AUDIO SYSTEMS
❒Driving on extremely bumpy roads
which cause severe vibrations may
cause sound to skip.
❒This unit uses a precision mechanism.
Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
Please bring the unit to an authorized
Fiat Dealership. MAINTENANCE
If you do not use the air conditioner for
a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your
air conditioner, it needs to be run peri-
odically. Operate the air conditioner at
least once a month for one minute with
the engine idling. This circulates the re-
frigerant and oil and helps protect the in-
ternal components.
NOTE Your vehicle uses the air condi-
tioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly
called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12
around 1993 for automotive applications.
Other refrigerants are available, including
recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be
used in your vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using the wrong refriger-
ant may damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or re-
place the R-134a with other refrigerants.

Too high a volume when dri-
ving 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 al-
ways possible to hear the noises of
the surrounding environment (e.g.:
horns, ambulance, police sirens, etc.).
WARNING
FM/MW/LW CD PLAYER WITH
CD CHANGER CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS
❒When the inside of the vehicle is very
cold and the player is used soon after
switching on the heater, moisture may
form on the disc or the optical parts
of the player and proper playback may
not be possible. If moisture forms on
the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If
moisture forms on the optical parts of
the player, do not use the player for
about one hour, this will allow the con-
densation to disappear normally.

What is MP3/WMA?
MP3 (MPEG1/2 Audio Layer-II/III) and
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio) are
the compression formats of digital audio.
The former is developed by MPEG (Mo-
tion Picture Experts Group), and the lat-
ter is developed by Microsoft Corpora-
tion. Using these compression formats,
you can record the contents of about 10
music CDs on a single CD media (This fig-
ures refer to data recorded on a 650 MB
CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128
kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1
kHz).
79J194
Points to remember when making
MP3/WMA files
Common
❒High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for high
quality sounds.
❒Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended because playing time is
not displayed properly and sound may
be skipped.
❒The playback sound quality differs de-
pending on the encoding circumstances.
For details, refer to the user manual of
your own encoding software and writing
software.
MP3
❒It is recommended to set the bit rate
to “128 kbps or more” and “fixed”.WMA
❒It is recommended to set the bit rate
to “64 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
❒Do not set the copy protect attribute
on the WMA file to enable this unit to
play back.
NOTE:
Never assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma” file
name extension to a file that is not in the
MP3/WMA format. This may not only
produce noise from the speaker damage,
but also damage your hearing.
Recording MP3/WMA
files on a CD-media
❒You are recommended to minimize the
chances of making a disc that contains
both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA files.
❒If CD-DA files are on the same disc as
MP3 or WMA files, the songs may not
play in the intended order, or some
songs may not play at all.
❒When storing MP3 data and WMA da-
ta on the same disc, use different fold-
ers for each data.
❒Do not record files other than
MP3/WMA files and unnecessary fold-
er on a disc.
❒The name of an MP3/WMA file should
be added by rules as shown in the fol-
lowing descriptions and also comply
with the rules of each file system.
