IMPORTANT NOTES
– In the event of a fault the CON-
NECT Nav+ should be checked and
repaired only by Fiat Dealership.
– In the case of particularly low tem-
peratures the display might take a cer-
tain time to reach 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
of the CONNECT Nav+, the system
can be updated to benefit of the im-
provements made for controlling cer-
tain functions. Software updating is to
be seen to by specialised staff of the
Fiat Dealership.
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 CDs, even with the specific
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.
– 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 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.
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 and in the
event of breakage do not touch the
fluid that could come out. In case
of contact with the skin wash im-
mediately with water and soap.

INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR
USE AND ROAD SAFETY
To avoid creating dangerous situa-
tions 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 vehi-
cle; in the case of doubt in the use of
the functions, it is necessary to stop
before performing the various opera-
tions;
– 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-

CONNECT Nav+
153
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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The CONNECT Nav+ controls and
provides information for the following
systems and functions:
– Radio with CD-ROM or Audio CD
player
– GSM Dual Band cell phone with
voice commands
– Navigation system
– On-board computer
– Information and assistance services.
The interface is the multifunction in-
formation display for all the integrat-
ed components.MULTIFUNCTION
INFORMATION DISPLAY
The colour display comprises a 5”
TFT (approx. 7.5 x 10.3 cm) and 320H
x 234V pixel screen.
The display brightness can be
changed depending on the environ-
ment conditions and the driver’s re-
quirements, storing two settings, day
and night, according to the settings
performed in the “Setup / Setup-
CONNECT / Day brightness – Night
brightness”.
Brightness can be switched from day
to night and vice versa if external lights
are on and if light conditions in the
passenger compartment are compat-
ible.
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.

FLEET MANAGEMENT
When choosing this function, the
CONNECT Nav+ sends automatical-
ly SMS messages (to a suitable preset
receiver, e.g. a control centre) de-
scribing the position of the vehicle
mounting the CONNECT Nav+.
SMS messages are structured as fol-
lows:
– vehicle location (latitude and lon-
gitude)
– city (only with navigation CD in-
serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– street (only with navigation CD in-
serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– time and date
– vehicle ID (number plate).Example: LT:-2.30000;LG:-2.40000; #Benevento;#
Via Basilio Giannelli;#S:30;M:20; H:19;ND:2;D:02;MH:10;Y:2001;#BR757AM;#
– press the “MAIN” button 17-fig. 1
to display the main screen;
– select and confirm “Setup” by ro-
tating and pressing the knob 22-fig. 1;
the display will show the “Com-
mands&Set” menu;
– select and confirm “Fleet manage-
ment” fig. 7by rotating and pressing

If the navigation CD is inserted, the
vehicle position is processed matching
coordinates with system maps.
In any case, navigation CD absence,
does not impair system operation.
The system will send the SMS message
even if the GPS coverage is temporari-
ly missing; in this case the vehicle posi-
tion is calculated through the “dead
reckoning” procedure.
To activate the Fleet Management
function, proceed as follows:

