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);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume
equal to listening volume +1.If the volume is changed during traffic news, the
level will not be shown on the display; the new
level will only be maintained during the news.
While traffic information is being received,
“TRAFFIC INFORMATION” will appear on the
display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing
any button on the car radio.

the regional stations being broadcast on the
selected network, the function must be activated.

you enter a different area, then the regional station
received in the new area will be broadcast.

time, once a border between two regions is
crossed, the radio may not switch correctly to a
valid alternative frequency.

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.
284
SOUND-SYSTEM

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.Code Card
This document certifies ownership of the car radio.
The Code Card shows the radio model, serial
number and secret code.
Note
Keep this Code Card in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant authorities
if the car radio is stolen.
