IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE AND TRAFFIC
SAFETY
The CONNECT system makes the
driver's task easier in controlling the
main functions of the vehicle.
However, to avoid creating danger
for yourself and for others when
using your CONNECT, please pay
attention to the following points:
– the CONNECT system must be
used when you are in full control of
your car; in the event of doubt, stop
to carry out the different operations;
– use of the cell phone is prohibit-
ed near explosive substances.
You are recommended to learn how
to use the different functions of the
CONNECT system and in particular
of the sound system (e.g. storing
radio stations) before starting to
drive.

Too high a volume when
driving can put the dri-
ver's life at risk and that
of other people. Therefore the
volume should always be adjust-
ed in such a way that it is always
possible to hear the noises of the
surrounding environment (e.g.:
horns, ambulance, police sirens,
etc.).
The navigation system allows you
to reach your destination through
the traffic and indicates to you any
change of route memorised on the
navigation CD-ROM. In fact the sys-
tem takes account of all information
concerning the roads when calculat-
ing the route, advising the best way.
However, it does not take into con-
sideration traffic conditions or sud-
den obstructions or any other incon-
venience.
The navigation system
helps the driver while he
drives, by suggesting
vocally or graphically, the opti-
mum routing to reach his preset
destination. Navigation system
suggestions do not excuse the dri-
ver from his full responsibilities
due to his driving behaviour and to
his compliance with road and
other traffic regulations. The
responsibility for road safety
always lies with the vehicle driver,
and it falls on him in any case.
All manoeuvres must be carried out
abiding by the highway code,
regardless of the advice given by the
navigation system. Should you leave
the recommended route, the naviga-
tion system will calculate a new one
for you and suggest it to you.
