Connected services that can be
accessed on the vehicle
The Uconnect™ LIVE services
available in the radio menu can change
according to the market.
The eco:Drive™ and my:Car
applications were developed to
improve the customer’s driving
experience, therefore they are available
in all markets, where the Uconnect™
LIVE services can be accessed.
For further information visit the
www.DriveUconnect.eu website.
If the navigation system is installed in
the radio, accessing the Uconnect™
LIVE services enables use of the
TomTom LIVE services. Further
information about the LIVE functions is
available in the dedicated chapter.
eco:Drive™
The eco:Drive™ application allows you
to display your driving behaviour in real
time, in order to help you reach a more
efficient driving style as far as
consumption and emissions are
concerned.In addition, the data can be saved on a
USB flash drive, and the data analysis
can be made on your personal
computer thanks to the eco:Drive™
desktop application, available on
www.fiat.it or www.DriveUconnect.eu.
Driving style is evaluated by means of
four indices which monitor the
following parameters:
❒ Acceleration
❒ Deceleration
❒ Shifting
❒ Speed
eco:Drive™ display
Press the eco:Drive™ button to
interact with the function.
A screen will be displayed on the radio,
showing the 4 indices described
above. These indices are grey until the
system has enough data to evaluate
the driving style.
Once sufficient data are available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending
on the evaluation: dark green (very
good), light green, yellow, orange and
red (very bad).“Current trip index” refers to the entire
value calculated in real time based on
the average of the described indices.
It represents eco-friendliness of the
driving style: from 0 (low) to 100 (high).
In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices up to that moment (”Average
index”) then the indices will be
coloured again in real time as soon as
the vehicle is restarted.
To check the data average of previous
trip (a “trip” is a cycle starting from
when the ignition key is turned on until
it is turned off), select the “Previous
Trip” button (fig. 4).
The details of the previous trip can also
be displayed by pressing the “Details”
button, in which duration (time and
