SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not use the CD changer if the interior temperature is higher than + 60°c or lower than – 10°c.
If the temperature becomes too high, an automatic safety device will prevent the CD changer from working until an acceptable temperature is reached.
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
Do not drop them.
Store the discs so that they are kept free of dust.
Avoid touching the disc surface as any scratches may lead to a deterioration of the sound quality.
Do not attach any stickers to the discs.
Do not write on them.
Do not use damaged or deformed discs.
Do not expose them to heat or direct sunlight.
If the surface of the compact disc is dirty, it can be wiped with a soft, clean cloth; always wipe from the centre of the disc out.

RADIO RECEPTION
Your audio system will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems. The reception of AM and FM signals is subject to interference which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals, and is not a fault of your audio system.In AM mode, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the station transmitter, the refl ecting of signals off obsta cles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
SELECTING RADIO MODE
If the system is not already in radio mode, press button (C).
SELECTING A WAVEBAND AND MEMORY BANK
Press button (C), to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory bank MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
AUTOMATIC SEARCH (Automatic search mode activated)
Press either button (I) or (G) briefl y to tune into the following or preceding radio stations respectively, within the chosen wave band.By keeping either button (I) or (G) pressed down, the search mode will proceed through the waveband and will stop at the fi rst station it comes across once the button is released.The automatic search mode can also be operated using buttons (2) and (3) on the control at the steering wheel (P).It is possible to carry out a manual search to fi nd a known station if the automatic search is unable to tune into it (for example, due to very weak reception).
MANUAL SEARCH (Manual search mode activated)
To select the manual search mode, briefl y press the button “MAN” (H).The display indicates “MN” followed by the frequency.By keeping either button (I) or (G) pressed down, the search mode will proceed through the waveband and will stop on the frequency shown on the display when the button is released. The system will remain on the frequency displayed.The system will automatically return to the automatic search mode after several seconds, or by pressing the button “MAN” (H).
TUNING SENSITIVITY
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity.- to pick up the strongest radio signals, select the local tuning function “LO”.- to pick up signals which are weaker or further away, select the distance tuning function “DX”.The searches are fi rst carried out for the local sensitivity function “LO”, then the distance sensitivity function “DX”.To immediately initiate a distance sensitivity search “DX”, press either button (I) or (G) twice in a row.

MANUAL PRE-SETTING
Select the waveband and memory bank required using button (C).
Select a station using either the automatic or manual search modes.
Press and hold down one of buttons “1” to “6” (O) for more than two seconds.
The sound momentarily cuts off, then returns to its previous level to confi rm that it has memorised the station.
The audio system can memorise:
- 18 FM radio stations on 3 memory banks (FM1, FM2, FM3),
- 6 AM radio stations on 1 memory bank.
FM AUTOMATIC PRE-SETTING (AUTOSTORE FUNCTION)
It is possible to memorise the 6 strongest FM radio stations on the FM3 memory bank by holding down the button (C)for more than two seconds.
The display indicates “FM AST”.
- The 6 strongest radio stations are memorised, wiping the previous 6 strongest.
- Once the stations have been memorised, the fi rst pre-set station on the FM3 memory bank is automatic ally selected.
Note :
- If the traffi c information function has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the radio stations using RDS will be memo-rised fi rst. If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will retain the previous memorised stations.
- If the system is unable to fi nd 6 stations, the unfi lled memory slots will remain free.
RECALLING PRE-SET STATIONS
Press the button (C) briefl y to select the required waveband and memory bank.
Select the desired pre-set radio station by pressing the relevant button “1” to “6” (O).
If a RDS station is selected, the station’s frequency will appear on the display a few seconds before the station’s name.
Recalling a RDS station may lead to the system automatically re-tuning to the frequency on which the best reception can be obtained according to the area in which you are travelling (see RDS SYSTEM).
This operation can also be performed using button (1) on the control at the steering wheel (P).
