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).

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.

EON FUNCTION (Enhanced
Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that
group multiple broadcasters that transmit
traffic information together. In this case,
the program of the station that is being lis-
tened to will be temporarily interrupted
to:
❒receive traffic information (only with
the TA function on);
❒listen to regional transmissions each
time they are transmitted by one of the
broadcasters in the same circuit. EMERGENCY ALARM
RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency an-
nouncements in RDS mode in exception-
al circumstances where dangerous situa-
tions are threatened (earthquakes, floods,
etc.) if these are being transmitted by the
broadcaster tuned into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The word Alarm will be shown in the dis-
play during the transmission of an emer-
gency announcement. The volume of the
radio will change during this announce-
ment in the same way as during a traffic
bulletin.STEREOPHONIC
BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the repro-
duction is automatically switched from
Stereo to Mono.
