Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
avoid hitting the display lens with
pointed or hard objects that could
damage its surface;
clean with a damp cloth (microfibre if
possible). If necessary, you can use a
delicate mild soap and water solution,
then dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
apply pressure to the display lens while
cleaning;
do not use alcohol, benzines and their
derivatives, ammonia, solvents or other
surfactants to clean the display lens;
prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.

select the device to be paired;
when requested by the audio device,
enter the PIN code shown on the system
display or confirm on the device the PIN

USB/iPod/AUX SUPPORT
There may be two USB ports under the
air conditioner control panel, one in the
glove compartment in the central tunnel
and two (recharge only) under the air
vents behind the central tunnel.
An AUX socket is located inside the glove
compartment in the central tunnel.
NOTE The Connect system may not
support some USB keys: in this case, it
may not automatically switch from
“Radio” mode to “Media” mode. If the
device used does not play, verify its
compatibility by selecting “Media” mode:
a dedicated message will appear on the
Connect system display.
IMPORTANT After using a USB
recharging socket, we recommend
disconnecting the device (smartphone),
always removing the cable from the
vehicle socket first, never from the
device. Cables left flying or connected
incorrectly could compromise correct
recharging and/or the USB socket
condition.
