SOUND SYSTEM
In the following pages you will find the in-
structions for use, which you are advised
to read through carefully and always keep
within reach for prompt reference in the
future.
ADVICE
Road safety
You are advised to learn how to use the
various radio functions (e.g.: storing sta-
tions) 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 in-
formation, the volume may be higher than
normal.

Too high a volume when dri-
ving can put the driver’s life at
risk and that of other people. There-
fore the volume should always be ad-
justed in such a way that it is always
possible to hear the noises of the sur-
rounding environment (e.g.: horns, am-
bulance, police sirens, etc.).
WARNING
Care and maintenance
The radio structure ensures long opera-
tion with no need for particular mainte-
nance. In the event of a fault, contact a Fi-
at Dealership.
To clean the front panel only use a soft,
antistatic cloth. Cleaning and polishing
products might spoil the surface.
❒Carefully clean all Compact Discs of fin-
gerprints and dust using a soft cloth. Sup-
port Compact Discs from the outer cir-
cumference and clean from the centre
outwards;
❒Never use chemical products for clean-
ing (e.g.: spray cans, antistatic or thin-
ners) as they might damage the surface
of Compact Discs;
❒After use, put Compact Discs back in
their container, to avoid marks or
scratches that may cause skipping when
playing;
CD
Remember that dirt, marks or distortion
on Compact Disc can cause skipping. To
obtain optimum playing conditions we give
the following advice:
❒Only use Compact Discs which have
the following brand:

SOUND SYSTEM
❒Do not expose Compact Discs to direct
sunlight, high temperatures or damp for
prolonged lengths of time to prevent
them from bending;
❒Do not stick labels or write on the
recorded surface of Compact Discs.
To remove a Compact Disc from its con-
tainer, press the centre and raise the disc
carefully, holding it by the outer circum-
ference.
Always hold Compact Discs by the outer
circumference. Never touch the surface.
To remove fingerprints and dust, use a soft
cloth starting from the centre of the Com-
pact Disc outwards.
Do not use highly scratched, cracked, or
distorted discs, etc. The use of these discs
will involve malfunctioning or damage to
the player.
For optimal playing use original CDs on-
ly. Regular operation is not guaranteed if
using R/RW CDs not properly mastered
and/or CDs with max. capacity higher than
650 MB.IMPORTANT Do not use the protective
sheets for CD in commerce or discs with
stabilisers, etc. as they might get stuck in
the internal mechanism and damage the
disc.
IMPORTANT Should copy-protected
CDs be used, then, few seconds may be
required for playing them. Moreover, due
to the proliferation of always new and dif-
ferent protection methods, it is not guar-
anteed that the CD player can play what-
ever protected disc. Copy protection is of-
ten indicated on the CD cover in small let-
ters or hard to read characters. Usually
it is indicated by writings like: “COPY
CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”,
“THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”, or it is identified by symbols
like:
Protected discs (and their cover) very often
are not marked with the audio CD identi-
fication symbol:
