alarm FIAT PANDA 2014 319 / 3.G Owners Manual

BATTERYBattery F (see previous pages) does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Fiat Dealership
is, however, necessary to check efficiency.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
genuine battery with the same specifications. Follow
the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the car, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to prevent
any roof lights from remaining on inside the
passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative battery pole;
❒Completely tighten the battery terminals.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50%
for a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this
can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to the paragraph
"Car inactivity" in "Starting and driving" if the car is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the car, you wish to install electrical
accessories which require permanent electrical
supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories which influence
the electrical supply requirements, contact a Fiat
Dealership, whose qualified staff will evaluate the
overall electrical consumption.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.

Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any accessories (car
alarm, car phone, etc .), please contact your Fiat
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle, and will,
most importantly, recommend installing a
oversized battery.Batteries contain substances which are
ver y dangerous for the environment . For
battery replacement , contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an extended
period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery and
store it in a heated area to avoid it freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles when
working on or near the battery.
BRAKESThe car is equipped with 4 mechanical wear
detection systems for brake pads: one for each wheel
assembly.
When the brake linings are about to wear out,
pressing the brake pedal, a light hiss is heard: this
indication lasts around 100 km (depending on the
driving style and the route type).
In these circumstances it is still possible, proceeding
with caution, to carry on driving.
In any case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the worn brake pads replaced.

SELECTING CD FUNCTION
By pressing the MEDIA button briefly it is possible to
select the CD function.
AUDIO SOURCE MEMORY FUNCTION
If another function (e.g. the radio) is selected whilst
listening to a CD, playback is interrupted and is
resumed from the same point when returning to the
CD source.
If another function is selected whilst listening to the
radio, the last station selected is tuned into when
returning to the Radio mode.
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
Turn the
(ON/OFF) button/knob to adjust the
volume.
If the volume level is changed during the transmission
of traffic news, the new setting will only be
maintained until the update is finished.MUTE/PAUSE FUNCTION
(setting volume to zero)
Press the
button briefly to activate the Mute
function. The volume will gradually decrease and the
words "RADIO Mute" will be displayed (in radio
mode) or "PAUSE" (in CD mode).

AUTOSTORE FUNCTION
(automatic station storing)
To activate the Autostore function, hold the FM AS
button down until a beep is heard. With this
function, the radio automatically stores the 6 stations
with the strongest signal in a decreasing order on the
FMA frequency band.
During the automatic storing process, the text
“Autostore” flashes on the display.
Press the FM AS button again to stop the Autostore
function: the radio will again tune into the station
listened to before the activation of the function.
When the Autostore function has finished, the radio
automatically tunes into the first preselected station
on the FMA band on the preset side 1.
The stations that have a strong signal at that moment
are then automatically stored in the preselected band
on the buttons numbered 1 to 6.
When the Autostore function is activated within the
MW band, the FMA band is automatically selected
and the function is performed there.
Note
Sometimes the Autostore function is not able to find
6 stations with a strong signal. In this case, the
strongest stations stored will be duplicated in the
free preset buttons.Note
When the Autostore function is activated, the
stations that were previously stored in the FMA band
are deleted.
EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio is configured to receive emergency alerts
in RDS mode in exceptional circumstances or where
dangerous situations are present (earthquakes,
floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by the
current broadcaster.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
turned off.
The word “Alarm” will be shown in the display during
the transmission of an emergency announcement.
The volume of the radio changes during this
announcement in the same way as during traffic
news.

LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to
activate the motorised loading system, 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 before being switched off will be
activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will show the
symbol "CD-IN" and the text "CD Reading". They
will remain displayed for the entire time required for
the radio to read the CD tracks. When this time has
elapsed the radio automatically starts playing the first
track.
Press the
button (EJECT) with the radio on to
activate the motorised ejection of the CD. After
ejection, the last audio source listened to before
playing the CD will be heard.
WARNING
Do not inadvertently press the eject
button when inser ting a CD.If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will
automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later and
the Tuner mode will be activated (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having removed
it completely from the slot, the radio will not switch
to the CD source.
Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM has
been inserted or the CD is inserted the wrong way
round or there is a reading error) the display will
show the words "CD error".
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source
activated prior to the CD mode selection will be
heard.
With an external audio source activated ("TA",
"ALARM" and "Phone"), the CD that cannot be read
will not be ejected until these functions have ended.
At the end, with the CD mode activated, the display
will show the text "CD error" for a few seconds and
then the CD will be ejected.
If the CD player overheats CD playback could be
temporarily interrupted. The radio will automatically
switch to the Radio (Tuner) mode and the display will
show “CD hot” and then “CD error”.
