TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function (traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the letters “TA”
will appear on the display.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA function
on/off:
❍briefly press the MENU button and se-
lect “Traffic Info”;
❍press buttons /to switch the
function on/off.
If the TA function is activated, “TA” will light
up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is activated
with an audio source other than Tuner (Ra-
dio) (CD, MP3, Telephone or Mute/Pause),
the radio can carry out an automatic search
and therefore it is possible, when reactivat-
ing the Tuner (Radio) source, that the fre-
quency tuned into will be different from the
one set previously.With the TA function it is possible to:
❍search only for RDS stations that trans-
mit on the FM band, which are enabled
to transmit traffic information;
❍receive traffic information even if the CD
player is on;
❍receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are ra-
dio stations that do not broadcast traffic in-
formation even with the TP function acti-
vated (“TP” in the display).
If the radio is working on the AM band,
when the TA function is activated it will
switch to the last station tuned into on the
FM1 band. The volume at which the traffic news is trans-
mitted depends on the listening volume:
❍listening volume below 5: traffic news
volume 5 (fixed value);
❍listening volume above 5: traffic news
volume equal to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic up-
date, the level will not be shown on the dis-
play; the new level will only be maintained
during the update.
The display will show the words TRAFFIC IN-
FORMATION whilst a traffic update is being
received.
The TA function can be interrupted by press-
ing any button on the car radio.

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.
