CONNECT NAV+
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.

THEFT
Power-on authentication
procedure
CONNECT Nav+ is protected
against theft and unauthorised instal-
lation by means of an “authentication
procedure”.
This kind of verification involves
Body Computer Node (by means of
messages exchanged on car network)
and is performed at every power-on.
The process will not be actuated if
the radio navigation system is turned
on by means of key 17-fig. 1. In this
case, the radio navigation system will
operate normally, without carrying out
the authentication procedure.
