Pause function
If while listening to a cassette or Compact Disc
another function is selected (e.g. the radio), playing is
stopped and when the cassette or Compact Disc
mode is resumed, it starts again from the point in
which it was stopped.
If while listening to the radio another function is
selected, when the Radio mode is resumed, it is tuned
to the last station selected.Volume adjustment
Press the “VOL+” button (22) to increase the volume
or “VOL–” (20) to lower it.
Pressing the button briefly the change is gradual by
steps.
Pressing longer, the change is fast. For a few seconds
the display shows the wording “VOL” and the volume
level (from 0 to 66).
If the volume level is changed during the broadcast of a
traffic bulletin or during use of the phone (if the voice
feature is installed), the new setting is maintained only
until the end of the bulletin or phone call. Volume can
be also adjusted during manual/automatic tuning,
AutoSTore, radio station scan or CD Changer mode.
IMPORTANT On versions not fitted with rear
speakers, if the volume is low although the value set is
high, check whether the Fader function is set to “F”
(front). Fader setting to “R” (rear) will actually reduce
the sound system output till muting the volume if the
value set is R+9.

associated with the button pressed is run;
❒pressing button 1 (AF-TA) during AutoSTore will
interrupt it, the TA function (traffic information) will
be turned on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started;
❒changing the listening source (Radio, Tape, CD
Changer) during automatic storage will not
interrupt the AutoSTore function.
❒activating the AutoSTore function in MW or LW
bands will automatically select the FMT band where
the function is then run.
IMPORTANT Sometimes the AutoSTore function is
unable to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this
case, the free preset buttons will be shown on the

With the TA function (traffic information) it is
possible:
1) to search only RDS stations that transmit in the FM
band, enabled to broadcast traffic information;
2) to receive traffic information even if the tapes
player or CD Changer is in use;
3) to receive traffic information at a predefined
minimum volume even with the radio volume off.
The operations to be carried out for each of the three
above conditions are listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information:
❒select band FM1, FM2 or FMT;
❒briefly press button 1 (AF-TA) so that the display
shows “TA”;
❒press tuner buttons “
˜” (9) or “÷”(12).
To store stations with TA on, carry out the storage
operations (see “Manual station storage”).2) If wishing to receive traffic information when
listening to a cassette or CD, before inserting the
cassette or starting the CD Changer, in Telephone
mode or with Mute function on, tune to a station
enabled to broadcast traffic information (TP) and
activate the TA function. If while listening to the
cassette or Compact Disc, this station broadcasts
traffic information, the tape or CD will be suspended
temporarily and resumed again automatically after the
end of the message. At the start of receiving traffic
information the display will briefly show the wording
“INFO TRA”, while the display continues giving the
last information (frequency, etc.).
If the tape player is already working and at the same
time you want to receive traffic information, briefly
pressing button 1 (AF-TA) the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band, the TA function is
activated and the traffic messages are transmitted. If
the station selected does not send traffic information,
the search for an enabled station starts automatically.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic information message,
briefly press button 1 (AF-TA) during transmission of
the message.

3) To receive traffic information while not listening to
the radio:
❒turn on the TA function briefly pressing button 1
(AF-TA), so that the display shows “TA”;
❒tune to a station enabled to transmit traffic
information so that the display shows “TP” and turn
the volume to zero by keeping button 20 (VOL–)
pressed.
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 1
(AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on the
last station heard. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information (wording “TP” not shown
on the display), 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 30: same traffic bulletin
volume as 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.
When leaving the tuned station coverage area,
depending on the active audio source, the following
cases may took place:
❒Radio on: a “beep” is given every 30 seconds;
❒Tape, CD Changer (if installed), Telephone or Mute
on: a “beep” is given and the search for an enabled
station will start.
During a traffic bulletin it is possible to turn on sound
adjustment with the (AUD-LD) 19 button.

REG function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at determinate times of

function:
❒“REG ON”: function on;
❒“REG OFF”: function off.
If the function is off and a regional programme is tuned
that works in a determinate area and the car enters a
different area, the regional station of the new area is
received.
IMPORTANT When the function is off (“REG-OFF”)
and the AF function is on (alternative frequencies) the
radio automatically tunes to the frequency of the
station selected with the strongest signal.CDC function
(CD Changer data display)
(if installed)
This function can be chosen only if a CD Changer is
connected.
In this case the display will show “CDC DISP”.
To change the function use buttons 9 (
˜) or 12

The display shows the setting among the two possible:
❒“TIME” (time elapsed from start of track);
❒“CD NR” (CD number).
SENS DX/LO function (tuner sensitivity
adjustment)
With this function it is possible to change the
sensitivity of automatic station searching. When low
sensitivity “SENS LO” is set only stations with
excellent reception are sought; when high sensitivity
“SENS-DX” is set all stations are sought. Therefore, if
the car is in an area with a considerable number of
stations and you want to choose only those with a
strong signal, set to low sensitivity “SENS LO”.