MODEM (data interface)
This function enables to connect an
external device (e.g.: portable com-
puter) to the CONNECT Nav+ that
in this case will act as a modem. To im-
plement such configuration the link be-
tween the external device and the
CONNECT Nav+ connection (to be
found in central position under the
dashboard) shall be performed using
the cable provided with the system.
The max. data transmission speed is
that provided for the cellular tele-
phone mode (TEL) and is equal to 9.6
Kbps, as established by the commu-
nication with GSM cell network.
During data transmission (modem
function on), the CONNECT Nav+
condition is the following:
– telephone mode off (TEL-OFF);
– incoming calls blocked;– call forwarding blocked;
– navigator (NAV) function can be
activated; if navigation is on data trans-
mission can be slow;
– all audio functions (radio, CD) can
be activated
– emergency call can be forwarded
by pressing •25-fig. 1.IMPORTANTThe modem func-
tion cannot be activated during a call.
IMPORTANTPress button •to
abort the modem function; the system
will restore the GSM telephone mode
for the selected function and will re-
quest to enter the PIN code; data ex-
changed during transmission will be
lost (unless data back-up have been
performed by user’s computer appli-
cations).
The modem function will not be re-
stored automatically by the system
when the emergency or service call is
over. To restore it repeat the proce-
dure from the beginning.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The navigator integrated in the
CONNECT Nav+ allows you to reach
the chosen destination by visual and
voice instructions. Use of the naviga-
tion system is quick, convenient, safe
and above all very flexible because it al-
lows you to call up already pro-
grammed destinations or points of ref-
erence such as hotels, monuments,
public structures, fuel stations or Fi-
at Dealerships.
The vehicle position is determined
through the GPS system (Global Posi-
tioning System) installed on the vehicle.
The GPS system is fitted with an an-
tenna and a reception module inte-
grated in the telematic system. This sys-
tem configuration dynamically process-
es the satellite signals, those from the
right and left odometer, the reversing
signal and the information of the gyro-
scope integrated in the navigation com-
puter, integrating them with the cur-
rent position of the vehicle to obtain an
“estimated vehicle point”.The signals from the right and left
odometer make it possible to deter-
mine the movement of the vehicle, the
gyroscope signal identifies any turn-
ing and the reversing sensor distin-
guishes the direction of travel.
The Fiat navigation system helps the
driver while he/ahe drives by suggest-
ing vocally and graphically the opti-
mum routing to reach the preset des-
tination.IMPORTANT NOTES
– GPS reception is difficult under
trees, among tall buildings, in multi-lev-
el car parks, tunnels and everywhere
reception of the satellite antenna may
be hindered.
– The GPS system needs about 15
minutes for activation if the vehicle
battery is disconnected.
– The GPS system needs a few min-
utes to determine the new position of
the vehicle if it is turned off and the ve-
hicle is moved with the system off (e.g.:
by breakdown van).
– In the lack of satellite information,
the system uses information from the
gyroscope and from the special sen-
sors for temporary data analysis.
– The GPS satellite aerial must not
be covered with metal or damp ob-
jects.

The navigation system sug-
gestions do not exempt the
driver from full responsibility due to
his driving behaviour and to com-
pliance with road and other traffic
regulations. The responsibility for
road safety always and in any case
lies with the vehicle driver.
WARNING

The instantaneous vehicle position is
identified in the CD-ROM and shown
on the display together with the topo-
graphic characteristics of the area
memorised on the CD-ROM. Access
to data on the CD-ROM requires a
few moments waiting for the map dis-
plays.
The system constantly compares da-
ta from the speed sensor, from the re-
verse gear sensor, from the GPS an-
tenna and the gyroscope to automat-
ically compensate changes in temper-
ature, pressure or any other occur-
rence that may lead to a false position
detection in any way.
IMPORTANT NOTES
– Accurate self-adjustment of the
navigation system requires approx.
1-10 km of travel the first time and
when tyres are changed.– Continuous lack of grip at the
wheels (for example skidding on ice),
makes the system temporarily detect
an incorrect position.
The navigation system is completely
managed by the telematic system,
therefore the only operations that may
be required are replacement of the
CD-ROM to set the map of another
area or an updated map.
Access to the navigation main func-
tions is gained by short push on
“NAV” key 20-fig. 1after turning on. Long push on “NAV” key 20-fig. 1
engages the navigation system Mute
function, which will therefore no
longer provide voice instructions.
When the Mute function is on, the dis-
play shows “Nav Mute”. To turn the
Mute function off press again the
“NAV” key 20-fig. 1at length.
Each time you start the engine and
select the navigation function, the dis-
play will show a page with the cautions
for using the system fig. 47. To con-
tinue system use this page must be
confirmed pressing the “NAV” key
20-fig. 1. This page will not be dis-
played as long as the system is on.
