SOUND SYSTEM
TELEPHONE SETUP
If a hands-free kit is installed on the car,
when there is an incoming phone call the
car radio audio will be connected to the tele-
phone output. The telephone volume is al-
ways fixed, but it can be adjusted during a
conversation using the left knob A(fig.1).
The fixed telephone audio volume can be
adjusted using the “SPEECH VOLUME” func-
tion in the Menu. The word PHONE will ap-
pear on the display during the deactivation
of the audio for the phone call.
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft pro-
tection system based on the exchange of in-
formation between the car radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer) on
the vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum security
and avoids the password having to be en-
tered every time after the radio power sup-
ply is disconnected.
If the outcome of the check is positive, the
radio will start to work, whilst if the codes
compared are not the same or if the elec-
tronic control unit (Body Computer) is re-
placed, the equipment will notify the user of
the need to enter the password following the
procedure in the paragraph below.
Entering the code
When the radio is switched on, if the pass-
word is requested, the display will show “Ra-
dio code” for about 2 seconds followed by
four dashes “- - - -”.
The code is made up of four numbers from
1 to 6, each corresponding to one of the
dashes.
To enter the first number, press the button
corresponding to the preset stations (from
1 to 6). Enter the other code numbers in the
same way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20
seconds, the display will show “Enter code
- - - -”. If this occurs, it is not considered an
incorrect code entry.

Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD
ROM has been inserted or the CD is insert-
ed the wrong way round or there is read-
ing error) the display will show the words
“CD Disc error”.
The CD will then be ejected and the audio
source activated prior to the CD mode selec-
tion will be heard.
With an external audio source activated (TA,
ALARM or Phone), the CD that cannot be
read will be not be ejected until these func-
tions have ended. At the end, with the CD
mode activated, the display will show the
words “CD Disc error” for a few seconds and
then the CD will be ejected.
DISPLAY INFORMATION

will show the following information:
❍“CD Track 5”: indicating the number of

vant Menu function is activated).
