Introduction
Your vehicle is equipped with a radio that has an
AM/FM radio receiver and a USB port for playing MP3,
WMA and AAC files. The device has been designed
according to the specific characteristics of the vehicle,
with a design matching the style of the instrument panel.
The radio is installed in an ergonomic position for the
driver and passenger with a diagram on the front panel
that allows the user commands to be identified quickly
and easily.
The directions for use are described below, and we advise
you to read these carefully.
NOTE: The operation of many of the resources men-
tioned in this publication depends on technology used by
radio stations and other base stations, which may not be
available at certain times and/or in particular locations.

Recommendations
Road Safety
We recommend that you learn how to use the various
radio features (for example, Station Preset) before you
begin your journey.
WARNING!
Turning the volume up too high may be dangerous
for the driver and other people on the road. You
should adjust the volume so that you are always able
to hear sounds around you (e.g. horns, ambulances,
police cars, etc.).
Radio Reception
Reception varies constantly while driving.Reception may be affected by mountains, buildings or
bridges, especially when further away from the transmit-
ter of the tuned radio station.
CAUTION!
When listening to traffic news, you may notice
louder volume compared to normal playback.
Care And Maintenance
The radio structure is built to guarantee many years of
operation without needing maintenance. In case of a
fault, contact your local authorized dealer.
Use only a soft, anti-static cloth to clean the front of the
radio.
Detergents and waxes can damage the surface.
