TRIP COMPUTER
Press the "Trip" button (see fig. 13) to display the trip
information of the car.
This function allows you to display the consumption
levels and define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car's "complete
journey" in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey): to reset the desired "Trip" hold down the
"Trip A" or "Trip B" buttons.

CLOCK
Press the "Clock" button (see fig. 13) to display the
clock.
eco:Drive
The eco:Drive application (fig. 14) allows the driver
to monitor their driving style in order to achieve
more efficient driving in terms of fuel economy and
emissions reduction.
Monitoring appears on the display in real time; it is
however possible to access detailed overall
information by consulting the eco:Drive site (see
paragraph "Data transfer").
The assessment of driving style is indicated by 4
indices which are assessed as optimal when the
"eco"-driving style criteria below are complied with:❒Acceleration/Deceleration: avoid abrupt
acceleration/deceleration, favouring gradual
increases/decreases in speed.
❒Gearbox: use the gear most suited to the road
conditions, in order to optimise fuel consumption
(on versions with automatic transmission, using
"Auto" mode, this parameter is not displayed).
❒Speed: adopt a driving style which maintains, above
all on traffic-free roads, the most appropriate,
constant driving speed, anticipating any
deceleration due to uneven road surfaces or traffic
conditions.
NOTES
The values measured are not directly connected to
instant fuel consumption but are intended to suggest
how the driver can alter their driving style in order
to reduce consumption.
Different journeys may have different values even
though the driver maintains the same driving style,
since they are affected by factors such as traffic
conditions, length of journey and cold starting.
An "eco:Drive" is a more "fluid" drive, even if traffic
conditions often inhibit this. A more "aggressive"
drive, on the other hand, implies frequent
acceleration/deceleration with resulting increased fuel
consumption and harmful emissions.

Activation
Press the "eco:Drive" button (see fig. 13) to interact
with the function.
To activate the function press the "eco:Drive ON"
button.
A screen will be displayed (see fig. 15) showing the 4
indices described above.
These indexes are grey until the system has sufficient
data to evaluate the driving style or in the event of
long stops.
Once sufficient data are available, the indexes will
have 4 colours depending on the evaluation: green
(very good), yellow, orange and red (very bad).
With reference to the fig. 15 "Current index" refers
to the overall average value of the indices described
calculated in real time, indicating the eco-
sustainability of the driving style, from 0 (low) to 100
(high).To check the data average of previous trip (the "trip"
starts when the ignition key is turned to MAR and
stops when it is turned to STOP), select the
"Previous Trip" button (see fig. 16).
Deactivation
Press the "eco:Drive Off" button to deactivate the
function.
Data transfer
The trip data is saved in the system’s memory. By
correctly configuring a USB drive and going to the
eco:Drive site, the history of trips can be archived in
a personal profile and the overall analysis of the trip
data and driving style can be consulted.
Do not remove the USB stick until the system has
downloaded the data since they might be lost
completely or partially.

During the transfer of data to the USB drive,
messages may appear on the display to guide the user
correctly through the operation; follow these
instructions.
These messages are only displayed with ignition key
in STOP position and system off delay longer than 0
minutes.
NOTES
Warning messages will be displayed when the USB
storage device is full.
When the eco:Drive data is not transferred to USB
storage device for a long time, the internal memory
of theuconnect™ system may be exhausted.
Warning messages will also be displayed in these
circumstances: it will be necessary to connect the
USB storage device configured for eco:Drive in order
not to lose the saved data.

VOICE COMMANDSUSE OF THE VOICE COMMANDS
Please follow the suggestions below to be sure that
the voice commands are always recognised by the
system:
❒speak at a normal volume;
❒always wait for the "beep" before speaking;

commands given, irrespective of gender, by the
tone of voice and intonation of the person giving
the instructions;
❒if possible, try and keep the noise in the passenger
compartment to a minimum;
❒before giving voice commands, ask other
passengers not to talk. This is to prevent
misunderstanding since the system may recognise
other words (in addition to or different from your
voice command) if several people are speaking;
❒for optimum operation it is advisable to close the
windows and the sun roof (for versions/markets,
where provided) to avoid external interference.
IMPORTANT Voice commands must always be given
in safe driving conditions, in compliance with the laws
in force in the country where you are driving and
using the mobile phone correctly.USE OF STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO
