The radio is fitted with an antitheft protection system
based on the exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit (Body Computer)
installed on the car.
This system warrants the highest level of security and
prevents entry of the secret code every time the radio
supply is disconnected. After every re-connection an
automatic check procedure is performed during which
the display shows the wording “CANCHECK” for
about one second.
If the result of the check is positive, the set starts
working, whereas if the comparison codes are not the
same or if the radio is connected for the first time to
the car electric system, the device informs the user of
the need to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the following paragraph.

3) To receive traffic information while not listening to
the radio:
❒tune to a station enabled to transmit traffic
information so that the display shows “TP” and turn
the volume to zero by turning the button/knob 19
(ON/OFF VOLUME).
❒turn on the TA function briefly pressing button 15
(AF-TA), so that the display shows “TA”;
This way, if that station broadcasts traffic information,
this will be heard at a minimum predefined volume.
IMPORTANT In certain countries radio stations exist
which, even if the TP function is on (the display shows
“TP”), do not transmit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button
15 (AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on
the last station heard. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information the search for an enabled
station starts automatically.The volume with which the traffic bulletin is
transmitted varies depending on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 20: traffic bulletin volume =
20 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 20: same traffic bulletin
volume as the listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic bulletin the
value is not shown on the display and the new value is
kept only for the bulletin in progress.
Leaving the covered area of the tuned station,
depending on the active audio source the following
cases may took place:
❒Radio on: a “beep” is given every 30 seconds;
❒Compact Disc, CD Changer (if installed), Telephone
or Mute on: the search for an enabled station will
start automatically.
During a traffic bulletin it is possible to turn on sound
adjustment and the radio menu by pressing
respectively buttons 12 (MENU-PRESET SCAN) or 9
(AUDIO-LOUDNESS).
