is not working properly. Before applying
to Fiat Dealership, read carefully the in-
structions below: it is most likely that an
apparent malfunction can be solved with
ease.

tuned:

(instead of the station name):
❒the radio is not tuned to a RDS station;
❒the RDS function is off.The radio turns off and the display
shows alternately the word
“SEARCH” and the station
name/frequency:
