TIPS
Road safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car ra-
dio functions (e.g. storing radio stations),
before starting to drive. The radio has been designed according to
the passenger compartment’s specific char-
acteristics and with a personalised design
that is incorporated perfectly with the style
of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We
recommend that you read them carefully.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly
while driving. Reception may be interfered
with by the presence of mountains, build-
ings or bridges, or when you are far away
from the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be increased
when receiving traffic bulletins.
Care and maintenance
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static
cloth. Cleaning and polishing products could
damage the surface.
If the volume is too loud this
could be dangerous for the
driver and for passengers when dri-
ving in traffic. Always adjust the vol-
ume so that you can still hear back-
ground noises.

SOUND SYSTEM
❍do not stick labels on the surface of the
CD and do not write on the recorded sur-
face using pens or pencils;
❍do not use CDs that are clearly
scratched, flawed, distorted, etc. Using
discs like this will result in malfunctions
or damage to the player;
❍to achieve the best quality audio repro-
duction we recommend the use of orig-
inal CD media. If CD-R/RWs that have
not been correctly recorded and/or with
a maximum capacity above 650 MB are
used, correct operation is not guaran-
teed;
❍do not use the protective sleeves sold
for CDs or discs with stabilizers, etc. be-
cause they may get stuck in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc;
❍if copy-protected CDs are used, it may
take a few seconds before the system
starts playing them. The CD player is not
guaranteed to play all copy-protected
discs. The fact that the CD is protected
from being copied is often shown in very
small letters on the CD cover itself where
it may, for example, say “COPY CON-
TROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD
CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or
it may be identified through the use of
symbols, such as, for example:
❍The CD player is capable of reading most
compression systems currently in use
(e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUN-
HOFER) but, following the development
of these systems, the reading of all com-
pression formats is not guaranteed.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs
could cause problems and poor sound qual-
ity during playback. Follow these tips for op-
timum playback conditions:
❍only use CDs with the following brand :
❍clean every CD to remove any finger-
prints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them
from the middle outwards;
❍never use chemicals (e.g. anti-static
products or thinners or sprays) for clean-
ing as they could damage the surface of
the CDs;
❍after listening, place CDs back in their
cases to avoid damaging them;
❍do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,
high temperatures or damp for long pe-
riods;

fully designed to provide the best acoustic
performance and reproduce sound like a live
concert in all areas of the passenger com-
partment.
The system faithfully reproduces crystalline
high tones and provides full and rich bass
tones that make the loudness function su-
perfluous. The complete range of sound is
reproduced throughout the entire passenger
compartment so that the occupants are en-
veloped with the feeling of space experi-
enced when listening to live music.
The components used have been patented
and make use of the most sophisticated
technology whilst at the same time being
easy to use by even the most inexperienced
people.
