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.).
