TIPS, CONTROLS
AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
ROAD SAFETY
169) 170)
Learn how to use the various system
functions before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system
carefully before setting off.
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
85) 86)
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.
never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the display lens.
Prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
MULTIMEDIA DEVICES
IMPORTANT Some multimedia player
may not be compatible with the
Uconnect™ system.
Only use devices (e.g. USB flash drives)
from safe sources on the car. 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.
ANTITHEFT 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 number the
system will start functioning.
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. Wait for
30 minutes". After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.

Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle 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.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
IMPORTANT NOTES
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.
WARNING
169)Follow the safety rules here below:
otherwise serious injuries may occur to the
occupants or the system may be
damaged.
170)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.).
WARNING
85)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.
86)Do not use the display as a base for
supports with suction pads or adhesives
for external navigators or smartphones
or similar devices.
