CONNECT NAV+
IMPORTANT NOTES
– In the event of a fault the CON-
NECT Nav+ should be checked and
repaired only at Fiat Dealership.
– 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.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 skippingwhen playing
and poor sound quality. The same hap-
pens if Compact Discsare bent by ac-
cident.
IMPORTANTNever use 8 cm au-
dio or MP3 CDs, even with the spe-
cial adapter, since this format damages
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. Be careful not to knock the
display with pointed or
hard objects and avoid
touching with the hands. Do not
press on the display when cleaning.
