ADVICE

Road safety

You are advised to learn how to use thevarious radio functions (e.g.: storing sta-tions) before starting to drive.

Reception conditions

Reception conditions change constantlywhen driving. Reception may be disturbedby the presence of mountains, buildings orbridges particularly when far away fromthe station being listened to.

IMPORTANT When receiving traffic in-formation, the volume may be higher thannormal.

IIIINNNNTTTTRRRROOOODDDDUUUUCCCCTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN

The vehicle sound system, fitted with CDplayer (radio with Compact Disc player) orMP3 CD player (radio with MP3 CD play-er) has been designed in accordance withthe special features of the passenger com-partment, with a personalised design thatblends with the style of the dashboard. Thesound system cannot be adapted to othervehicles and for this reason it cannot be re-moved.

The radio is installed in a user-friendly po-sition for the driver and passenger and thegraphics on the front panel make locationof the controls quick, facilitating use.

The CD Changer is available at Lineacces-sori Fiat.

In the following pages you will find the in-structions for use, which you are advisedto read through carefully. The instructionsalso contain the procedure for controllingthe CD Changer (if provided) through theradio. For the instructions for use of theCD Changer refer to the specific manual.

Too high a volume when dri-ving can put the driver’s life at

risk and that of other people. There-fore the volume should always be ad-justed in such a way that it is alwayspossible to hear the noises of the sur-rounding environment (e.g.: horns, am-bulance, police sirens, etc.).

❒ to receive traffic information althoughCD player or CD Changer are beingused;

❒ to receive traffic information at a pre-defined minimum volume even with theradio volume off.

IMPORTANT In certain countries radiostations exist which, even if the TP func-tion is on (the display shows “TP”), do nottransmit traffic information.

If the radio is working in the AM band,when TA is activated, it passes to the FM1band on the last station heard.

AF function (alternative frequency search)

Within the RDS system the radio canwork in two different modes:

❒ “AF ON”: alternative frequency searchon (the display shows “AF”);

❒ “AF OFF”: alternative frequency searchoff.

With “AF ON”, the radio is automatical-ly tuned to the station with the strongestsignal that is broadcasting the same pro-gramme. During the journey it will thus bepossible to continue listening to the sta-tion chosen without having to change thefrequency when changing area.

This system warrants the highest level ofsecurity and prevents entry of the secretcode every time the radio supply is dis-connected.

If the result of the check is positive, theset starts working, whereas if the com-parison codes are not the same or if theelectronic control unit (Body Computer)is replaced, the device informs the user ofthe need to enter the secret code ac-cording to the procedure described in thefollowing paragraph.
