INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the vehicle must carry the following label:
FGA S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving
devices provided that they are installed by a
specialised centre according to rules of good
engineering practice and in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the
vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that involve
modifications to the features of the vehicle. This may
also cause lapse of the warranty in relation to faults
caused by the change or either directly or indirectly
related to it.
FGA S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by
the installation of accessories either not supplied
or recommended by FGA S.p.A. and/or not installed
in compliance with the provided instructions.RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Transceiver apparatus (e.g. mobile phones, CB radios
etc.) should not be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate antenna is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of such devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external
antenna) may, in addition to potential damage to the
health of the passengers, cause malfunctions in the
vehicle electronic systems, compromising the safety
of the vehicle.
In addition, the transmission and reception of these
devices may be affected by the shielding effect of
the vehicle body.
With regard to EC-approved mobile phones (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), you should adhere strictly to the
instructions provided by the mobile phone
manufacturer.
