IMPORTANTAfter eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Alfa Romeo Authorised Services are
obliged to run a bench test and, if necessary,
road tests which may also call for a long jour-
ney.
INTRODUCTION
The radio is fitted with CD player (radio
with Compact Disc player) or CD MP3 play-
er (radio with Compact Disc MP3 player)
and has been designed in accordance with
the specific features of the passenger com-
partment, with a personalised design that
blends with the style of the dashboard. The
radio dimensions are suitable for the car and
as it is of fixed type it cannot be installed on
any other vehicle.
The instructions for use also include how
to control the CD Changer (if fitted) through
the radio. For the instructions for use of the
CD Changer, refer to the specific manual.
ADVICE
Too high a volume when
driving can put the drivers
life at risk and that of oth-
er 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, ambu-
lance, police sirens, etc.).
Road safety
You are advised to learn how to use the
various radio functions (e.g. storing stations)
before starting to drive.
Reception conditions
The reception conditions change constant-
ly when travelling. Reception may be dis-
turbed by the presence of mountains, build-
ings or bridges in particular if far away from
the broadcasting transmitter. If, turning the ignition key
to MAR, the warning light
Udoes not turn on or if,
while travelling it turns on glow-
ing steadily or flashing (on some
versions together with the mes-
sage + symbol on the reconfig-
urable multifunction display), con-
tact Alfa Romeo Authorised Ser-
vices as soon as possible.
