The volume at which the traffic news is
transmitted 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 the traffic
news, the level will not be shown on the

tained during the traffic news in progress.
While traffic information is being received,
“TRAFFIC INFORMATION” will appear
on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by
pressing any button on the car radio.REGIONAL MODE function
(reception of regional transmissions)
Some national broadcasters transmit re-
gional programmes at certain times of the
day (that vary from region to region). This
function makes it possible to tune into lo-
cal (regional) broadcasters automatically
(see “EON function” paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune
into the regional stations being broadcast
on the selected network, the function
must be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
buttons ÷or ˜.
The current status of the function will ap-
pear on the display:
❒“Regional Mode: On” - function acti-
vated;
❒“Regional Mode: On” - function deac-
tivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have
tuned into a regional station working in a
given area and you enter a different area,
then the regional station received in the
new area will be broadcast.
WARNING If the AF and REG functions
are on at the same time, once a border
between two regions is crossed, the radio
may not switch correctly to a valid alter-
native frequency.MP3 DISPLAY FUNCTION

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange
of information between the radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
present on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety
and prevents the secret code from being
entered every time the radio power sup-
ply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to function, whereas if the
comparison codes are not the same or if
the electronic control unit (Body Com-
puter) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according
to the procedure described in the para-
graph below.Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the se-
cret code is requested, the display will
show the wording “CODE” for about
2 seconds followed by four dashes “- - - -”.
The secret code is made up of four digits
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the button corresponding to the pre-se-
lection stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the
other code digits 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 con-
sidered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the car radio will start to work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display will show
“Radio blocked/wait” to notify the user of
the need to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually increases
(1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,
1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) to a maximum of
24 hours. The waiting time will be shown
on the display with the wording “RADIO
BLOCKED, WAIT”. After the wording has
disappeared it is possible to start the code
entering procedure again.Code Card
This document certifies the ownership of
the car radio. The Code Card contains the
model of the radio, the serial number and
the secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card some-
where safe so that the authorities can be
supplied with the relevant information if
the radio is stolen.

FREQUENCY BAND SELECTION
With the Radio mode active, press the
button FM AS or AM briefly and repeat-
edly to select the desired reception band.
Each time the button is pressed the fol-
lowing bands are selected cyclically:
❒By pressing the button FM AS: “FM1”,
“FM2” or “FMA”;
❒By pressing the button AM: “MW1”,
“MW2”.
Each band is highlighted by the names in
the display. The last station selected on
the respective frequency band will be
tuned into.
The FM band is divided into sections: FM1,
FM2 and “FMA”; the FMA reception band
is reserved to broadcasters stored auto-
matically using the Autostore function.PRESET BUTTONS
The buttons numbered from 1 to 6 are
used to set the following preselections:
❒18 in the FM band: 6 in FM1, 6 in FM2,
6 in FMT or “FMA” (on some versions);
❒12 in the MW band.
To listen to a preset station, select the
desired frequency band and then press
briefly the corresponding preset button
(from 1 to 6).
By pressing the preset button for more
than 2 seconds, the tuned station will be
stored. The storing phase is confirmed by
an acoustic signal. INTRODUCTION
When the car radio is turned on, the last
function that was selected before turning
it off (Radio, CD,CD/MP3) is activated.
To select the Radio function when an-
other audio source is being listened to,
briefly press the buttons FM AS or AM de-
pending on the desired band.
Once the Radio mode has been activated,
the display will show the name (RDS sta-
tions only) or the frequency of the se-
lected radio station, the frequency band
selected (e.g. FM1) and the preselect but-
ton number (e.g. P1).

AUTOSTORE FUNCTION
(station automatic storing)
To activate the Autostore function, hold
the button FM AS pressed until the acti-
vation of the acoustic confirmation signal.
With this function, the radio automatical-
ly stores the 6 stations with the strongest
signal in a decreasing order on the FMA
frequency band.
During the automatic storing process,
the wording “Autostore” flashes on the
display.Press the button FM AS again to stop the
Autostore function: the radio will tune
again into the station listened to before the
activation of the function.
When the Autostore function has finished,
the radio will automatically tune into the
first preset station on the FMA band stored
on the preset 1 side.
The stations that have a strong signal at
that moment are then automatically stored
in the preselected band in the buttons
numbered from 1 to 6.
When the Autostore function is activat-
ed within the MW band, the FMA band is
automatically selected and the function is
performed.IMPORTANT Sometimes the Autostore
function does not manage to find 6 sta-
tions with a strong signal. In this case, the
previous stations stored will be duplicat-
ed in the free preset buttons.
IMPORTANT When the Autostore func-
tion is activated, the stations that were
previously stored in the FMA band are
deleted.

EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that
group multiple broadcasters that are en-
abled to transmit traffic information to-
gether. In this case, the programme of the
station that is being listened to will be tem-
porarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic information (only with
the TA function on);
❒listen to regional transmissions each
time they are transmitted by one of the
broadcasters in the same circuit. EMERGENCY ALARM
RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in
RDS mode in exceptional circumstances
where dangerous situations are threat-
ened (earthquakes, floods, etc.) if these are
being transmitted by the broadcaster
tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The wording “ALARM” will be shown on
the display during the transmission of an
emergency alert. The volume of the ra-
dio will change during this announcement
in the same way as during a traffic news.STEREOPHONIC
BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the repro-
duction is automatically switched from
Stereo to Mono.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants re-
garding the operation of the CD player: as
far as the operation of the radio is con-
cerned, refer to the description in the
“Functions and Adjustments” chapter.CD PLAYER SELECTION
To activate the CD player built into the
equipment, proceed as follows:
❒load a CD with the equipment switched
on: the first track will start to play;
or
❒if a CD has already been loaded, turn
on the car radio and then press briefly
the button CD to select the “CD” func-
tion mode: the last track listened to will
start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to en-
sure optimal playing. If CD-R/RWs are
used, we recommend using good quality
media that are burned at the slowest
speed possible.CD LOADING/EJECTION
To load the CD, insert it gently into the
slot to activate the motorised loading sys-
tem, which will position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and
the ignition key turned to MAR: in this case
the radio will remain off. When the radio
is turned on, the last source listened to be-
fore being switched off, will be activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will
show the symbol “CD-IN” and the word-
ing “CD Reading”. They will remain dis-
played for the whole time required for the
radio to read the CD. When this time has
elapsed the radio will automatically start
playing the first track.
