GENERAL
INFORMATION
The navigator integrated in the
CONNECT Nav+ allows you to
reach the chosen destination by visu-
al and voice instructions. Use of the
navigation system is quick, convenient,
safe and above all very flexible because
it allows you to call up already pro-
grammed destinations or points of ref-
erence such as hotels, monuments,
public structures, fuel stations orFi-
at Dealerships.
The car position is determined
through the GPS system (Global Posi-
tioning System) installed on the car.
The GPS system is fitted with an an-
tenna and a reception module inte-
grated in the telematic system. This
system configuration dynamically
processes the satellite signals, those
from the right and left odometer, the
reversing signal and the information of
the gyroscope integrated in the navi-
gation computer, integrating them
with the current position of the car to
obtain an “estimated car point”.The navigation system helps the dri-
ver while he/she drives by suggesting
vocally and graphically the optimum
routing to reach the preset destina-
tion.
The navigation system suggestions do
not exempt the driver from full re-
sponsibility due to his/her driving be-
haviour and to compliance with road
and other traffic regulations. The re-
sponsibility for road safety always and
in any case lies with the car driver.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 car bat-
tery is disconnected.
– The GPS system needs a few min-
utes to determine the new position of
the car if it is turned off and the car
is moved with the system off (e.g.: on
ferryboat).
– The GPS satellite aerial must not
be covered with metal or damp ob-
jects.
The instantaneous car 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
– Accurate self-adjustment of the
navigation system requires approx.
100 km of travel the first time and
when tyres are changed; during this
stage the calculated position could be
less accurate.
– 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 an-
other area or an updated map.
Access to the navigation main func-
tions is gained by short push on “NAV”
key 11-fig. 1 , whereas, a long push on
the same key will deactivate the navi-
gation function: the display shows NAV
OFF.
To switch the function on press the
“NAV” key 11-fig. 1again.
Each time you start the engine and
select the navigation function, the dis-
play will show the cautions for using
the system; the text displayed is as fol-
lows:“The FIAT navigation system guides
you in traffic and helps you reach your
destination. Comply with all local traf-
fic regulations, which take precedence
over the manoeuvres indicated by the
navigation system. Full responsibility
for operating the vehicle and observ-
ing all traffic regulations lies with the
driver”.
This page will not be displayed as
long as the ignition key is to MAR.SCREEN OPTIONS
AND FUNCTIONS
The main information and functions
provided and managed by the naviga-
tion system are:
– GPS signal symbol which differs in
colour depending on the quality of re-
ception ;
– voice and visual instructions with
indications of distance from the des-
tination and planned arrival time;
– detailed map in different colours
and with different scales to clearly
show the car position, route and des-
tination;
– customisation of the navigation sys-
tem with possibility of entering pre-
memorised destinations;
– automatic memorising of the last 8
destinations;
– name of current street;
– possibility to choose the route ac-
cording to personal preference;
– information on current position;
– information on arrival time.

If the system contains a wrong CD-
ROM, an audio CD or no CD, when-
ever the system asks for the navigation
CD-ROM for route calculation or map
up-date, the insertion prompt will ap-
pear on the display.GRAPHIC
INSTRUCTIONS
The main navigation function page
and the MAIN page display the ma-
noeuvres to be made using arrows or
symbols.
The downward graphic symbol rep-
resents next manoeuvre (turn left,
right, straight on, U-turn) while the
upward graphic symbol represents the
next one. The number displayed un-
der the graphic symbol indicates the
car distance from the manoeuvre
point.
VOICE
INSTRUCTIONS
The voice instructions provided by
the system guide you to your desti-
nation and suggest all manoeuvres to
be carried out in due time: in particu-
lar, the manoeuvres is announced first
and then detailed instructions are giv-
en.
Press the “RPT” key 7-fig. 1to re-
peat the last voice instruction.
To adjust the volume of the voice in-
struction turn the encoder 14-fig. 1
during voice information.
If necessary, press the “RPT” key 7-
fig. 1to repeat the voice instruction
and adjust the volume.

The navigator CD-ROM player 5-fig.
1is located on the CONNECT Nav+
front panel and it is the same used for
the audio CD. Therefore, it is not pos-
sible to use the player for audio and
navigation CD-ROM at the same time:
however, the navigation system can
operate partially even without insert-
ing the navigation CD-ROM.
In this case, when pressing key
˚
9-fig.1to remove the CD-ROM with
navigation function engaged (to then
insert an audio CD), the following two
cases may occur:1) If no route has been calculated,
when ejecting the CD ROM only the
information on the car position (co-
ordinates) fig. 96will be available.
2) The route previously calculated is
still valid, the system provides the user
with any instruction to reach the des-
tination.
If the route previously calculated is
still valid, the system will show the
screen in fig. 97. If the user selects and confirms
“YES”, the system will store the navi-
gation data required to reach the set
destination; this operation requires a
few seconds and the display will
prompt the message to waitfig. 98.
After loading, the CD-ROM is eject-
ed and the system restarts its naviga-
tion function with the maximum scale
of “2 km”; therefore it may be possi-
ble that not all of the route is visible.
If the user selects and confirms
“NO”, route guide will be deactivated
and the display will go back to screen
in fig. 96.

Moreover, navigation in these con-
ditions involves limitations and there-
fore some functions and commands
will not be available. Also information
shown on the map will be limited.
When the navigation system is no
longer able to continue destination
guidance or the car is now out of the
loaded map section, the system
prompts for inserting the navigation
CD-ROM fig. 99. If the user does not
insert the CD-ROM, the system re-
turns to the status shown in fig. 96.IMPORTANT
The driver is always responsible
for compliance with the enforced
traffic regulations: any indication
based on wrong map data leading
to unauthorised driving manoeu-
vres MUST NOT be followed.MAP
If the “MAP” key 16-fig. 1is pressed,
the display shows map, route (if pre-
sent), car position (town and street
names), icons of next two crosses (on-
ly if route is present fig. 100.
To modify the map scale, proceed as
follows:
– rotate the encoder 14-fig. 1and
select the required scale;
– press “ENTER” to confirm 15-fig.

If the user gets near a cross, the map
is replaced by a zoom of the area fig.
