SOUND SYSTEM
Entering the secret code
When turning the sound system on (in the
event of code request), the display will show
the word “CODE” for about 2 seconds, fol-
lowed by four dashes “- - - -”.
The secret code comprises four figures from
1 to 6, each corresponding to one of the
dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding key of the preset stations
(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in
the same way.
If the four figures are not entered within 20
seconds, the display shows the word
“CODE” for 2 seconds and then fours dash-
es “- - - -”. This is not to be considered as an
incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 sec-
onds), the radio starts working.
If a wrong code is entered, the radio sounds
a beep, the display shows the word “CODE”
for 2 seconds and then fours dashes “- - - -”
to warn the user that it is necessary to en-
ter the correct code.Every time the user enters a wrong code,
the waiting time increases gradually (1 min,
2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,1h,
2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) until reaching a max-
imum of 24 hours. The waiting time will
be shown on the display with the word
“WAIT”. When this goes off it is possible
to start the new code entry procedure.
Code Card
This the document that certifies possession
of the radio. The Code Card contains the ra-
dio model, serial number and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card carefully to
be able to give the related data to the com-
petent authorities in the event of theft.ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The radio is fitted with an antitheft protec-
tion system based on the exchange of in-
formation between the radio and the elec-
tronic control unit (Body Computer) installed
on the car.
This system warrants the highest level of se-
curity and prevents entry of the secret code
every time the radio supply is disconnected.
If the result of the check is positive, the set
starts working, whereas if the comparison
codes are not the same or if the electronic
control unit (Body Computer) is replaced,
the device informs the user of the need to
enter the secret code according to the pro-
cedure described in the following paragraph.
