INTRODUCTION
Fiat Idea sound system, fitted with CD player (radio
with Compact Disc player) or MP3 CD player (radio
with MP3 CD player) has been designed in accordance
with the special features of the passenger
compartment, with a personalised design that blends
with the style of the dashboard. The sound system
cannot be adapted to other vehicles and for this
reason it cannot be removed.
The radio is installed in a user-friendly position for the
driver and passenger and the graphics on the front
panel make location of the controls quick, facilitating
use.
The CD Changer for 10 discs (if provided), is housed
in the boot.
In the following pages you will find the instructions for
use, which you are advised to read through carefully.
The instructions also contain the procedure for
controlling the CD Changer (if provided) through the
radio. For the instructions for use of the CD Changer
refer to the specific manual.
ADVICE
Road Safety
You are advised to learn how to use the various radio
functions (e.g.: storing stations) before starting to
drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly when driving.
Reception may be disturbed by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges particularly when far
away from the station being listened to.
IMPORTANT When receiving traffic information, the
volume may be higher than normal.
WARNINGToo high a volume when driving can put the driver’s life at risk and that of other
people. Therefore the volume should always be adjusted in such a way that it is
always possible to hear the noises of the surrounding environment (e.g.: horns,
ambulance, police sirens, etc.).

automatically switching tuning on the frequency of the
transmitter that is sending the strongest signal.

automatically radio stations.
Balance (Channel balancing)
Function with which it is possible to suitably adjust the

1) Distant (maximum sensitivity), which makes it
possible to tune all the stations that can be
received.
2) Local (minimum sensitivity), which makes it possible
to tune only those stations with sufficiently strong
signals, such as for example local stations.
EON (Enhanced Other Network)
Function that allows the radio to tune automatically on
a different station than the one being listened to which
