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 an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

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.

Reception conditions

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

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

1) 2)

❒

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 damage it beyond repair.

Important information

In the event of a fault, the system must only be checked and repaired by an Alfa Romeo 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 external temperature is very high, the system may go into “thermal protection” mode, suspending operation until the radio temperature returns to acceptable levels.

MULTIMEDIA DEVICES: SUPPORTED AUDIO FILES AND FORMATS

For SD, USB and iPod sources the system can play files with the following extensions and formats:

❒

.MP3 (32 – 320 kbps);

❒

.WAV;

❒

.WMA (5 – 320 kbps) mono and stereo;

❒

NOTES ON TRADEMARKS

iPod, iTunes and iPhone are registered trademarks of Apple Inc.

All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

Apple is not responsible for the operation of this device and of its conformity with the safety rules and standards.

The DAB/DAB+/DMB Digital Radio function has been certified according to the specifications of the "ARD" white sticker, for Class A - Audio services. ARD is a trademark of the Associazione per la Radiofonia Digitale in Italia.

EXTERNAL AUDIO SOURCES

Other electronic devices (e.g. iPod, PDA, etc.) can be used on the car.

Some of them may cause electromagnetic interference however. Disconnect these devices if the system performance worsens.

NOTE The system supports only FAT32-formatted USB devices. The system does not support devices with a capacity higher than 64 GB.

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION

The system is equipped with an anti-theft protection system based on the exchange of information with the electronic control unit (Body Computer) on the car.

This guarantees maximum safety and prevents the secret code from being entered after the power supply has been disconnected.

If the check has a positive outcome, the system will start to operate, whereas if the comparison codes are not the same or if the electronic control unit (Body Computer) is replaced, the system will ask the user to enter the secret code according to the procedure described in the paragraph below.

Entering the secret code

When the system is switched on, if the code is requested, the display will show "Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed by the video page showing a keypad to enter the secret code.

The secret code is made up of four digits, from 1 to 9: to insert the first number of the code press the corresponding key on the display. Enter the other code digits in the same way.

After entering the fourth figure, the system begins operating.

If an incorrect code is entered, the system displays "Incorrect Code. Please Try Again" to notify the user of the need to enter the correct code.

After the 3 available attempts to enter the code, the system displays "Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Please wait 30 minutes": the waiting time is displayed. Once the text has disappeared you can start the code entering procedure again.

MODEL: VP4 940

SAFETY SETTINGS

You are advised to use the safety settings to make driving as safe as possible.

A few options among the safety settings are listed below:

❒

For safer driving, use voice commands to control navigation (see "Voice commands" chapter).

display of menu buttons which are essential while driving;

display of safety warnings; alert if speed limits are exceeded.

Important information

Look at the screen only when it is necessary and safe. If you need to look at the screen for a long time, pull over to a safe place so as not to be distracted while driving.

Immediately stop using the system in the event of a fault. Otherwise the system might be damaged. Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership as soon as possible to have the system repaired.

NAVIGATION ACTIVATION

Press the NAV button on the front panel to activate navigation mode.

When navigation is activated for the first time, it is necessary to respond to some configuration questions: respond by touching the screen.

GPS (Global Positioning System) RECEPTION

The GPS is a satellite system which provides worldwide information about time and position. The GPS is exclusively controlled by the government of the United States of America, the only party responsible for the availability and accuracy of this system. The operation of this navigation system can be influenced by any change made to the availability and precision of the GPS or by specific environmental conditions.

When navigation is started for the first time, the system may require several minutes to determine the GPS position and display the current position on the map. Afterwards the position will be found much more quickly (usually a few seconds are required).

The presence of big buildings (or similar obstacles) may sometimes interfere with the GPS signal reception.

VOICE COMMANDS

INFORMATION ON VOICE COMMANDS

The navigation system uses voice commands for some or all of the following functions:

❒

driving information;

❒

warnings that you set.

Two types of voices are available during navigation:

❒

computer voices: they are generated by the navigation system. They read responses to voice commands and traffic;

❒

human voices: which have been recorded by an actor and provide instructions about the route.

VOLUME LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

The volume of the navigation system can be adjusted on the main unit.

Proceed as follows to activate/ deactivate the navigation instructions:

❒

in the "Driving view": touch the central box of the status bar to activate the navigation instruction audio again (if previously deactivated);

❒

in the "Setting menu": touch "Settings" in the Main menu, then touch "Turn on/off voice guidance".

USE OF THE VOICE COMMANDS

Instead of touching the screen, voice can be used to give voice commands to the navigation system.

For example, just say "2D view" to switch to the 2D view.

To display the list of available commands, touch "Help" in the Main menu, then touch "What can I say?".

Please follow the suggestions below to be sure that the voice commands are always recognised by the system:

❒

speak at a normal volume;

❒

always wait for the "beep" before speaking;

❒

the system is capable of recognising the voice commands given, irrespective of gender, tone of voice and intonation of the person giving the instructions;

❒

if possible, try and keep the noise in the passenger compartment to a minimum;

MODEL: VP4 940

❒

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.

IMPORTANT Voice commands must always be given in safe driving conditions, in compliance with the laws in force in the country where you are driving.

USE OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO ACTIVATE VOICE COMMANDS

"Phone" button

The button on the steering wheel controls enable to activate the "Phone" voice recognition system to make calls, display recent incoming and outgoing calls and phonebook, etc.

Every time the button is pressed, there is a "beep" and the display shows a suggestion screen inviting the user to give a command.

"Voice" button

The button on the steering wheel controls activates the "Radio/Media" voice recognition system to:

❒

tune to a specific radio station;

❒

tune into a specific AM, FM and DAB radio frequency (for versions/ markets, where provided);

❒

play a track on a USB storage device/iPod/MP3 SD;

❒

play an album on a USB storage device/iPod/MP3 SD.

Every time the button is pressed, there is a "beep" and the display shows a suggestion screen inviting the user to give a command.

Quick use of voice interaction

The or buttons, when pressed during a system voice message, allow a voice command to be given directly.

For example, if the system is saying a help voice message and you know the command to be given to the system, pressing the or buttons the voice message is interrupted and you can give the wished voice command directly (without having to listen to the whole help voice message).

The or buttons, if pressed when the system is waiting for a voice command by the user, close the voice session.

VOICE SESSION STATUS

The system displays the voice session status with specific icons:

❒

(green icon): displayed when the system is listening. In this case you can give a voice command;

❒

(green icon): displayed when the system has interpreted the given voice command and its function is performed. In this case you cannot give a voice command;

❒

(yellow icon): displayed when the system is processing the given voice command. In this case you cannot give a voice command;

❒

(yellow icon): displayed when the system is saying a help, information or multiple choice voice message. In this case you cannot give a voice command;

❒

(red icon): displayed when the voice interaction is ended by the user. In this case you cannot give a voice command.

MODEL: VP4 940

MULTIPLE CHOICE

In a few specific cases the system cannot define univocally the given voice command and asks for choosing among max. four alternatives.

For example, if you ask to call a name in the phonebook and there are similar names, the system will suggest a numerical list of the available alternatives (see fig. 23), asking to say the associated number.
