CONNECT Nav+

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.
