TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and
FMA) can broadcast information about traffic
conditions.
In this case the text "TA" appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select
“Traffic info”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate
the function.
❒If the TA function has been activated, the icon
“TA” lights up on the display.
NoteIf the TA function is activated with an audio
source other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3,
telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out
an automatic search and therefore it is possible,
when reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that
the frequency tuned into is different from the one
previously set.With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in
FM and are enabled to broadcast traffic
information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD
player is in operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
NoteIn some countries there are radio stations
that, even with the TP function activated, do not
transmit traffic information (the icon "TP"
appears on the display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band,
when TA is activated it will tune to the last
selected station in the FM1 band.
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 traffic news, the
level will not be shown on the display; the new
level will only be maintained during the news.
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.

switched on the volume level will be: – if the
volume level is equal to or higher than the
maximum value or higher, the radio will come
on at the maximum volume;– if the volume level is between the minimum and
maximum values, the radio will come on at the
same volume as before it was switched off
❒"Radio on vol – Limit off": the radio will come
on at the volume level it was at before switching
off. The volume level can be between 0 and 40.
To change the setting of the selected function, use

CD PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD player: as far as the operation
of the radio is concerned, refer to the description
in the "Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
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 briefly press the CD button to
select the “CD” operating mode: the last track
listened to will start to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used, we
recommend using good quality media that are
burnt at the slowest speed possible.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-ON: 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.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, it will
automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later
and the Tuner mode will be tuned into (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.

SOUND-SYSTEM

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 reading error) the display
will show the wording "CD Disc 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 or Phone), the CD that cannot be read
will be not be ejected until these functions have
ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated,
the display will show the text "CD Disc error" for
a few seconds and then the CD will be ejected.
If the CD player overheats the CD playing could
be temporarily interrupted. The radio will
automatically turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and
the display will show “CD hot” and then “CD disc
error”.DISPLAY INFORMATION
When the CD player is in operation, information
appears on the display with the following
meanings:
❒"CD Track 5": indicates the number of the CD

MP3 MODE
In addition to playing regular audio CDs, the radio
is also able to play CD-ROMs on which audio files
have been recorded using the MP3 compression
format. The radio functions as described in the
"CD Player" chapter when an ordinary audio CD
is inserted.
To guarantee optimal playback quality it is
advisable to use good quality CDs mastered at the
lowest speed possible.
The files on an MP3 CD are structured in folders
that create lists of all the folders containing MP3
tracks (folders and subfolders are all displayed on
the same level); the folders that do not contain
MP3 tracks cannot be selected.

SOUND-SYSTEM

The operating conditions and specifications for
playing MP3 files are as follows:
❒the CD-ROMs used should be burnt according to
ISO 9660 standard;
❒the music files must have an ".mp3" extension:
files with a different extension cannot be played;
❒the following sampling frequencies can be
played: 44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to 320 kbit) -
22.05 kHz, mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be
reproduced.
NoteThe names of tracks must not contain the
following characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and
) (open and close brackets). During the mastering
of a MP3 CD, make sure that the names of the
files do not contain these characters; if not, the
radio will not be able to play the tracks involved.SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS ON HYBRID
