Important Information. Traffic safety
Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
WARNING
Before starting the trip, you should familiarise yourself with the different
radio functions.
The features of modern car radios are more complete and demanding,
because besides a wide choice of entertainment, they also offer information
relating to traffic and road conditions, etc.
Only operate the radio and explore its many functions when the traffic situ-
ation really permits this.
Traffic safety
WARNING
•Please study how to operate the radio before starting the journey.
•Excessive volume may represent a danger to you and to others.
•Adjust the volume so that you can distinguish surrounding noises, for
example, horns, sirens, etc.
•Radio settings should be made when the car is stopped, or by a
passenger.

This documentation contains the model, the serial number and the security
code.
The serial number is identical to the number engraved on the side of the
equipment chassis.
The radio card certifies ownership of the equipment, helps the police search
in case of loss, and accelerates the handling of the claim by the insurance
company.
Remove the card from the radio and keep it in a safe place. Never leave it in
the car.
Antitheft protection

If, while the code is activated (see chapter “PROG-System“), the car radio is
disconnected from the battery (for example: when replacing the battery at the

Only the introduction of the correct code number will unlock the radio.
WARNING
•The equipment will turn on automatically when a CD is inserted.
•At the same time the antenna will be extended.
