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 alerts
and news.CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
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

repair.
105) 106)
MULTIMEDIA DEVICES
IMPORTANT Some multimedia players
may not be compatible with the
Uconnect™.
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 is made up of four
digits, from 0 to 9: to insert the code,
turn the "BROWSE ENTER" right knob
and press to confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the
"BROWSE ENTER" right knob: the
system will start to operate.

eco:Drive™
Theeco:Drive™ application allows you
to display your driving behaviour in real
time, in order to help you achieve 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 (for Italy) or www.fiat.com
(for other countries) or
www.driveuconnect.eu
Driving style is evaluated by means of
four indices which monitor the following
parameters:
Acceleration
Deceleration
Transmission
Speed
Display of the eco:Drive™
Press the eco:Drive™ button to
interact with the function. A screen will
be displayed 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). 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 car is
restarted.
Recording and transferring trip data
The trip data can be stored in the
system memory and transferred
through a properly configured USB
memory stick or by the
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.
For further information visit the
www.driveuconnect.eu website
IMPORTANT Do not remove the USB
memory stick nor unpair the
smartphone and the
Uconnect™LIVE
App before the system has
downloaded the data, since these
could be lost. During the transfer of
data to the devices, Uconnect™
messages may appear on the display
to guide the user correctly through the
operation; follow these instructions.
These messages are only displayed
with the ignition device at STOP and
when a delay in the Uconnect™
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 transfer
mode (USB or Cloud), as required.
When the USB memory stick is full, the
dedicated messages are shown on the
Uconnect™
system display.
When the eco:Drive™ data have not
been transferred to the USB key for a
while, the Uconnect™ system internal
memory could become saturated: in
this case, follow the recommendations
provided by the messages on the
display.
my:Car
my:Car allows you to keep the
condition of your car always under
control. The my:Carapplication is
capable of detecting malfunctioning in
real time and lets the driver know about
the expiry of maintenance coupons, To
interact with the application, press "
my:Car" button: a screen will appear
on the display showing the "care:Index"
section which contains detailed
information on car status. Press the
