INTRODUCTIONThe car is equipped with an infotelematic system designed according to the specific characteristics of thepassenger 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 quicklylocated 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 thevehicle in which it was originally fitted.The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you read them carefully and always keep themto hand (for example, in the glove compartment).Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!The information in this publication is provided by way of example.

The display should not come intocontact with pointed or rigid objects which coulddamage its surface. Do not press on the displaywhen cleaning it.❒prevent any liquid from entering the system: thiscould be damaged beyond repair.Only clean the front panel and the displaywith a soft, clean, dry, anti-static cloth.Cleaning and polishing products maydamage the surface. Do not use alcohol or similarproducts to clean the panel or the display.276
ImportantIn the event of a failure, the system should only bechecked and repaired at a Fiat Dealership.If the temperature is particularly low, the display maytake a while to reach optimum brightness.If the car is stopped for a while and the outsidetemperature is very high, the system may go into“thermal protection” mode, suspending operationuntil the temperature in the passenger compartmentreturns to acceptable levels.CDDirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may causeskipping 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 anyfingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs bythe circumference and clean them from the centretowards the edge;❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic,thinner or spray cans) for cleaning as they coulddamage the surface of the CDs;❒after listening to them place CDs back in theircases to avoid them being damaged;❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, hightemperatures or moisture for long periods;❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD anddo not write on the recorded surface using pensor pencils;❒never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,deformed, etc. Their use could cause damage theplayer or make it malfunction.To achieve the best quality audio reproduction werecommend the use of original CD supports. Correctoperation is not guaranteed when CD-R/RW mediaare used that were not correctly burnt and/or with amaximum capacity above 650 Mb.277
IMPORTANT Do not use commercially availableprotective sheets for CDs or discs with stabilisers asthey could get stuck in the internal mechanism anddamage the disc.IMPORTANT If a copy-protected CD is used, it maytake a few seconds before the system starts to playit. The CD player cannot be guaranteed to play allprotected discs. The presence of copy protection isoften in small letters or may be difficult to read onthe cover of the actual CD and it may say somethinglike, for example, "COPY CONTROL", "COPYPROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYEDON A PC/MAC" or identified through the use ofsymbols, such as, for example:IMPORTANT If a multisession disc is loaded, only thefirst session will be played.MULTIMEDIA DEVICES: SUPPORTEDAUDIO FILES AND FORMATSFor CD, USB and iPod sources the system can playfiles with the following extensions and formats:❒.MP3 (32 – 320Kbps);❒.WAV;❒.WMA (5 – 320Kbps) mono and stereo;❒.AAC (8 – 96KHz) mono and stereo;❒.M4A (8 – 96KHz) mono and stereo;❒.M4B (8 – 96KHz) mono and stereo;❒.MP4 (8 – 96KHz) mono and stereo.For all sources (CD, AUX, iPod and Bluetooth ®),the system can also play the following Playlistformats:❒.M3U❒.PLS❒.WPLNOTE It makes no difference whether the suffixesare written in capital or small letters.278
