NOTES
– Contact a Fiat Dealership only
for repairs to the radio and navigation
system, if required.
– The display may take some time to
reach optimal brightness in the event
of particularly low temperatures.
– The overheat protection device of
the system may trip if the car is parked
for a long time and the outside tem-
perature is high. The system will start
working again when the temperature
in the passenger compartment returns
to acceptable levels.CD
When using the audio CD player, re-
member that dirt or scratches on a CD
may make it skip and cause poor play-
back quality. The same things may hap-
pen if the CDs are bent.
IMPORTANT Do not use 8-cm
audio CDs or MP3 CDs even with a
specific adapter. This type of disk may
damage the system.
To achieve optimal playing condi-
tions, we recommend the following:
– Only use audio CDs with the fol-
lowing trademark:– Do not use chemical cleaning pro-
ducts (e.g. antistatic products, sprays,
or thinners) to prevent damage to the
CD surface.
– After playing a CD, put it back it
case to prevent marks and scratches
which could make it skip during play-
back.
– Keep CDs away from direct sunli-
ght, high temperatures and prolonged
humidity to prevent bending them.
– Do not stick labels or write on the
recorded side of a CD.
To extract a CD from its case, press
onto the middle of the case and lift the
CD holding it from its edges.
Proper way to hold
the compact discRemoving the disc
– Carefully clean each CD with soft
cloth. Remove fingerprints and dust.
Hold the CD from the edges and clean
it from the middle to the edges.
Be careful not to scratch
the display with sharp or ri-
gid objects. Avoid touching it
with your fingers. Do not press on
the display when cleaning it.

Always only hold a CD from its ed-
ges. Never touch the surface.
Use a soft cloth and sweep the CD
from the middle towards the edge to
remove fingerprints and dust.New CDs may be rough along the
edges. The device may not work pro-
perly and playback may skip in this ca-
se. Rub the edge with a ballpoint pen
or the like to make the edges of the
CD smooth.
IMPORTANT Do not use com-
mercially available protective sheets for
CDs or disks with stabilisers as these
could get stuck in the internal mecha-
nism and damage the disk.IMPORTANTIf a copy protected
CD is used, it may take a few seconds
before the system will start to play it.
In addition, due to the proliferation of
new and different protective methods,
it cannot always be guaranteed that
the CD player will play every protec-
ted disk. The presence of a copy pro-
tection system is often written in very
small, difficultly legible print on the co-
ver of the CD itself. Possible wording
includes “COPY CONTROL”,
“COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD
CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”. Symbols such as the fol-
lowing may be used:
The symbol used to identify audio
CDs is often missing from the disk and
the cover of a copy protected CD:

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE AND ROAD
SAFETY
The Connect Nav+ system allows to
easily control the main car functions.
Read the following instructions to
avoid endangering yourself and other
system users:
– maintain full control of the car whi-
le using the Connect Nav+ system. If
in doubt when selecting a function,
stop the car before proceeding.
– do not use the mobile telephone in
the proximity of explosive substances.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The navigation system allows to rea-
ch your destination indicating changes
of route employing the data stored on
the navigation CD-ROM.
The system calculates the route
taking all stored road data into ac-
count and recommends the best rou-
te. Traffic conditions, unexpected de-
tours and other problems cannot be
taken into consideration.
Respect the highway code regardless
of the navigation system instructions.
The navigation system will calculate a
new route if you decide not to follow
the recommended route instructions.
IIMPORTANT Do not use 8-cm
audio CDs or MP3 CDs even with a
specific adapter. This type of disk may
damage the system.
The navigation system is
designed to assist the dri-
ver and to suggest the best route
to reach the programmed desti-
nation using voice and graphic
messages. The suggestions sup-
plied by the navigation system do
not exonerate the driver from dri-
ving the car responsibly and re-
specting the highway code as well
as other road traffic dispositions.
The driver is always and only re-
sponsible for road safety.
