Radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial
number and secret code.
WARNING 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.
In case of loss of the car radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.Important notes
In the event of a failure, the system
should only be checked and repaired at
a Fiat Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low,
the display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
If the vehicle is stopped for a while and
the external temperature is very high,
the system may go into “thermal
protection” mode, suspending
operation until the temperature in the
passenger compartment 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.
USB SOURCE
To activate USB mode, insert an
appropriate device into the vehicle USB
port (fig. 61).
IMPORTANT After using a USB
recharging socket, we recommend
always disconnecting the device
(smartphone) by removing the cable
from the vehicle socket first, never
from the device (fig. 61).
Cables left flying or connected
incorrectly could compromise correct
recharging and/or the USB socket
condition.

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
mileage) and average speed will be
shown.

Recording and transferring
trip data
The trip data can be stored in the
system memory and transferred using
a suitably configured USB memory
stick or by Uconnect™ LIVE app.
This allows you to display the history of
the collected data, showing the
complete analysis of the trip data and
of your driving style.
Further information is available at
www.driveuconnect.eu.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the USB
memory stick nor unpair the
smartphone and the Uconnect™ LIVE
App before the system has
downloaded the data, otherwise it
could be lost.
During the transfer of data to the
devices, messages may appear on the
radio display to guide the user
correctly through the operation; follow
these instructions. These messages
are only displayed with the ignition key
at STOP and when a delay in the
system switching off is set.
The data are automatically transferred
to the devices when the engine is
switched off. Transferred data will be
deleted from the system memory in
this manner. You can choose to store the trip data
or not, by pressing the “Settings”
button and by setting the storage
activation and the USB or Cloud
transfer mode.
REMARKS
When the USB memory stick is full, the
warning messages are shown on the
radio display.
When the eco:Drive™ data are not
transferred to USB memory stick for a
long time, the internal memory of the
Uconnect™ LIVE system may be
exhausted. Follow the instructions
given by the messages on the radio
display.
my:Car
my:Car allows you to keep the “health”
of your vehicle always under control.
my:Car can detect malfunction in real
time and inform the user about the
expiry of the servicing interval. Press
the “my:Car” button to interact with the
application.
The display will show a screen with the
“care:Index” section, which provides all
the detailed information about the
status of the vehicle. Press the “Active
