operation until the passenger compartment temperature falls to acceptable levels.
COMPACT DISC
If a Compact Disc is used on the
sound system, remember that the
presence of dirt or marks on Compact
Discs may cause skipping when playing
and poor sound quality. The same happens if Compact Discs are bent by accident.
IMPORTANT Never use 8 cm audio or MP3 CDs, even with the special adapter, since this format damages
the system.
To obtain optimum playing conditions we give the following advice:
– Only use Audio Compact Discs
with the brand:
– Carefully clean all Compact Discs
of any fingerprints and dust using a soft
cloth. Support Compact Discs on the
edges and clean from the centre outwards.
Be careful not to knock the
display with pointed or
hard objects and avoid
touching with the hands. Do not
press on the display when cleaning.
7
CONNECT NAV+
No
– Never use chemical products for
cleaning (e.g. spray cans, antistatics or
thinners) as they might damage the
surface of Compact Discs.
– After listening to them put Compact Discs back in their boxes to avoid
marking or scoring which could cause
skipping when playing.
– Do not expose Compact Discs to
direct sunlight, high temperatures or
damp for prolonged lengths of time to
prevent them from bending.
– Do not stick labels or write on the
recorded surface of Compact Discs.
To remove a Compact Disc from its
container, press on the centre and
raise the disc holding carefully from
the edges.
Always hold a Compact Disc by the
edge. Never touch the surface.
To remove fingerprints and dust, use
a soft cloth starting from the centre of
the Compact Disc towards the circumference.
Proper way to hold
the compact disc
Removing the disc
New discs may be rough around the
edges. When using these discs the
player might not work or the sound
might skip. To remove roughness
from the edge of a disc use a ball-point
pen, etc.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
IMPORTANT Do not use the protective sheets for CDs in commerce
or discs with stabilisers, etc. as they
might get stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.
8
CONNECT NAV+
Do not use solvents such as stain removers, antistatic sprays or thinners
in commerce for cleaning Compact
Discs.
Do not use highly scratched, cracked
or distorted Compact Discs. This
could damage the player or prevent
it from working properly.
No

Notes about Compact Discs
Do not stick labels on the surfaces of
a Compact Disc or write on the surface with pens or pencils.
No
IMPORTANT Should copy-protected CDs be used, then, few seconds may be required before the system starts to play them. Moreover,
due to the proliferation of always new
and different protection methods, it is
not guaranteed that the CD player can
play whatever protected disc. Copy
protection is often indicated on the
CD cover in small letters or hard to
read characters. Usually it is indicated by writings like: “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”,
“THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED
ON A PC/MAC”, or it is identified by
symbols like:
Protected discs (and their cover)
very often are not marked with the audio CD identification symbol:

GENERAL
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR
USE AND ROAD SAFETY
The CONNECT Nav+ with Radio/Telephone/Navigator/On-board
computer makes it possible to easily
control the main functions of the car.
To avoid creating dangerous situations for yourself and others in use of
the system, please pay attention to the
following points:
– the CONNECT Nav+ must be
used keeping full control of the car;
in the case of doubt in the use of the
functions, it is necessary to stop before performing the various operations;
– use of the cell phone is prohibited
near explosive substances.
The navigation system allows you to
reach your destination, indicating each
route change stored on the navigation
CD-ROM. In fact, in calculating the
route, the system takes into account
of all the information stored concerning the roads, advising the best route.
However it cannot take account of the
traffic, sudden interruptions or any
other inconvenience.
16
CONNECT NAV+
SYSTEM POWER ON
The CONNECT Nav+ can be
switched on according to two different methods:
automatic switching on with ignition key to ON;
manual switching on:
– by button 17-fig. 1;
In carrying out any manoeuvre it is
always necessary to follow the rules of
the road, regardless of the advice given by the navigation system. If you
leave the suggested route, the navigation system will calculate a new one
and suggest it to you.
The navigation system
helps the driver while driving by suggesting, vocally and
graphically, the best route to be followed to reach the preset destination. The suggestions given by the
navigation system do not exempt
the driver from full responsibility
due to driving behaviour and compliance with road and other traffic
regulations. The responsibility for
road safety always and anyway lies
with the car’s driver.
WARNING
17
CONNECT NAV+
Automatic switching on
Turning the ignition key to ON, will

PROTECTION AGAINST
THEFT
Power-on authentication
procedure
CONNECT Nav+ is protected
against theft and unauthorised installation by means of an “authentication
procedure”.
This kind of verification involves
Body Computer Node (by means of
messages exchanged on car network)
and is performed at every power-on.
The process will not be actuated if
the radio navigation system is turned
on by means of key 17-fig. 1. In this
case, the radio navigation system will
operate normally, without carrying out
the authentication procedure.
fig. 4
F0Q3001g
20
CONNECT NAV+
With ignition key at ON, if authentication fails, system starts working as
usual, but the user is asked to enter the
4-digit “Master Code” to allow access
to the standard functions.
Master code is unique for each CONNECT Nav+, and is stored in its memory and can not be reset.
To enter the code, access is made possible to a screen fig. 5 which acts in the
same way as the screen for the telephone PIN entry request.
Only the code entry numeric keys, key
17-fig. 1 and a few audio control keys
will be active.
After the code is entered, a second
panel notices the user that the authentication procedure is in progress, fig. 6.
In case the correct code is provided,
the system is fully enabled. On the contrary, if a wrong code is entered, screen
is cleared and previous box is shown
again with the following string:
“Incorrect code entered. Enter master code or turn off system with pushbutton 17-fig. 1.
There is no upper limit to the number of wrong codes that can be entered.

