PHONE SET-UP
If a hands-free kit is installed on the car, when
there is an incoming phone call the radio audio
will be connected to the telephone output. The
incoming telephone sound is always at a fixed
volume, but it can be adjusted during the
conversation using the
ON/OFF button/knob.
The fixed telephone audio volume can be adjusted
using the "SPEECH VOLUME" function in the
Menu. The word "PHONE" will appear on the
display during the deactivation of the audio for the
phone call.
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 car.
This system guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being entered each
time the radio power supply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will
start to function, whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the device will ask
the user to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the paragraph below.Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the code is
requested, the display will show "Radio code" for
about 2 seconds followed by four dashes "----".
The code is made up of four numbers from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding button of the pre-selected stations
(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in the
same way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20
seconds, the display will show "Enter code----".
If this occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code
entry.
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 shows the text "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 increase (1 min, 2 min,
4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h,
16 h, 24 h) up to a maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the display
with the text "Radio blocked/wait". After the text
has disappeared it is possible to start the code
entering procedure again.

desired reception band.
Each time the button is pressed the following
bands are selected cyclically:
❒By pressing the FM AS button: “FM1”, “FM2”
or “FMA”;
❒By pressing the AM button: “MW1, MW2”.
Each band is highlighted by the name in the
display. The last station selected on the respective
frequency band will be tuned into.
282
SOUND-SYSTEM

The FM band is divided into sections: FM1, FM2
or "FMA"; the FMA reception band is reserved for
broadcasters stored automatically using the
Autostore function.
PRESET BUTTONS
The buttons numbered from 1 to 6 are used to set
the following preset stations:
❒18 in the FM band (6 in FM1, 6 in FM2, 6 in
FMT or "FMA" (on some versions);
❒12 in the MW band (6 in MW1, 6 in MW2).
To listen to a preset station, select the desired

corresponding preset button (from 1 to 6).
By pressing the preset button for more than 2
seconds, the tuned station will be stored. The
storing phase is confirmed by a beep.
STORING THE LAST STATION LISTENED TO
The radio automatically stores the last station that
was selected for each reception band, which is
then tuned into when the radio is turned on or
when the reception band is changed.AUTOMATIC TUNING
Briefly press the

The stations that have a strong signal at that
moment are then automatically stored in the
preselected band in the buttons numbered 1 to 6.
When the Autostore function is activated within
the MW band, the FMA band is automatically
selected and the function is performed.
Note
Sometimes the Autostore function is not able to
find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this case,
the strongest stations stored will be duplicated in
the free preset buttons.
Note
When the Autostore function is activated, the
stations that were previously stored in the FMA
band are deleted.EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in RDS
mode in exceptional circumstances where
dangerous situations 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 display
during the transmission of an emergency
announcement. The volume of the radio will
change during this announcement in the same way
as during a traffic announcement.

multiple broadcasters that transmit traffic
information together. In this case, the programme
of the station that is being listened to will be
temporarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic alerts (only with the TA function
activated);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time these
are broadcast by one of the broadcasters on the
same circuit.

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”.

When the CD player is in operation, information
appears on the display with the following
meanings:
❒"CD Track 5": indicates the number of the CD
track;
❒"03.42": indicates the time elapsed since the
start of the track (if the relevant Menu function
is activated).
