WARNING
183)If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic. Always
adjust the volume so that you can still
hear background noises.
184)Multimedia CDs include data tracks in
addition to the audio tracks. Playing this
type of CD can cause hissing at a volume
that may jeopardise road safety as well
as cause damage to the final stages and
the speakers.
185)Using some of the system functions
whilst driving can distract attention away
from the road, risking an accident or other
serious consequences; they should
therefore be used only when driving
conditions allow it and, if necessary, only
with the vehicle stationary.
186)IMPORTANT: Looking at the system
when driving can divert attention from
the road, with the risk of accidents or other
serious consequences. Do not change
the system settings or load data while
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal
manner before carrying out these
operations. Adopting these precautions is
important since setting or changing some
functions may require the driver to be
distracted from the road and remove their
hands from the steering wheel.187)Looking at the display for a long time:
while driving, do not use any function
that requires looking at the display for a
long time. Pull over in a safe and legal
manner before attempting to access a
function of the system that requires
prolonged attention. Even occasional short
glances at the display may be hazardous
if your attention is diverted from driving at a
critical moment.
188)Setting the volume: do not turn the
volume up too high. Keep the volume at a
level where you can still hear outside traffic
and emergency signals while driving.
Driving while unable to hear these sounds
may cause an accident.
WARNING
72)Do not press the eject button
accidentally when inserting a CD.

Uconnect Mobile –
Uconnect Bluetooth
189) 190) 191) 192) 193) 194) 195) 196) 197) 198)
The Uconnect Mobile and Uconnect
Bluetooth systems were designed
according to the specific characteristics
of the passenger compartment, with a
customised design that perfectly
matches the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below
and we recommend you to read them
carefully.
TIPS
Familiarise yourself with the various
functions of the Uconnect systems (for
example, by storing the stations) before
starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
information and news.Care and maintenance
Only clean the cover with a soft,
anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The Uconnect systems are equipped
with an anti-theft protection system
based on an exchange of information
between the Uconnect system and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the car.
This system guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code
from being entered each time the
Uconnect system power supply is
disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
Uconnect system will start to operate,
whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same, or if the electronic
control unit (Body Computer) is
replaced, the device will ask the user to
enter the secret code according to
the procedure described in the
paragraph below.Entering the secret code
If the password is required when the
Uconnect system is switched on,
the display will show "Radio code" for
about 2 seconds, followed by four
dashes "----".
The code is made up of four digits from
1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit, press the
corresponding button of the preset
stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other
code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show
"Enter code----".Ifthis occurs, it is
not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the Uconnect system will
start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
Uconnect system will emit a sound and
the display will show "Radio blocked/
wait" to notify the user of the need
to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually
increases (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min,
16 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h,
24h) to a maximum of 24 hours.
195

The waiting time will be shown on the
display with the text "Radio blocked/
wait". After the text has disappeared it
is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of a
Uconnect system. The vehicle radio
passport shows the Uconnect system
model, serial number and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in
a safe place so that you can give the
information to the relevant authorities if
the Uconnect system is stolen.
In the case of loss of the vehicle radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the vehicle
ownership documents.