TA - TRAFFIC INFORMATION
Certain stations in the FM band
(FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMAST) are also enabled to broadcast information
about the conditions of the traffic. In
this case the displays shows the abbreviation “TP”.
To turn on/off the TA function (Traffic Announcement) for traffic bulletins,
press briefly one of the keypad keys
16-fig. 1 set near the icon key TA.
When the TA function is on, the display shows “TA” and the wording on
the icon key is darkened.
The listening conditions and information shown on the display may be
the following:
– TA and TP: you are tuned to a station that broadcasts traffic information
and the traffic information function is
on
– TP: you are tuned to a station that
broadcasts traffic information but the
traffic information function is off
– TA: the traffic information function
is on but you are tuned to a station
that does not broadcast traffic information
– TA and TP not shown on the display: you are tuned to a station that
does not broadcast traffic information
and the traffic information function is
off.
With the TA function on it is possible:
1) to receive traffic information also if the CD/CDC/MP3 player is
working;
2) to receive traffic information at a
preset minimum level also with the radio volume down completely.
Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:
– choose the required frequency
band (FM1, FM2, FM3, FMAST, LW,
MW or AMAST) pressing repeatedly
the “SRC” key 2-fig. 1;
– press briefly one of the station
storage keys on the keypad 16-fig. 1
numbered from “1” to “6” at the bottom of the main screen.
In the FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMAST
bands, if reception is poor and the
“AF-Alt. Freq.” alternative frequency
seek function is on, a station with the
strongest signal that is broadcasting
the same programme is automatically
sought.

The operations to be carried out for
each of the above two conditions are
listed below.
1) If you wish to receive traffic information while listening to a CD, before inserting the CD, tune to a station enabled to broadcast traffic information (TP) and turn the TA function on. If, while playing the CD, this
station broadcasts traffic information,
CD playing will be temporarily
stopped and resumed automatically at
the end of the message.
If the CD player is already operating and, at the same time, you wish to
receive traffic information, actuating
the TA function will cause the radio to
tune to the latest station listened to
on the FM band (if the station controls
the “TP”); otherwise, automatic
search will be started to find a station
that controls the “TP”.
2) To receive traffic information
though not listening to the radio:
– turn on the TA function, so that
the display shows the abbreviation
“TA”;
– tune to a station enabled to broadcast traffic information so that “TP”
is shown on the display;
This way, if that station broadcasts
traffic information, this will be heard
at a minimum predefined volume.
A telephone call has higher priority
than traffic message.
IMPORTANT In certain countries,
radio stations exist which though the
TP function is active (the display shows
“TP”), do not broadcast traffic information.
If the radio is operating on the AM
band, selecting the FM band will cause
the latest listened station to be tuned.
If the selected station does not send
traffic information (the “TP” writing
does not appear on the display), automatic search will be started to seek
an enabled station to which the radio
will tune.
If the volume is changed during a traffic bulletin the value is not shown on
the display and the new value is kept
only for the bulletin in progress.

– With AF OFF the radio will not
tune the strongest station automatically and it will have to be found manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn on/off this function, press
briefly one of the keypad keys 16-fig.
1 set near the icon key AF.
When the AF function is on, the
display shows “AF” and the wording
on the icon key is darkened.
The RDS channel name (if available)
is still shown on the display.
“FREQUENCY” FUNCTION
The “Frequency” function enables to
tune the required radio station by
turning knob 15-fig. 1 clockwise or
counter-clockwise.
To turn the “Frequency” function on,
turn knob 15-fig. 1 to select the cor-
responding icon key and then press it.
To turn this function off, press again
knob 15-fig. 1.
AF - SEEKING ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
– AF ON: alternative frequency
search on;
– AF OFF: alternative frequency
search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two cases may occur:
– With AF ON the RDS system activates automatic tuning of the optimum frequency of the station chosen,
with the stations enabled, therefore
the radio is automatically tuned to the
station with the strongest signal that
is broadcasting the same programme.
During the journey it will thus be possible to continue listening to the station chosen without having to change
the frequency when changing area. Of
course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the car
is crossing.

During automatic storage the display
shows “Autostore”.
Stations will be stored automatically
on the preset keys from “1” to “6” of
the keypad 16-fig. 1. After storage,
the radio tunes automatically to the
first station of the FMAST band, corresponding to the frequency stored on
the preset key “1” of the keypad 16-
fig. 1.
Every station is stored only once, except in the case of regional programmes, which in certain cases might
be stored twice.
The behaviour of the set during Au-
tostore is as follows:
– pressing one of the preset keys
from “1” to “6” the automatic storage
process is interrupted and the station
stored with that key is tuned
– changing the audio source (Radio,
CD, CD-Changer) during the automatic storage process, the Autostore
function is interrupted.
