AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different
modes in the RDS system:
❒“AF Switching On”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies activated (the letters
“AF” appear on the display);
❒“AF Switching Off”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to switch the function
on/off:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF
Switching On”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the
function on/off.
With the function activated, the radio au-
tomatically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same
program. While driving, you can contin-
ue to listen to the same station without
having to change the frequency when you
change zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive
the station that you are listening to in the
area you are driving through.If the AF function is activated, “AF” will
light up on the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio is not able to receive the tuned
station, the radio activates the automatic
search, during which “FM Search” appears
on the display (only for top of the range
radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions, such as the display
of the station name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on
FM bands.TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the letters
“TA” will appear on the display.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA func-
tion on/off:
❒press the MENU button and select
“Traffic Info”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the
function on/off.
If the TA function is activated, “TA” will
light up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is acti-
vated with an audio source other than
Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, Telephone or
Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an
automatic search and therefore it is pos-
sible, when reactivating the Tuner (Radio)
source, that the frequency tuned into will
be different from the one set previously.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that
broadcast on the FM band, which are
enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the
CD player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume zeroed.

IMPORTANT In some countries there are
radio stations that do not broadcast traf-
fic information even with the TP function
activated (“TP” in the display).
If the radio is working on the AM band,
when the TA function is activated it will
switch to the last station tuned into on the
FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic update is
transmitted depends on the reception vol-
ume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news
volume 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news
volume equal to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic up-
date, the level will not be shown on the
display; the new level will only be main-
tained during the update.
The display will show the words TRAFFIC
INFORMATION whilst a traffic update is
being received.
The TA function can be interrupted by
pressing any button on the car radio.REGIONAL MODE function
(reception of regional broadcasts)
Some national broadcasters will transmit
regional programs 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 network selected, the function
must be activated.
To turn the function on/off, use the but-
tons¯or ˙.
The current status of the function will ap-
pear on the display:
❒“Regional On”: function activated;
❒“Regional 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.
WARNING If the AF and REG functions
are on at the same time, once a border
between two regions is crossed, the radio
may not switch correctly to a valid alter-
native frequency.MP3 DISPLAY FUNCTION
(Compact Disc MP3 data display)
This function makes it possible to select
the information shown by the display
when listening to a CD containing MP3
tracks.
The function can only be selected if a CD
MP3 is inserted: in this case “MP3 Display”
will appear on the display.
To change the function, use the ¯or ˙
buttons.
The following settings are available:
❒Title (track title, the ID3-TAG if avail-
able);
❒Author (track author, the ID3-TAG if
available);
❒Album (track album, the ID3-TAG if
available);
❒Folder name (folder name);
❒File name (MP3 file name).

outside audio source are activated
when the radio is turned on, the radio
will come on at the volume set for
these sources. When the outside audio
source is deactivated, the volume can
be adjusted between the minimum and
maximum levels.
❒If the battery charge is low, it will not
be possible to adjust the volume be-
tween the minimum and maximum lev-
els.

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)
on the vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum securi-
ty and avoids the secret code having to be
entered every time after the radio pow-
er supply is disconnected.
If the outcome of the check is positive, the
radio will start to work, whilst if the codes
compared are not the same or if the elec-
tronic control unit (Body Computer) is re-
placed, the equipment will notify the user
of the need to enter the password fol-
lowing the procedure in the paragraph be-
low.Entering the password
When the radio is switched on, if the pass-
word is requested, the display will show
“Radio code” for about 2 seconds fol-
lowed by four dashes “- - - -”.
The password is made up of four numbers
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first number, press the but-
ton corresponding to the preset stations
(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code num-
bers in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20
seconds, the display will show “Enter code
- - - -”. This event is not considered an in-
correct entering of the code.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20
seconds), the car radio will start to work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display will show
“Radio blocked/wait” to notify the user of
the need to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time will gradually in-
crease (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min,
30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) up to a
maximum of 24 hours. The waiting time
will be shown on the display by “Radio
blocked/wait”. After the message disap-
pears, the code entering procedure may
be started again.Code card
This document certifies ownership of the
car radio. The Code Card contains the
model of the radio, the serial number and
the password.
IMPORTANT Keep the Code Card some-
where safe so that the authorities can be
supplied with the relevant information if
the radio is stolen.

AUTOSTORE FUNCTION
(automatic station
storage)
To activate the AutoSTore function, press
down on the FMas button until you hear
the acoustic confirmation signal. With this
function, the radio automatically stores the
6 stations with the strongest signal in a de-
creasing order on the FMA frequency
band.

“Autstore” will appear flashing on the dis-
play.To interrupt the AutoSTore function,
press the FMas button again: the radio will
return to tuning into the station listened
to before the activation of the function.
When the AutoSTore function has finished,

first preset station on the FMA band stored
on the preset 1 side.
The stations that have a strong signal at
that moment are then automatically stored
in the preselected band in the buttons
numbered 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 does not manage to find 6 sta-
tions with a strong signal. In this case, the
strongest stations will be duplicated in the
free preset buttons.
IMPORTANT When the AutoSTore func-
tion is activated, the stations that were
previously stored on the FMA band are
deleted.
