TELEPHONE PROVISION
(fig. 137)
If the voice kit is installed on the car, when
a phone call is received the radio sound is
connected to the phone input. The telephone
sound is heard with a fixed volume, but it
can be adjusted during the conversation us-
ing “VOL+” (21) to higher the volume or
“VOL-” (19) to lower it.
The fixed telephone volume can be ad-
justed through the “PHONE” function of
the menu (see“MENU” paragraph). The only buttons active during phone calls
are:
– “VOL+” (21), “VOL-” (19): for
volume adjustment
– “ON” (20): turning the radio on/off
– “AF-TA” (1): traffic information.
While the sound is off for a phone call, the
display shows the word “PHONE”.
The sound of the phone call will be inter-
rupted in the case of transmission of a traf-
fic bulletin or a PTY31 announcement; if
wishing to interrupt the bulletin press the
“AF-TA” button (1).
RADIO(fig. 137)
When the set is turned on the last function
selected before turning off is played (Radio,
Compact Disc or CD-Changer).
To select the Radio function while listening
to a Compact Disc, briefly and repeatedly
press the “SRC” button (14) until this
function is selected.
Selecting the frequency band
If in the Radio mode, briefly and repeat-
edly press the “BN” button (13) to select
the required reception band.
Every time the button is pressed the fol-
lowing bands are selected in sequence
“FM1”, “FM2”, “FMT”, “MW” and
“LW” shown by the respective wording on
the display.
The FM band is divided into section: FM1,
FM2 and FMT.
The FMT reception band is reserved to the
stations stored automatically with the Au-
tostore function.
The radio is always ready to receive sta-
tions in the RDS Mode (Radio Data System).

Controlling the station’s type of
PTY programme
To know the type of PTY programme of
the station heard, keep the “PTY” (2)
pressed until a “beep” is heard. After the
“beep” the display will show the type of pro-
gramme (see previous paragraph) offered
by the station tuned. If the station has no
PTY code, the display will show the wording
“NO-PTY”. After about 5 seconds the dis-
play will again show the RDS name or fre-
quency of the station tuned.
EON Function
(Enhanced Other Network)
Some countries have circuits which group
together several stations enabled to broad-
cast traffic information. In this case the pro-
gramme of the station being heard, will be
interrupted temporarily to receive traffic in-
formation (only with the TA function on),
every time these bulletins are given by one
of the stations of the same circuit. Scrolling transmissions
It is possible to receive different pro-
grammes in the same network and scroll
them in FM Band only) - e.g.: NDR1, NDR2,
NDR3, NDR4, N-JOY...
To turn on this function, briefly press the
“AF-TA” button (1) to turn on the AF func-
tion. The user can then start scrolling press-
ing “
˙˙” (7) or “¯¯” (4).
IMPORTANTThe station must have
been received previously at least once.
Stereophonic stations
If the signal received is weak, the device
switches automatically from Stereo to Mono.
MENU(fig. 137)
Functions of “MENU” button (9)
To turn on the menu function briefly press
(less than 1 second) the “MENU” button
(9). The display will show the word
“MENU”.
To scroll the Menu functions use “
▲” (6)
or “
▼” (8). To turn on/off the function se-
lected use “
˙˙” (7) or “¯¯” (4).
The display will show the current status
of the function selected.

equalizer is on)
–PRESET/USER/CLASSIC/
ROCK/JAZZ(Turning on/off and choos-
ing predefined equalizer adjustments)
–HICUT(Treble reduction)
–PHONE(Volume of phone, if installed)
–CD NAME(Allocation of CD names,

SELESPEED TRANSMISSION
OIL
(fig. 4)
The Selespeed transmission oil should be
checked with the vehicle on a level surface
and with the engine stopped and cold.
To check the level, proceed as follows:
– turn the ignition key to MAR;
– disconnect the breather tube and re-
move the cap (A) checking that the level
corresponds with the MAXmark on the dip-
stick integrated with the cap;– if the oil is below the MAXmark, top
up to reach the correct level;
– after refitting the cap, insert the breather
tube firmly on the housing on the cap and
turn the ignition key to STOP.
Used gearbox oil contains
dangerous substances for
the environment. For chang-
ing the oil we advise contacting Al-
fa Romeo Authorised Services who
are equipped for disposing of used
oil respecting nature and the law.Do not add oil with spec-
ifications other than that
already in the gearbox.

Be very careful working in-
side the engine compart-
ment if the engine is hot: danger of
burns. Remember that the fan may
cut in if the engine is very hot: dan-
ger of injury.
