2008 FIAT IDEA Connect NavPlus Manual

The car is fitted with the infotelematic CONNECT system designed in accordance with the specific features of
the passenger compartment and with a personalised design that blends with the styling of the dashboard.
The system is installed in a user-friendly position for the driver and the graphics on the front panel make it
easy to quickly locate the controls which facilitates the use of them.
To increase safety against theft, the set is fitted with a protection system that allows the use of it only on the
car on which it was fitted originally.
The pages that follow contain the instructions for use, which we advise you to read carefully and always keep
within reach (e.g. in the glove compartment).
So, enjoy your reading and have a good journey.
IMPORTANTFor the navigation system only use the original CD provided with the car or in any case other
CDs of the same brand.

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.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.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.

Too high a volume when dri-
ving can put the driver’s life
at risk and that of other people.
Therefore the volume should always
be adjusted in such a way that it is
always possible to hear the noises of
the surrounding environment (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 at Fiat Dealership.
– In case of particularly low temper-
atures the display might take a certain
time to reach the 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.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 skippingwhen playing
and poor sound quality. The same hap-
pens if Compact Discsare bent by ac-
cident.
IMPORTANTNever use 8 cm au-
dio or MP3 CDs, even with the spe-
cial adapter, since this format damages
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. 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.

– 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.
To remove a Compact Disc from its
container, press on the centre and
raise the disc holding carefully from
the edges.Always hold a Compact Disc by the
edge. Never touch the surface.
To remove fingerprints and dust, use
a soft cloth starting from the centre of
the Compact Disc towards the cir-
cumference.
Proper way to hold
the compact discRemoving the disc
New discs may be rough around the
edges. When using these discs the
player might not work or the sound
might skip. To remove roughness
from the edge of a disc use a ball-point
pen, etc.

Roughness
IMPORTANTDo not use the pro-
tective sheets for CDs in commerce
or discs with stabilisers, etc. as they
might get stuck in the internal mech-
anism and damage the disc.

Do not use solvents such as stain re-
movers, antistatic sprays or thinners
in commerce for cleaning Compact
Discs.
Do not use highly scratched, cracked
or distorted Compact Discs. This
could damage the player or prevent
it from working properly.

Notes about Compact Discs
Do not stick labels on the surfaces of
a Compact Disc or write on the sur-
face with pens or pencils.
No
IMPORTANTShould copy-pro-
tected CDs be used, then, few sec-
onds may be required before the sys-
tem starts to play them. Moreover,
due to the proliferation of always new
and different protection methods, it is
not guaranteed that the CD player can
play whatever protected disc. Copy
protection is often indicated on the
CD cover in small letters or hard to
read characters. Usually it is indicat-
ed by writings like: “COPY CON-
TROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”,
“THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED
ON A PC/MAC”, or it is identified by
symbols like:
Protected discs (and their cover)
very often are not marked with the au-
dio CD identification symbol:
