INTRODUCTIONThe car is equipped with an infotelematic system designed according to the specific characteristics of the
passenger compartment, with a customised design that matches the style of dashboard.
The system is installed in an ergonomic position for the driver and passenger, and controls can be quickly
located from the graphical display on the front, making the device easy to use.
To increase protection against theft, the system has a protection system that only allows it to be used on the
vehicle in which it was originally fitted.
The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you read them carefully and always keep them
to hand (for example, in the glove compartment).
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
The information in this publication is provided by way of example. Fiat Group
Automobiles S.p.A. can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this
publication at any time, for technical or marketing purposes. For further information,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

TIPS, CONTROLS AND GENERAL
INFORMATIONTIPS
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system functions
before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system carefully before
setting off.
WARNING
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 .).
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while driving.
Reception may be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges, or when you are far
away from the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be increased when
receiving traffic alerts and news.Care and maintenance
Observe the following precautions to ensure the
system is fully operational:
❒the display is sensitive to scratching, liquids and
detergents. The display should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects which could
damage its surface. Do not press on the display
when cleaning it.
❒prevent any liquid from entering the system: this
could be damaged beyond repair.
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 panel or the display.
Important
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 car is stopped for a while and the outside
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.

CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may cause
skipping during playback and poor sound quality.
Follow these tips for optimum playback conditions:
❒only use CDs with the following mark:❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by
the circumference and clean them from the centre
towards the edge;
❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic,
thinner or spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;
❒after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and
do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;
❒never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,
deformed, etc. Their use could cause damage the
player or make it malfunction.To achieve the best quality audio reproduction we
recommend the use of original CD supports. Correct
operation is not guaranteed when CD-R/RW media
are used that were not correctly burnt and/or with a
maximum capacity above 650 Mb.
IMPORTANT Do not use commercially available
protective sheets for CDs or discs with stabilisers as
they could get stuck in the internal mechanism and
damage the disc.
IMPORTANT If a copy-protected CD is used, it may
take a few seconds before the system starts to play
it. The CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The presence of copy protection is
often in small letters or may be difficult to read on
the cover of the actual CD and it may say something
like, for example, "COPY CONTROL", "COPY
PROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED
ON A PC/MAC" or identified through the use of
symbols, such as, for example:
IMPORTANT If a multisession disc is loaded, only the
first session will be played.

EXTERNAL AUDIO SOURCES
Other electronic devices (e.g. iPod, PDA, etc...) can
be used on the car.
Some of them can however cause electromagnetic
interference. Disconnect these devices if the system
performance worsens.
NOTE The system supports only FAT32-formatted
USB devices. The system does not support devices
with a capacity higher than 64 Gb.
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
uconnect™ is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange of
information with the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) on the car.
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 function, 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 video page showing a
keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits, from 1 to
9: to insert the first number of the code press the
corresponding key on the display. Enter the other
code digits in the same way.
After entering the fourth figure,uconnect™ begins
operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Please Try Again" 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 30 minutes": the waiting time is displayed. Once
the text has disappeared you can start the code
entering procedure again.
