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.
IMPORTANTWhen receiving traffic in-
formation, the volume may be higher than
normal.Care and maintenance
The radio structure ensures long operation
with no need for particular maintenance.
In the event of a fault, contact Authorised
Alfa Romeo Services.
To clean the front panel only use a soft,
antistatic cloth. Cleaning and polishing prod-
ucts might spoil the surface.
Compact Disc
Remember that dirt, marks or distortion on
Compact Discs can cause skipping and poor
sound quality. For top performance condi-
tions, we give the following advice:
– Only use Compact Discs which have the
following brand:
– Carefully clean all Compact Disc of fin-
gerprints and dust using a soft cloth. Sup-
port Compact Discs from the outer circum-
ference and clean from the centre outwards.
INTRODUCTION
The fixed radio, fitted with Compact Disc
player and parametric sound equaliser has
been designed in accordance with the spe-
cific features of the passenger compartment,
with a personalised design that blends with
the style of the dashboard.
The radio is installed in a user-friendly po-
sition 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 present,
is housed in the right-hand side of the boot.
To increase safety against theft, the set is fit-
ted with a protection system that allows the
use of it only on the car on which it was orig-
inally fitted.
Below you will find the instructions for use,
which you are advised to read through care-
fully. The instructions also contain the pro-
cedure for controlling the CD-Changer
through the radio. For the instructions for
use of the CD-Changer refer to the specific
manual.
RADIO WITH COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Too high a volume when
driving can put the driver’s
life at risk and that of other peo-
ple. Therefore the volume should
always be adjusted in such a way
that it is always possible to hear
the noises of the surrounding en-
vironment (e.g. horns, ambulance,
police sirens, etc.).
