The volume at which the traffic news is
transmitted depends on the listening vol-
ume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news
volume equal to 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news
volume equal to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during the traffic
news, the level will not be shown on the
display; the new level will only be main-
tained during the traffic news in progress.
While traffic information is being received,
“TRAFFIC INFORMATION” will appear
on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by
pressing any button on the car radio.REGIONAL MODE function
(reception of regional
transmissions)
Some national broadcasters transmit re-
gional programmes at certain times of the
day (that vary from region to region). This
function makes it possible to tune into lo-
cal (regional) broadcasters automatically
(see “EON function” paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune
into the regional stations being broadcast
on the selected network, the function
must be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
buttons ÷or ˜.
The current status of the function appears

❒“REG OFF” function deactivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have
tuned into a regional station working in a
given area and you enter a different area,
then the regional station received in the
new area will be broadcast.
IMPORTANT If the AF and REG functions
are active at the same time, once a bor-
der between two regions is crossed, the
radio may not switch correctly to a valid
alternative frequency.MP3 DISPLAY Function

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange
of information between the radio and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
present on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety
and prevents the secret code from being
entered each time the radio power supply
is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to function, whereas if the
comparison codes are not the same or if
the electronic control unit (Body Com-
puter) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according
to the procedure described in the para-
graph below.Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the se-
cret code is requested, the display will
show “CODE” for about 2 seconds fol-
lowed by four dashes “- - - -”.
The secret code is made up of four digits
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the button corresponding to the pre-se-
lected stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the
other code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show four
dashes “- - - -”. If this occurs, it is not con-
sidered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the car radio will work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display shows the
text “WAIT” to notify the user of the
need to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually increases
(1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,
1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) to a maximum of
24 hours. The waiting time is shown on
the display with the word WAIT. After the
text has disappeared it is possible to start
the code entering procedure again.Code card
This document certifies the ownership of
the car radio. The Code Card contains the
model of the radio, the serial number and
the secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card some-
where safe so that the authorities can be
supplied with the relevant information
if the radio is stolen.

is reserved to broadcasters stored
automatically using the “A-STORE” func-
tion.PRESET BUTTONS
The buttons numbered from 1 to 6 are
used to set the following preselections:
❒18 in the FM band (6 in FM1, 6 in FM2,

sions));
❒12 in the MW band.
To listen to a preset station, select the de-
sired frequency band and then press briefly
the corresponding preset button (from 1
to 6).
By pressing the preset button for more
than 2 seconds, the tuned station will be
stored. The storing phase is confirmed by
a beep. INTRODUCTION

function that was selected before turning
it off (Radio, CD,CD MP3) is activated.

other audio source is being listened to,

pending on the desired band.

AUTOSTORE FUNCTION
(automatic station storing)
To activate the Autostore function, hold
the FMas button pressed until a beep is
heard. With this function, the radio auto-
matically stores the 6 stations with the
strongest signal in a decreasing order on
the FMA frequency band.
During the automatic storing process, the
text “A-STORE” flashes on the display.Press the FMas button again to stop the
Autostore function: the radio will again
tune into the station listened to before the
activation of the function.
When the Autostore function is over, the
radio will automatically tune into the first
preset station on the FMA band stored on
the preset side 1.
The stations that have a strong signal in the
preselected band at that moment, are then
automatically stored on the buttons num-
bered from 1 to 6.
When the Autostore function is activat-
ed within the MW band, the FMA band is
automatically selected and the function
is performed.IMPORTANT Sometimes the Autostore
function is not able to find 6 stations with
a strong signal. In this case, the strongest
stations stored will be duplicated in the
free preset buttons.
IMPORTANT When the Autostore func-
tion is activated, the stations that were
previously stored in the FMA band are
deleted.
