ADVICE
ROAD SAFETY
You are recommended to learn how
to use the different functions of the
CONNECT Nav+ and in particular of
the radio (e.g. storing stations) before
starting to drive.CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The structure of the CONNECT
Nav+ ensures long years of operation
with no need for particular mainte-
nance. In the event of a fault, contact
Fiat Dealership.
Some care must however be taken
to ensure the complete efficiency of
the CONNECT Nav+:
– the monitor is sensitive to scratch-
ing, liquid detergents and UV rays;
– liquids that penetrate inside may
damage the device irreparably.
Clean the front panel and display on-
ly using a soft, dry antistatic cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may
damage the surface.

RECEPTION CONDITIONS
Reception conditions change con-
stantly when driving. Reception can be
disturbed by the presence of moun-
tains, buildings, bridges particularly
when far away from the broadcaster
received.
IMPORTANTWhen receiving
traffic information the volume might
be higher than normal.
Too high a volume when
driving can put the driver’s
life at risk and that of other people.
Therefore the volume should al-
ways be adjusted in such a way that
it is always possible to hear the
noises of the surrounding environ-
ment (e.g. horns, ambulance, police
sirens, etc.).

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.

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.

SYSTEM SWITCHING ON/OFF
AND STAND-BY
The system may be in one of the fol-
lowing conditions:
– off, with all functions disabled;
– normal status, with all functions ac-
tive or activatable;
– stand-by, with functions partially
active and screen darkened.
Switching the system on
The system is turned on automati-
cally turning the ignition key to MAR.
When the ignition key is at STOP
or removed, the system is turned on
pressing the knob 16-fig. 1or key
•
25-fig. 1for the “Emergency call” (to
use the phone it is necessary to en-
ter the PIN code).Switching the system off
The system is turned off automati-
cally when the ignition key is moved
to STOP. The conditions and func-
tions active before turning off are
memorised and brought back the next
time the engine is started.
Turning off is delayed if a phone call,
an “Emergency call” or a voice com-
mand language change is in progress,
and it will take place after about 20
minutes if the call is over or, if not at
the end of it.
If the system was turned on with the
knob 16-fig. 1or key
•25-fig. 1,
with the ignition key at STOPor re-
moved, it is turned off pressing the
knob again 16-fig. 1or automatically
after 20 minutes, to preserve the bat-
tery.Stand-by (Dark)
During operation with the ignition
key engaged, the system may be set to
stand-by with a prolonged press on
the “MAIN” key 17-fig. 1. This oper-
ating condition (Dark) corresponds to
a dark screen with the volume off, but
the system continues working invisi-
bly, therefore the phone is ready to
receive.
If during stand-by the limit of an ac-
tive function is exceeded, the corre-
sponding warning will be shown.
To bring the system back to the nor-
mal operating condition, briefly press
the “MAIN” key 17-fig. 1or key
•
25-fig. 1for the “Emergency call” (to
use the phone it is necessary to en-
ter the PIN code).

structions keep the “NAV” key
pressed 20-fig. 1. The volume will
lower gradually (Soft Mute function)
and the display will show the word-
ing “NAV MUTE”.
Too high a volume may be
a danger for the driver and
for other persons in the traffic. The
volume should therefore always be
adjusted in such a way as to still be
able to hear the noises in the sur-
rounding environment (for example
horns, ambulances, police cars,
etc.).

Soft Mute function
When the MUTE function (audio sys-
tem) or NAV MUTE (navigator) is
turned on or off, the volume lowers
or highers gradually (Soft Mute func-
tion). The Soft Mute function is also
turned on pressing one of the six pre-
set keys 1 ÷ 6 fig. 1, key 11-fig. 1or
key 12-fig. 1for tuning radio stations. To turn off the NAV MUTE function
press the “NAV” key 20-fig. 1at
length: the volume will gradually in-
crease (Soft Mute function) returning
to the value set previously.
With the NAV MUTE function on, all
the other navigator functions are us-
able and if traffic information is re-
ceived with the TA function on or an
emergency alarm is received the mes-
sage ignores the MUTE function.PROTECTION AGAINST
OVERHEATING
The components of the telematic
system are protected against over-
heating. The device stops it from
working when the temperature of the
module exceeds the established limit.
In this case the function activated by
the module that has reached the tem-
perature limit is switched off and the
display shows a warning message for
the user.
To resume the interrupted function,
the user should wait for the temper-
ature of the module to fall below the
limit; this condition will be indicated
by the message going off from the dis-
play followed by the reactivation of the
function.
Conversely, to exit the screen with
the message immediately and activate
a different function, press “ESC” 23-
fig. 1.
