– In case of particularly low temper-
atures the display might take a certain
time to reach the optimum brightness.
– In the case of prolonged parking
with high outside temperature, the au-
tomatic thermal protection of the sys-
tem may come into action suspend-
ing operation until the passenger com-
partment temperature falls to accept-
able levels.
SYSTEM SOFTWARE
UPDATING
When new versions are available for
the software of the navigation module,
the system can be updated to benefit
of the improvements made for con-
trolling certain functions.
Software updating is to be seen to by
specialised staff of the Fiat Dealer-
ship.COMPACT DISC
If a Compact Disc is used on the
sound system, remember that the
presence of dirt or marks on Compact
Discs may cause skipping when play-
ing and poor sound quality. The same
happens if Compact Discs are bent by
accident.
IMPORTANTNever use 8 mm au-
dio or MP3 CDs, even with the spe-
cific adapter, since this format will
damage the system.
To obtain optimum playing condi-
tions we give the following advice:
– Only use Audio Compact Discs
with the brand:
– Carefully clean all Compact Discs
of any fingerprints and dust using a soft
cloth. Support Compact Discs on the
edges and clean from the centre out-
wards.
Always hold a Compact Disc by the
edge. Never touch the surface.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR
USE AND ROAD SAFETY
The CONNECT system makes it
possible to easily control the main
functions of the vehicle.
To avoid creating dangerous situa-
tions for yourself and others in use of
the system, please pay attention to the
following points:
– the system must be used keeping
full control of the vehicle; in the case
of doubt in the use of the functions,
it is necessary to stop before per-
forming the various operations;
– use of the cell phone is prohibited
near explosive substances.
The navigation system allows you to
reach your destination, indicating each
route change stored on the navigation
CD-ROM. In fact, in calculating the
route, the system takes into account
of all the information stored concern-
ing the roads, advising the best route.
However it cannot take account of the
traffic, sudden interruptions or any
other inconvenience.In carrying out any manoeuvre it is
always necessary to follow the rules of
the road, regardless of the advice giv-
en by the navigation system. If you
leave the suggested route, the naviga-
tion system will calculate a new one
and suggest it to you.SYSTEM POWER ON
The system can be switched on ac-
cording to two different methods:
automatic switching onwith ig-
nition key to MAR;
manual switching on:
– by pressing knob 16-fig. 1;
– with direct access to SOS menu by
pressing button
•25-fig. 1.
Automatic switching on
Turning the ignition key to MARwill
turn the system on automatically, thus
activating or making available all the
functions described in this manual.
The navigation system
helps the driver while dri-
ving by suggesting, vocally and
graphically, the best route to be fol-
lowed to reach the preset destina-
tion. The suggestions given by the
navigation system do not exempt
the driver from full responsibility
due to driving behaviour and com-
pliance with road and other traffic
regulations. The responsibility for
road safety always and anyway lies
with the vehicle’s driver.

SERIAL - MODEM
(data interface)
This function enables to connect an
external device (e.g.: portable com-
puter) to the CONNECT Nav system
that in this case will act as a modem.
To implement such configuration the
link between the external device and
the CONNECT Nav system connec-
tion (to be found in central position
under the dashboard) shall be per-
formed using the cable provided with
the system.
The max. data transmission speed is
that provided for the cellular tele-
phone mode (TEL) and is equal to 9.6
Kbps, as established by the commu-
nication with GSM cell network.
During data transmission (modem
function on), the CONNECT Nav
condition is the following:
– telephone mode off (TEL-OFF);
– incoming calls blocked;– call forwarding blocked;
– navigator (NAV) function can be
activated; if navigation is on data trans-
mission can be slow;
– all audio functions (radio, CD) can
be activated
– emergency call can be forwarded
by pressing •25-fig. 1.
IMPORTANTThe modem func-
tion cannot be activated during a call.IMPORTANTPress button •to
abort the modem function; the system
will restore the GSM telephone mode
for the selected function and will re-
quest to enter the PIN code; data ex-
changed during transmission will be
lost (unless data back-up have been
performed by user’s computer appli-
cations).
The modem function will not be re-
stored automatically by the system
when the emergency or service call is
over. To restore it repeat the proce-
dure from the beginning.

