cleaning (e.g. spray cans, antistatics or
thinners) as they might damage the
surface of Compact Discs.
– After listening to them put Com-
pact 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.

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
time to reach the optimum brightness.
– In the case of prolonged parking
with high outside temperature, the au-
tomatic thermal protection of the sys-
tem may come into action suspend-
ing operation until the passenger com-
partment temperature falls to accept-
able 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 con-
trolling 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 play-
ing and poor sound quality. The same
happens if Compact Discs are bent by
accident.
IMPORTANTNever use 8 mm au-
dio or MP3 CDs, even with the spe-
cific adapter, since this format will
damage the system.
To obtain optimum playing condi-
tions 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 out-
wards.
Always hold a Compact Disc by the
edge. Never touch the surface.

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.

might get stuck in the internal mech-
anism and damage the disc.

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 situa-
tions 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 per-
forming 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 concern-
ing the roads, advising the best route.
However it cannot take account of the
traffic, sudden interruptions or any
other inconvenience.In carrying out any manoeuvre it is
always necessary to follow the rules of
the road, regardless of the advice giv-
en by the navigation system. If you
leave the suggested route, the naviga-
tion 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 onwith ig-
nition key to MAR;
manual switching on:
– by pressing knob 16-fig. 1;
– with direct access to SOS menu by
pressing button
•25-fig. 1.
Automatic switching on
Turning the ignition key to MARwill
turn the system on automatically, thus
activating or making available all the
functions described in this manual.
The navigation system
helps the driver while dri-
ving by suggesting, vocally and
graphically, the best route to be fol-
lowed to reach the preset destina-
tion. The suggestions given by the
navigation system do not exempt
the driver from full responsibility
due to driving behaviour and com-
pliance with road and other traffic
regulations. The responsibility for
road safety always and anyway lies
with the vehicle’s driver.
