ROAD SAFETY
You should learn how to use the various functions
(e.g. storing the stations, etc.) before trying to do it
while driving.
If you drive with the volume too high you put both
your own life and that of others in jeopardy. You
should adjust the volume so that you can hear nois-
es from outside the car (e.g. horns, ambulance/police
sirens, etc.).
RECEPTION CONDITIONS
Reception conditions vary all the time while the
car is moving. Reception may be effected by moun-
tains, buildings or bridges, especially when you are a
long way from the broadcasting transmitter of the
station you are listening to.CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The basic structure of the audio system ensures
long-term operation without the need for any par-
ticular maintenance. Get in touch with a Fiat Deal-
ership if anything goes wrong.
Only clean the front panel with a soft, anti-static
cloth. Cleaning or polishing agents could damage the
surface.
TAPES
For optimal playback:
– Do not use bad quality tapes, misshapen cas-
settes or cassettes with the labels coming unstuck.
– Do not leave the tape in the player when not in
use.
– Do not introduce any other object in the tape
deck.

– Do not leave tapes in direct sunlight or expose
them to excessive heat or moisture.
– Put cassettes back into their boxes after use.
– Dirt on the player head from tapes can, in time,
reduce treble during playback. We recommend you
clean the head periodically with a specific head clean-
er tape (non abrasive).
– Ideally, use C–60 tapes. Do not use tapes longer
than C–90 to ensure constant, optimal playback.
Moreover, longer tapes are very thin and can easily
break.– Avoid using cassettes with slack tape, especially
C–90 tapes. The tape could come out of the cassette
and block the mechanism. However, if the player de-
tect slack tape or similar problems, the cassette will
be ejected automatically.
– Do not lubricate cassette mechanism.
– Do not touch the player head with magnetic or
hard objects.
CD
If you are using a CD player, remember that dirt or
marks on the CD can cause skipping or bad sound
quality in playback. The same will occur if the CD is
bent.
