2006 FIAT IDEA navigation

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 18-fig. 1 , whereas a long push
(over 2 seconds) on the same key will
activate the NAV RPT function: navi-
gation voice instructions will be un-
available. To switch the function on
again press the “NAV” key 18-fig. 1for
over 2 seconds.When the system is switched on, the
display will, upon the first selection of
the navigating function, show the in-
structions for using the system. The
text will be as follows:
“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 ON.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
10 destinations;
– name of current street;

CONNECT NAV+

– 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.
Should a CD be inserted in the
wrong side, the display will show the
message “CD ERROR”. In this event,
eject the CD and re-insert it proper-
ly.GRAPHIC INSTRUCTIONS
The operations to be performed will
be displayed by means of arrows or
pictograms on the main page of the
navigating function.
The downward graphic symbol rep-
resents next manoeuvre (turn left,
right, straight on, U-turn) while the up-
ward 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 destina-
tion and suggest all manoeuvres to be
carried out in due time: in particular,
the manoeuvres is announced first and
then detailed instructions are given.
Press briefly the “NAV” key 18-fig.
1to repeat the last voice instruction.
To adjust the volume turn the knob
17-fig. 1during voice instruction.
If necessary, press again “NAV ” 18-
fig. 1to repeat the voice instruction
and adjust the volume.

CONNECT NAV+

The navigator CD-ROM player 7-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
˚8-
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. 94will 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. 95.
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 wait fig. 96.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. 94.
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.

insert the CD-ROM, the system re-
turns to the status shown in fig. 94.