FLEET MANAGEMENT
When choosing this function, the
CONNECT Nav system sends auto-
matically SMS messages (to a suitable
preset receiver, e.g. a control centre)
containing the position of the vehicle
mounting the CONNECT Nav.
SMS messages are structured as fol-
lows:
– vehicle location (latitude and lon-
gitude)
– city (only with navigation CD in-
serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– street (only with navigation CD in-
serted; if no CD is inserted, the field
is empty)
– time and date
– vehicle ID (number plate).Example: LT:-2.30000;LG:-2.40000; #Benevento;#
Via Basilio Giannelli;#S:30;M:20; H:19;ND:2;D:02;MH:10;Y:2001;#BR757AM;#
To activate the FLEET MANAGE-
MENT function, proceed as follows:
– press the “MAIN” button 17-fig. 1
to display the main screen;
– turn and press the knob 22-fig. 1
to select and confirm “CONNECT”;
the display will show the “CON-
NECT” menu;
– turn and press the knob 22-fig. 1
to select and confirm “FLEET MAN-
AGEMENT” fig. 11; the screen in
fig. 12will be displayed; Latitude: -2.30000

If the navigation CD is inserted, the
vehicle position is processed matching
coordinates with system maps.
In any case, navigation CD absence,
does not impair system operation.
The system will send the SMS message
even if the GPS coverage is temporari-
ly missing; in this case the vehicle posi-
tion is calculated through the “dead
reckoning” procedure.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The navigator integrated in the
CONNECT system allows you to
reach the chosen destination by visu-
al and voice instructions. Use of the
navigation system is quick, convenient,
safe and above all very flexible because
it allows you to call up already pro-
grammed destinations or points of ref-
erence such as hotels, monuments,
public structures, fuel stations orFi-
at Dealerships.
The vehicle position is determined
through the GPS system (Global Posi-
tioning System) installed on the vehi-
cle. The GPS system is fitted with an
antenna and a reception module inte-
grated in the telematic system. This
system configuration dynamically
processes the satellite signals and
those provided by the vehicle system,
integrating them with the current po-
sition of the vehicle to obtain an “es-
timated vehicle point”.The navigation system helps the dri-
ver while he drives by suggesting vo-
cally and graphically the optimum rout-
ing to reach the preset destination.
The navigation system suggestions do
not exempt the driver from full re-
sponsibility due to his driving behav-
iour and to compliance with road and
other traffic regulations. The respon-
sibility for road safety always and in
any case lies with the vehicle driver.IMPORTANT NOTES
– GPS reception is difficult under
trees, among tall buildings, in multi-lev-
el car parks, tunnels and everywhere
reception of the satellite antenna may
be hindered.
– The GPS system needs about 15
minutes for activation if the vehicle
battery is disconnected.
– The GPS system needs a few min-
utes to determine the new position of
the vehicle if it is turned off and the ve-
hicle is moved with the system off (e.g.:
on ferryboat).
– The GPS satellite aerial must not
be covered with metal or damp ob-
jects.
The instantaneous vehicle position is
identified in the CD-ROM and shown
on the display together with the topo-
graphic characteristics of the area
memorised on the CD-ROM. Access
to data on the CD-ROM requires a
few moments waiting for the map dis-
plays.

IMPORTANT NOTES
– Accurate self-adjustment of the nav-
igation system requires approx. 100
km of travel the first time and when
tyres are changed; during this stage the
calculated position could be less accu-
rate.
– Continuous lack of grip at the
wheels (for example skidding on ice),
makes the system temporarily detect
an incorrect position.The navigation system is completely
managed by the telematic system,
therefore the only operations that may
be required are replacement of the
CD-ROM to set the map of another
area or an updated map.
Access to the navigation main func-
tions is gained by short push on
“NAV” 20-fig. 1.
A long push on the “NAV” key 20-
fig. 1turns the NAV MUTE function
on and therefore voice instructions will
be muted. To turn the NAV MUTE
function off, press again the “NAV” key
20-fig. 1at length.Each time you start the engine and se-
lect the navigation function, the display
will show the cautions for using the sys-
tem; the text displayed is as follows:
“The FIAT navigation system guides
you in traffic and helps you reach your
destination. Local traffic regulations
must take precedence over the ma-
noeuvres indicated by the navigation
system. The driver is responsible for
operating the vehicle and observing all
traffic regulations”.
This page will not be displayed as long
as the ignition key is to MAR.
