INTRODUCTION
The car is equipped with an infotelematic system designed according to the specific characteristics of the passenger 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 quickly located 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 the vehicle in which it was
originally fitted.
The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you read them carefully and always keep them to hand (for example, in the
glove compartment).
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this publication at any time, for
technical or marketing purposes. For further information, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.

TIPS, CONTROLS AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
TIPS
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system functions before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system carefully before setting off.
If the volume is too loud this can be
dangerous. Adjust the volume so that you can
still hear background noises (e.g. horns,
ambulances, police vehicles, etc.).
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while driving. Reception
may be interfered with by the presence of mountains, buildings or
bridges, or when you are far away from the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be increased when receiving traffic
alerts and news.
Care and maintenance
Observe the following precautions to ensure the system is fully
operational:
❒the display is sensitive to scratching, liquids and detergents. The
display should not come into contact with pointed or rigid
objects which could damage its surface. Do not press on the
display when cleaning it.
❒prevent any liquid from entering the system: this could be
damaged beyond repair.
Only clean the front panel and the display with
a soft, clean, dry, anti-static cloth. Cleaning and
polishing products may damage the surface. Do
not use alcohol or similar products to clean the panel or
the display.
Important
If there is a problem, the system should only be checked and
repaired by Alfa Romeo Authorised Services.
If the temperature is particularly low, the display may take a while
to reach optimum brightness.
If the car is stopped for a while and the outside temperature is very
high, the system may go into “thermal protection” mode,
suspending operation until the temperature in the passenger
compartment returns to acceptable levels.

CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may cause skipping
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 any fingerprints or dust
using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the circumference and clean
them from the centre towards the edge;
❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic, thinner or spray
cans) for cleaning as they could damage the surface of the CDs;
❒after listening to them place CDs back in their cases to avoid
them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or
moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and do not write on
the recorded surface using pens or pencils;
❒never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked, deformed, etc.
Their use could cause damage the player or make it malfunction.
To achieve the best quality audio reproduction we recommend the
use of original CD supports. Correct operation is not guaranteed
when CD-R/RW media are used that were not correctly burnt
and/or with a maximum capacity above 650 Mb.
IMPORTANT Do not use commercially available protective sheets
for CDs or discs with stabilisers as they could get stuck in the
internal mechanism and damage the disc.
IMPORTANT If a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few
seconds before the system starts to play it. The CD player cannot
be guaranteed to play all protected discs. The presence of copy
protection is often in small letters or may be difficult to read on the
cover of the actual CD and it may say something like, for example,
"COPY CONTROL", "COPY PROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE
PLAYED ON A PC/MAC" or identified through the use of symbols,
such as, for example:
IMPORTANT If a multisession disc is loaded, only the first session
will be played.

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
uconnect™ is equipped with an anti-theft protection system
based on the exchange of information with the electronic control
unit (Body Computer) on the car.
This guarantees maximum safety and prevents the secret code from
being entered after the power supply has been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the system will start to function,
whereas if the comparison codes are not the same or if the
electronic control unit (Body Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the code is requested, the
display will show "Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed by the
video page showing a keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four digits, from 1 to 9: to insert the
first number of the code press the corresponding key on the
display. Enter the other code digits in the same way.
After entering the fourth figure, uconnect™ begins operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the system displays "Incorrect Code.
Please Try Again" to notify the user of the need to enter the correct
code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter the code, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Please wait 30 minutes": the
waiting time is displayed. Once the text has disappeared you can
start the code entering procedure again.
Car radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the system. The car radio
passport shows the system model, serial number and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the car radio passport in a safe place so that
you can give the information to the relevant authorities if the
system is stolen.
In case of loss of the car radio passport, contact the Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services, taking an ID document and the car ownership
documents.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
When update software for the Uconnect
TM
5" Radio system is
available, it will be possible to download it from the
www.alfaromeo.it (for Italy) or www.alfaromeo.com (for other
countries) website, or by contacting Alfa Romeo Authorised

full and rich bass tones that make the loudness function
superfluous.
The complete range of sound is reproduced throughout the entire
passenger compartment so that the occupants are enveloped with
the feeling of space experienced when listening to live music.
The components used have been patented and make use of the
most sophisticated technology whilst at the same time being easy to
use by even the most inexperienced people.
