2011 Lancia Ypsilon CD player

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 remaining
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 broadcast information about traffic
conditions.
In this case the text "TA" appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select
“Traffic info”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate
the function.
❒If the TA function has been activated, the icon
“TA” lights up on the display.Note
If the TA function is activated 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 possible,
when reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that
the frequency tuned into is different from the one
previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in
FM and are enabled to broadcast traffic
information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD
player is in operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
Note
In some countries there are radio stations that,
even with the TP function activated, do not
transmit traffic information (the icon "TP"
appears on the display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band,
when TA is activated it will tune to the last
selected station in the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is
transmitted depends on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news volume 5
(fixed value);

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 radio off and the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON: in this case the
radio will remain off. When the radio is turned on,
the last source listened to before being switched off
will be activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will show the
symbol "CD-IN" and the text "CD Reading". They
will remain displayed for the entire time required
for the radio to read the CD tracks. When this
time has elapsed the radio automatically starts
playing the first track.
Press the
button (EJECT) with the radio 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 radio, 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 reloaded without having
removed it completely from the slot, the radio will
not switch to the CD source.Possible error messages
If the CD loaded cannot be read (e.g. a CD ROM
has been inserted or the CD is inserted the wrong
way round or there is reading error) the display
will show the wording "CD Disc error".
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source
activated prior to the CD mode selection will be
heard.
With an external audio source activated (TA,
ALARM or Phone), the CD that cannot be read
will be not be ejected until these functions have
ended. At the end, with the CD mode activated,
the display will show the text "CD Disc error" for
a few seconds and then the CD will be ejected.
If the CD player overheats the CD playing could
be temporarily interrupted. The radio will
automatically turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and
the display will show “CD hot” and then “CD disc
error”.
