The brake fluid must conform to themanufacturer's recommendations and meet theDOT4 standard.
Th

the brake pad wear.
The reading will only be correct if the

SELECTING A STATION
The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park...) may interfere with the reception, including in RDS station tracking mode. This phenomenon
is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audio system.

PRESETTING A STATION


After selecting a station, press one of
the buttons on the numerical keypad for 2 seconds to preset the current station.
