PROTECTION AND SAFETY DEVICES
All the vehicle supply lines were designed taking into account the most up-to-date directives in terms of
safety and protection, especially to prevent fires.
There are 2 types of protection:
- active protection, aims to reduce the causes of faults "at source"
- passive protection, aims to limit the effects of a fault as much as possible
The first category includes a carefully designed wiring layout with wires positioned and carefully anchored
on tracks that are repaired and protected if necessary.
The cables connected to the alternator and the motor were modified for this reason by adding protective
caps etc. A strengthened sheath was also introduced for some of the more exposed sections of wiring.
The passive protection includes all interventions to reduce faults due to high current (overload, short cir
cuit).
All system fuses were rated based on the nominal absorbtion of the loads activated at the same time, to
ensure intervention in cases of a clear short circuit.
The introduction of a box containing 4 maxifuses with other fuses connected on the outside means all
the supplies can be protected except for the cable that connects the battery to the starter motor and the
cable that connects the starter motor to the recharging alternator. These cables are therefore protected by a
strengthened supplementary sheath.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The car radio reception and playing system has been developed with the acoustic properties of the pas
senger compartment in mind to offer outstanding sound reproduction at all times.
The system is installed on the car directly during production, without subsequent interventions. All wires
are integral with the car wiring.
The system includes:
- radio
- front speakers (with separate tweeters)
- rear speakers
- radio supply leads
- radio and speaker connection leads
- radio controls on steering wheel
- coaxial aerial connection lead
- stylus aerial on roof
- connection lead for CD changer, located in boot.

longer than 2 seconds until the display shows «CENTER» Or «- -«.
3. Finish adjustment: press the AUD key several times until the display shows «V0L ...».
NOTE: the radio comes with a sound reproduction condition memory specific to each source type.. This
makes it possible to set different sound geometries (FADER, BALANCE) and frequency responses
(BASS, TREBLE, LOUDNESS) for radio, cassette and phone sources (Automatic Sound Memory
function)..After about 5 seconds, the control level with the current settings is automatically aban
doned.

Tuning RDS programmes (IS LEARN) function (see EXP)
The IS LEARN function (which can be run only after activating the EXPERT function) can be used to
store up to 30 programmes in the IS memory (virtual memory area that does not correspond to storage
keys).
Stored programmes can be called up one by one as described in the EXP section.
The IS memory is useful when the station selection keys are restored or when the tuning stops on a new
reception field and you do not wish to deleted stored stations from preset keys.
Starting the automatic IS LEARN function
Use the BN key to select the range «FM 1», «FM 2» or «FM 3».
Press the SRC key for longer than 2 seconds. «IS ...» will appear on the display, the receiver starts the
search.
If an attempt is made to start the IS LEARN search without the IS mode being active (see EXPERT), the
display will show the message "EXPERT".
NOTE: Always wait for the end of the automatic intelligent search (IS).
If no reception is possible, the automatic intelligent research may stay on, e.g. in an underground garage
or if the aerial is defective. In this case, the automatic search can be interrupted by pressing one of the
station selection keys from 1 to 6.
The automatic intelligent search IS ensures up to 30 stations can be stored with optimum reception.
During automatic intelligent search IS, RDS programmes are stored first ordered by programme code, fol
lowed by FM stations.
Calling up the contents of the IS memory
Stations can be called up from the memory in the required direction by giving a short press to one of the
keys A or B. «IS-SCAN» appears on the display during station selection.
Programme types (PTY)
Many radio programmes offer the programme type service (PTY) in the FM range (FM1, FM 2, FM3) The
message «NEWS» is displayed during a news programme, for example.
The PTY function activates a search filter that allows the radio to tune only to stations that broadcast pro
grammes with a preset PTY code.
