TIPS
ROAD SAFETY
We recommend that you learn to
use the various car radio and naviga-
tor functions (for example, storing sta-
tions) before starting to drive.RECEPTION CONDITIONS
Reception conditions change con-
stantly while driving. Reception may be
disturbed near mountains, buildings or
bridges especially when you are far
away from the broadcaster’s tran-
smitter.
IMPORTANTWhen receiving
traffic information, there may be an in-
crease in volume with respect to nor-
mal.MAINTENANCE AND CARE
The constructive structure of the ra-
dio and navigation system guarantees
a long life without any need for parti-
cular maintenance. In the case of da-
mage, contact a Fiat Dealership.
The following precautions will ensu-
re fully efficient operation of the radio
and navigation system:
– the monitor may be scratched and
damaged by liquid detergents and UV
radiation;
– the device could be damaged
beyond repair if fluids penetrate insi-
de.
Use a clean, dry, antistatic, soft cloth
to clean the front panel and the display
only. Cleaning and polishing products
could damage the surface.
TIPS, CONTROLS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Excessively high volume
while you are driving may
endanger your life and that of
others. Always adjust the volume so
you are able to hear the surroun-
ding noises (for example, horns,
ambulances, police cars, etc.).

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.
