TIPS, CONTROLS

AND GENERAL INFO

ROAD SAFETY

171) 172)

Learn how to use the various system

functions before setting off.

Read the instructions for the system

carefully 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.

WARNING The volume may be

increased when receiving traffic

information and news.

NOTE The DAB frequency can be used

in countries where digital transmission

technology is available. The device

will tuned to any frequency if the DAB

button is pressed in a country where

the service is not provided.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

76) 77)

Observe the following precautions to

ensure the system is fully operational:

the display lens should not come into

contact with pointed or rigid objects

which could damage its surface; use a

soft, dry anti-static cloth to clean and

do not press.

do not use alcohol, petrol and

derived products them to clean the

display lens and make sure that the

UconnectTM

system is switched off

during cleaning.

prevent any liquid from entering the

system: this could damage it beyond

repair.

MULTIMEDIA DEVICES

WARNING Some multimedia players

may not be compatible with the

Uconnect™

system.

Only use devices (e.g. USB flash drives)

from safe sources on the car.
NOTE The system supports FAT32 and

exFAT formatted USB devices only.

The system does not support devices

with a capacity higher than 64 GB.
Devices from unknown sources could

contain software infected by viruses

which, if installed on the car, could

increase the vulnerability of the car's

electric/electronic systems to hacking.

ANTI-THEFT

PROTECTION

The system is equipped with an

anti-theft protection system based on

the exchange of information with the

electronic control unit (Body Computer)

on the vehicle.

This guarantees maximum safety and

prevents the secret code from being

entered after the power supply has

been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome,

the 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 system will ask the user to enter

the secret code according to the

procedure described in the paragraph

below.

Entering the secret code

When the system is switched on, if the

code is requested, the display will show

"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed

by the screen showing a keypad

to enter the secret code. The secret

code has four numbers from 0 to 9:

to insert the code numbers, rotate the

BROWSE/ENTER dial and press to

confirm.
After entering the fourth digit, the

system begins operating. If an incorrect

code is entered, the system displays

"Incorrect Code" to notify the user of

the need to enter the correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to

enter the code, the system displays

"Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Please

wait for 30 minutes". After the text has

221

disappeared it is possible to start the

code entering procedure again.

Car radio passport

This document certifies ownership of

the system. The car radio passport

shows the system model, serial

number and secret code.
In case of loss of the car radio

passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,

taking an ID document and the car

ownership documents.

WARNING Keep the car radio passport

in a safe place so that you can give the

information to the relevant authorities if

the system is stolen.

WARNINGS

In the event of a fault, the system must

only be checked and repaired by a Fiat

Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low,

the display may take a while to reach

optimum brightness.
If the car is stopped for a while and

the external temperature is very high,

the system may go into "thermal

protection" mode, suspending

operation until the radio temperature

returns to acceptable levels.
Look at the screen only and when it

is necessary and safe. If you need to

look at the screen for a long time, pull

over to a safe place so as not to be

distracted while driving.
Immediately stop using the system

in the event of a fault. Otherwise the

system might be damaged. Contact a

Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to

have the system repaired.

171)

Follow the safety rules here below:

otherwise serious injuries may occur to

the occupants or the system may be

damaged.

172)

If the volume is too loud this can

be dangerous. Adjust the volume so that

you can still hear background noises (e.g.

horns, ambulances, police vehicles, etc.).

76)

Only clean the front panel and the

display with a soft, clean, dry, anti-static

cloth. Cleaning and polishing products

may damage the surface. Do not use

alcohol or similar products to clean the

control panel or the display.

77)

Do not use the display as a base for

supports with suction pads or adhesives

for external navigators or smartphones or

similar devices.
