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.
