ANTITHEFT PROTECTION

To enter the first digit of the code, press

the button corresponding to the

pre-selected stations (from 1 to 6).

Enter the other code digits in the same

way.

Uconnect RADIO

The Uconnect Radio is equipped with

an anti-theft protection system based

on the exchange of information

between the Uconnect Radio and the

electronic control unit (Body Computer)

present on the vehicle.

184) 185) 186) 187) 188) 189) 190) 191) 192) 193)

The Uconnect Radio was designed

according to the specific characteristics

of the passenger compartment, with a

customised design that perfectly

matches matching the style of the

dashboard.

If the four digits are not entered within

20 seconds, the display shows the text

"Enter code - - - -". If this occurs, it is

not considered an incorrect code entry.

After entering the fourth digit (within

20 seconds), the Uconnect Radio will

start to operate.

This system guarantees maximum

safety and prevents the secret code

from being entered each time the

Uconnect Radio power supply is

disconnected.

The instructions for use are given below

and we recommend you to read them

carefully.

If an incorrect code is entered, the

Uconnect Radio will emit a sound and

the display shows the text "Radio

blocked/wait" to notify the user of the

need to enter the correct code.

Each time the user enters an incorrect

code, the waiting time will gradually

increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16

min, 30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h)

up to a maximum of 24 hours.

TIPS

If the check has a positive outcome, the

Uconnect Radio will start to operate,

whereas if the comparison codes

are not the same or if the electronic

control unit (Body Computer) is

replaced, the device will ask the user to

enter the secret code according to

the procedure described in the

paragraph below.

Familiarise yourself with the various

functions of the Uconnect Radio (for

example, storing the stations) before

starting to drive.

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.

Entering the secret code

The waiting time will be shown on the

display with the text "Radio blocked/

wait". After the text has disappeared it

is possible to start the code entering

procedure again.

When the Uconnect Radio is switched

on, if the password is requested, the

display will show "Radio code" for

about 2 seconds, followed by

four dashes "- - - -".

IMPORTANT The volume may be

increased when receiving traffic

bulletins.

The secret code is made up of four

digits from 1 to 6, each corresponding

to one of the dashes.

Vehicle radio passport

This document certifies ownership of

the Uconnect Radio. The radio

passport shows the Uconnect Radio

model, serial number and secret code.

Care and maintenance

Only clean the cover with a soft,

anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing

products may damage the surface.

185

IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in

a safe place so that you can give the

information to the relevant authorities if

the Uconnect Radio is stolen.

In the case of loss of the vehicle radio

passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,

taking an ID document and the vehicle

ownership documents.

188) Warning: looking at the system when

driving can divert attention from the road,

with the risk of accidents or other serious

consequences. Do not change system

settings or enter data non-verbally (using

the manual controls) while driving. Stop the

vehicle in a safe and legal manner before

carrying out these operations. Adopting

these precautions is important since setting

or changing some functions might require

the driver to be distracted away from

the road and remove his or her hands from

the steering wheel.

PANDA UCONNECT APP

To use the Panda Uconnect app you

must download it from the Apple App

Store or from Google Play and pair

the smartphone to the radio via Blu-

etooth®, as described in the "Blu-

etooth® Device” chapter. For the list of

compatible phones, see Fiat elum site.

WARNING

184) If the volume is too loud this could be

dangerous for the driver and for

passengers when driving in traffic. Always

adjust the volume so that you can still

hear background noises.

185) The use of some of the system's

features whilst driving can divert attention

away from the road, with the risk of

causing accidents or other serious

consequences; therefore they must only be

used when the driving conditions allow

and, where necessary, only when the

vehicle is stationary.

The app interface may change

depending on how it is used:

connected or not connected to the car

radio.

189) Voice commands: the system

functions can be carried out using only

voice commands. The use of voice

commands when driving allows you to

manage the system without taking your

hands off the steering wheel.

When it is connected via Blu-

etooth®, you can interact with the

radio through the screen of your smart-

phone. You can listen to you favourite

music by selecting the source, the track

or the radio station desired. You can

also view the phonebook, your car

handbook and, if necessary, call for

assistance.

When it is not connected, you can

have all the information about the state

of your car with my:Car and indications

about your driving style with eco:Drive.

You can also find your car easily if

you do not remember where you

parked it.

186) Read and follow these instructions:

before using your system, read and follow

all the safety information and instructions in

this manual. Failure to observe the

precautions found in this manual may lead

to an accident or other serious

190) Looking at the display for a long time:

while driving, do not use any function

that requires looking at the display for a

long time. Pull over in a safe and legal

manner before attempting to access a

function of the system that requires

prolonged attention. Even occasional quick

glances at the display can be dangerous

if the driver's attention is diverted at a

critical moment.

consequences.

187) Keep the manual in the car: if it is kept

in the car, the manual will become

something quick and easy to consult for

those not familiar with the system. Ensure

that everyone has access to the manual

and reads the instructions and the safety

information carefully before using the

system for the first time.

191) Setting the volume: do not turn the

volume up too high. When driving, keep the

volume at a level that allows you to hear

the traffic outside and emergency sirens.

Driving while unable to hear these sounds

may cause an accident.

199

192) Using the voice recognition: the voice

recognition software is based on a

statistical process that is subject to error. It

is your responsibility to monitor voice

recognition functions included in the

system and address any errors.

193) Danger of distraction: the functions

may require manual settings (not using

voice commands). Attempting to perform

such setup or insert data while driving

can seriously distract your attention and

could cause an accident or other serious

consequences. Stop the vehicle in a safe

and legal manner before carrying out these

operations.
