ADVICE
ROAD SAFETY
You are recommended to learn how
to use the different functions of the
system and in particular of the radio
(e.g. storing stations) before starting
to drive.
WARNING
Too high a volume when
driving 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.).
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 system ensures
long years of operation with no need
for particular maintenance. In the
event of a fault, contact Fiat Deal-ership.
N
Some care must however be taken
to ensure the complete efficiency of
the system:
– 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.
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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
– In the event of a fault the CON-
NECT system should be checked and
repaired only at Fiat Dealership.
– In case of particularly low temper-
atures the display might take a certain
CONNECT Nav
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.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
UPDATING
When new versions are available for
the software of the navigation module,
the system can be updated to benefit
of the improvements made for controlling certain functions.
Software updating is to be seen to by
specialised staff of the Fiat Dealer-
ship.
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 mm audio or MP3 CDs, even with the specific adapter, since this format will
damage 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.
– 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.
IMPORTANT Do not use the pro-
tective sheets for CDs in commerce
or discs with stabilisers, etc. as they
might get stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.
Do not use highly scratched, cracked
or distorted Compact Discs. This
could damage the player or prevent
it from working properly.
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.
Notes about Compact Discs
Do not stick labels on the surfaces of
a Compact Disc or write on the surface with pens or pencils.
Do not use solvents such as stain removers, antistatic sprays or thinners
in commerce for cleaning Compact
Discs.
CONNECT Nav
Do not expose Compact Discs to direct sunlight or any other source of
heat.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR
USE AND ROAD SAFETY
The CONNECT system makes it
possible to easily control the main
functions of the vehicle.
To avoid creating dangerous situations for yourself and others in use of
the system, please pay attention to the
following points:
– the system must be used keeping
full control of the vehicle; 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.
WARNING
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 vehicle’s driver.
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.
SYSTEM POWER ON
The system can be switched on ac-
cording to two different methods:
automatic switching on with ig-
nition key to MAR;
manual switching on:
– by pressing knob 16-fig. 1;
– with direct access to SOS menu by
pressing button
Automatic switching on
Turning the ignition key to MAR will
turn the system on automatically, thus
activating or making available all the
functions described in this manual.

change, units change and any other
type of adjustment provided by the
system. These limitations are normal
when switching the system on manually by the knob 16-fig. 1, since with
engine off (key at STOP) the vehicle
data transmission devices are not operating.
Turning the ignition key to MAR, will
make all system functions active.
•
.
SYSTEM POWER OFF
The CONNECT system can be
switched off according to two different modes:
– deactivation independent of ignition key

call is in progress.
Deactivation dependent
on ignition key
With this mode active, the system
can be switched off by turning the ignition key to STOP or pressing the
knob 16-fig. 1.
IMPORTANT Deactivation with
ignition key to STOP is delayed and

PROTECTION
AGAINST THEFT
Power-on authentication
procedure
The system 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 vehicle network) and is performed at every power-on.
The procedure will not take place if
the system is switched on by means of
knob 16-fig. 1 or button
and ignition key at STOP. In this case,
the system is enabled to work normally, without authentication procedure.
• 25-fig. 1
With ignition key at MAR, if au-
thentication 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 system, and is stored in its memory and
can not be reset.
A specific screen allows code insertion,
. Behaviour of this box is
fig. 2
similar to PIN insertion request, but
the dialog box itself is generated on a
wholly blackened screen.
After entering the code, press the
knob
22-fig. 1
to confirm.
After the code is entered, a second
screen notices the user that the authentication procedure is in progress,
.
fig. 3
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 not turn off system.
There is no upper limit to the number of wrong codes that can be entered.

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 working
and at the same time you wish to receive traffic information, turning on the
TA function, the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band and the
traffic announcements are transmitted.
If the station selected does not broadcast traffic information, an enabled station is sought automatically.
To stop traffic announcement, turn
off the TA function while receiving traffic messages.
If the tuned station belongs to the
EON (ENHANCED OTHER NETWORK) circuit, the display will show
“EON”
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 working in the AM
band, choosing the FM band tunes to
the last station heard. If the chosen
station does not broadcast traffic information (“TP” not shown on the display), an automatic search is started
for an enabled station.
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.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is
on and the station tuned is not enabled
to provide traffic information or is no
longer able to broadcast this information (the display does not show “TP”),
after about 1 minute in which the radio is in these conditions:
– if a CD is being played another station enabled to broadcast traffic information is sought automatically.
