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.
