light Alfa Romeo MiTo 2014 Owners Manual

CLEANING ALCANTARA SEATSAlcantara trim can be treated and cleaned easily in the same way as
the other trims. The same indications given for cleaning fabrics are
also therefore applicable for this trim.LEATHER SEATS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp cloth, without
exercising too much pressure. Remove liquid or oil stains using a dry
absorbent cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth or
buckskin cloth dampened with water and neutral soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the cleaning products
used contain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTSClean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if possible made from
microfibre), and a solution of water and neutral, non-abrasive
detergent. To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products free
from solvents and designed to maintain the original appearance
and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not recommended as these may
leave residues.LEATHER PARTS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and neutral soap to clean these parts. Never use
alcohol or alcohol-based products. Before using a specific product for
cleaning interiors, make sure that it does not contain alcohol and/or
alcohol based substances.

RIGHT HAND DRIVE VERSIONS

INTRODUCTIONThe radio has been designed according to the passenger
compartment's specific characteristics and with a personalised
design that complements the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We recommend that you
read them carefully.ADVICERoad safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car radio functions (e.g.
storing radio 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, or when you are far away from the broadcaster.
NoteThe volume may be increased when receiving traffic alerts
and news.
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.
Maintenance and care
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth. Cleaning and
polishing products may damage the surface.
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 or thinner 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;
239SOUND-SYSTEM

LOUDNESS FUNCTIONThe Loudness function improves the volume of the sound whilst
listening at low volumes, increasing the bass and treble.
To activate/deactivate the function, select the Loudness setting of
the AUDIO menu using the
or

The condition of the function (on or off) is shown on the display for
a few seconds by the wording “Loudness On” or “Loudness Off”.
PRESET/USER/CLASSIC/ROCK/JAZZ
FUNCTIONS(equaliser activation/deactivation)
The built-in equaliser can be activated/deactivated. When the
equaliser function is off, the audio settings can only be changed by
adjusting the “Bass” and “Treble” settings, whereas when the
function is on, the acoustic curves can be adjusted.
To deactivate the equaliser, select the “EQ Preset” function using the
buttons
or
.
To activate the equaliser, use the
or
buttons to select one of
the adjustments:
❒“FM/AM/CD...EQ User” (adjustment of 7 equaliser bands that
can be changed by the user);
❒“Classic” (equaliser preset for optimal classical music sound);
❒“Rock” (equaliser preset for optimal rock and pop music sound);
❒“Jazz” (equaliser preset for optimal jazz music sound).
When one of the equaliser settings is activated the letters “EQ”

or
button and press the MENU button.
A 7-bar graph appears on the display, in which each bar
represents a frequency.

or
buttons; the selected bar
will start to flash and it can be adjusted using the
or
buttons.
To store the setting, press the AUDIO button again. The display will
show the active source at that time followed by the word “USER”. If
the mode is “FM”, for example, the display will show the text “FM
EQ User”.
MENUMENU button functions

❒TRAFFIC INFORMATION (ON/OFF);
❒REGIONAL MODE regional programmes (ON/OFF);
❒MP3 DISPLAY (CD MP3 display settings);
249SOUND-SYSTEM

❒SPEED VOLUME (speed-dependent automatic volume control);
❒RADIO ON VOLUME (radio volume limit
activation/deactivation);
❒SPEECH VOLUME (telephone volume adjustment) (for
versions/markets, where provided);
❒AUX OFFSET (alignment of the portable device volume to that of
the other sources) (for versions/markets, where provided);
❒RADIO OFF (switching-off mode);
❒SYSTEM RESET
Press the MENU button again to exit the Menu function.
NoteThe AF SWITCHING, TRAFFIC INFORMATION and
REGIONAL MODE adjustments are only possible in FM mode.AF SWITCHING function(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes using RDS:
❒“AF Switching On”: search for alternative frequencies active (the
letters “AF” appear on the display);
❒“AF Switching Off”: search for alternative frequencies not active.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the function:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF Switching On”;
❒press the
/
buttons to activate/deactivate the function.
When the function is activated, the radio automatically tunes into
the station with the strongest signal broadcasting the same
programme. While driving, the same station can be continuously
listened to without having to change the frequency when you
change zones.Obviously, it must be possible to receive the station that you are
listening to in the area you are driving through.
If the AF function has been activated, “AF” will light up in the
display.
If the AF function has been activated and the radio is not able to
receive the current station, the radio activates the automatic search,
during which “FM Search” appears on the display (only for top-of-
the-range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining RDS functions,
such as the display of the station name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION function(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMA) can
broadcast information about traffic conditions. In this case the
letters “TA” appear on the display.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA function on/off:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select “Traffic info”;
❒press the
/
buttons to activate/deactivate the function.
If the TA function has been activated, the “TA” icon lights up on the
display.
NoteIf the TA function is activated with an audio source other
than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio
can carry out an automatic search and therefore it is possible,
when reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that the frequency
tuned into is different from the one previously set.
