INTRODUCTION
Fiat Panda sound system, fitted with tape player (radio
with tapes player), or 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 5 discs (if provided), is housed in
the glove compartment.
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.).

The radio is fitted with an antitheft protection system
based on a secret code. This code is stored by the
sound system and shall be entered again each time the
sound system power is disconnected (e.g.: battery
disconnection).
The message “CODE” will appear on the display
during the code entry procedure. The sound system
will only start working once the correct code is
entered.
The protection system makes the sound system
useless if it is removed from the dashboard.
IMPORTANT The secret code shall be used in the
event of next installation of the sound system on
another car, different from the original one.

GLOSSARY
AF (Alternative Frequency)
Function that allows the radio to stay tuned on the FM
station selected also passing through areas served by
transmitters with different frequencies.
The RDS system actually keeps the intensity and
quality of the signal received under control,
automatically switching tuning on the frequency of the
transmitter that is sending the strongest signal.
Autoreverse
Function that makes it possible to listen to both sides
of the tape without having to turn the cassette over.
AutoSTore
Function with which it is possible to store
automatically radio stations with the strongest signal.
Balance (Channel balancing)
Function with which it is possible to suitably adjust the
sound from the right or left speakers.
Bass (Bass tones)
This function adjusts the bass tones.Blank Skip
Function that activates tape fast forward in the lack of
a signal. This way the waiting times between one piece
of music and another and at the end of the tape are
reduced.
CLR (Clear)
Function with which it is possible to clear one or all
the tracks of the CD stored with the TPM function.
CD Changer (where provided)
Multiple Compact Disc player.
Distant/Local (Sens Dx/Lo)
These are two levels of reception sensitivity.
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.
