IMPORTANT
Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by trees makes the
paintwork go opaque and increasing the possibility of corrosion.
Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratching.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth in the di-
rection of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and detergent for wash-
ing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the front head-
lights.
IMPORTANT When cleaning the car with a pressure washer, keep
the water jet at least 2 cm away from the headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine compartment thor-
oughly, taking care not to aim the jet of water directly at the elec-
tronic control units or at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold
and the ignition key in the STOP position. After the wash, make
sure that the various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.
Detergents cause water pollution. Only wash the
car in areas equipped for the collection and pu-
rification of the fluids used in the actual washing
process.
When drying take care to dry the least visible parts where the
water could collect most easily. Do not wash the car after it has
been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest
of the car.
In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of
the paintwork abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the variants regard-
ing the operation of the CD player: as far
as the operation of the radio is concerned,
refer to the description in the “Functions and
Adjustments” chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built-into the equip-
ment, proceed as follows:
❍load a CD with the device switched on:
the first track will start to play;
or
❍if a CD has already been loaded, turn on
the car radio and then briefly press the
CD button to select the “CD” operating
mode: the last track listened to will start
to play.
It is advisable to use original CDs to ensure
optimum playback. If CD-R/RWs are used,
we recommend using good quality media
mastered at the slowest speed possible.
LOADING/EJECTING A CD
To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot
to activate the motorised loading system,
which will position it correctly.
The CD can be loaded with the radio
switched off and the ignition key in the MAR
position: in this case the radio will remain
off. When the car radio is turned on, the last
source listened to prior to switching off will
be activated.
When a CD is loaded the display will show
“CD-IN” and the words “CD Reading”. They
will remain displayed for the entire time re-
quired for the car radio to read the CD tracks.
When this time has elapsed the radio will
automatically start to play the first track. Press the
˚button with the car adio on to
activate the motorised ejection of the CD.
After ejection, the last audio source listened
to before playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the car ra-
dio, it will automatically be reloaded about
20 seconds later and the Tuner mode will
be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the car radio is
off.
If the ejected CD is loaded without having
removed it completely from the slot, the
radio will not switch to the CD source.
