Fiat Ulysse 2007 User Manual

The car is equipped with a CONNECT Nav+ system designed according to the specific features of the passen-

ger compartment with a customised design which matches the style of the dashboard.

The system is installed in an ergonomically convenient position for the driver and the passenger; the graphic on

the front panel helps to quickly identify the controls and makes them easier to use.

In order to deter thefts, the device is provided with a special protection system and may only be used on the

car where it was originally fitted.

The interface language of the system is that in use in the country where the car is registered. Contact a Fiat

Dealership to change the language or the voice (male/female) at a later time.

Read the following instructions carefully and keep the instructions at hand at all times (e.g. in the oddment

compartment).

Enjoy.

IMPORTANT For the CONNECT Nav+ navigator function,

use the original CD supplied with your car

or other CDs of the same make.

TIPS

ROAD SAFETY

We recommend that you learn to
use the various car radio and naviga­tor functions (for example, storing sta­tions) before starting to drive.

RECEPTION CONDITIONS

Reception conditions change con­stantly while driving. Reception may be
disturbed near mountains, buildings or
bridges especially when you are far
away from the broadcaster’s tran­smitter.

IMPORTANT When receiving
traffic information, there may be an in­crease in volume with respect to nor­mal.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

The constructive structure of the ra­dio and navigation system guarantees
a long life without any need for parti­cular maintenance. In the case of da­mage, contact a Fiat Dealership.

The following precautions will ensu­re fully efficient operation of the radio
and navigation system:

– the monitor may be scratched and
damaged by liquid detergents and UV
radiation;

– the device could be damaged
beyond repair if fluids penetrate insi­de.

Use a clean, dry, antistatic, soft cloth
to clean the front panel and the display
only. Cleaning and polishing products
could damage the surface.

TIPS, CONTROLS AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Excessively high volume

while you are driving may
endanger your life and that of
others. Always adjust the volume so
you are able to hear the surroun­ding noises (for example, horns,
ambulances, police cars, etc.).

WARNING

5

NOTES

– Contact a Fiat Dealership only
for repairs to the radio and navigation
system, if required.

– The display may take some time to
reach optimal brightness in the event
of particularly low temperatures.

– The overheat protection device of
the system may trip if the car is parked
for a long time and the outside tem­perature is high. The system will start
working again when the temperature
in the passenger compartment returns
to acceptable levels.

CD

When using the audio CD player, re­member that dirt or scratches on a CD
may make it skip and cause poor play­back quality. The same things may hap­pen if the CDs are bent.

IMPORTANT Do not use 8-cm
audio CDs or MP3 CDs even with a
specific adapter. This type of disk may
damage the system.

To achieve optimal playing condi­tions, we recommend the following:

– Only use audio CDs with the fol­lowing trademark:

– Do not use chemical cleaning pro­ducts (e.g. antistatic products, sprays,
or thinners) to prevent damage to the
CD surface.

– After playing a CD, put it back it
case to prevent marks and scratches
which could make it skip during play­back.

– Keep CDs away from direct sunli­ght, high temperatures and prolonged
humidity to prevent bending them.

– Do not stick labels or write on the
recorded side of a CD.

To extract a CD from its case, press
onto the middle of the case and lift the
CD holding it from its edges.

Proper way to hold
the compact disc

Removing the disc

– Carefully clean each CD with soft
cloth. Remove fingerprints and dust.
Hold the CD from the edges and clean
it from the middle to the edges.

Be careful not to scratch
the display with sharp or ri­gid objects. Avoid touching it

with your fingers. Do not press on
the display when cleaning it.

6

Always only hold a CD from its ed-

ges. Never touch the surface.

Use a soft cloth and sweep the CD
from the middle towards the edge to
remove fingerprints and dust.

New CDs may be rough along the
edges. The device may not work pro­perly and playback may skip in this ca­se. Rub the edge with a ballpoint pen
or the like to make the edges of the
CD smooth.

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

IMPORTANT If a copy protected
CD is used, it may take a few seconds
before the system will start to play it.
In addition, due to the proliferation of
new and different protective methods,
it cannot always be guaranteed that
the CD player will play every protec­ted disk. The presence of a copy pro­tection system is often written in very
small, difficultly legible print on the co­ver of the CD itself. Possible wording
includes “COPY CONTROL”,
“COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD
CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”. Symbols such as the fol­lowing may be used:

The symbol used to identify audio
CDs is often missing from the disk and

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE AND ROAD
SAFETY

The Connect Nav+ system allows to
easily control the main car functions.

Read the following instructions to
avoid endangering yourself and other
system users:

– maintain full control of the car whi­le using the Connect Nav+ system. If
in doubt when selecting a function,
stop the car before proceeding.

– do not use the mobile telephone in
the proximity of explosive substances.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The navigation system allows to rea­ch your destination indicating changes
of route employing the data stored on
the navigation CD-ROM.

The system calculates the route
taking all stored road data into ac­count and recommends the best rou­te. Traffic conditions, unexpected de­tours and other problems cannot be
taken into consideration.

Respect the highway code regardless
of the navigation system instructions.
The navigation system will calculate a
new route if you decide not to follow
the recommended route instructions.

IIMPORTANT Do not use 8-cm
audio CDs or MP3 CDs even with a
specific adapter. This type of disk may
damage the system.

The navigation system is

designed to assist the driver
and to suggest the best route to
reach the programmed destination
using voice and graphic messages.
The suggestions supplied by the na­vigation system do not exonerate
the driver from driving the car re­sponsibly and respecting the hi­ghway code as well as other road
traffic dispositions. The driver is
always and only responsible for
road safety.
