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.

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,

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

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

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.
