PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS
LIFEFor years, Alfa Romeo has pursued a global commitment to protect and respect the environment by continually improving its production processes
and developing increasingly eco-compatible products. To ensure its customers the best possible service in compliance with environmental standards
and in response to obligations arising out of European Directive 2000/53/EC on end of life vehicles, Alfa Romeo offers its customers the chance
to hand back their vehicles (*) at the end of their life cycle at no additional cost.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses as a result of it
having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st
July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as
the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships or an Alfa Romeo authorised collection and
scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high-quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at
their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an Alfa Romeo Dealership or by calling the freephone
number 00800 2532 0000 or on the Alfa Romeo website.
(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats and a total permitted weight of 3.5 t

SOUND-SYSTEM

SYSTEM RESET functionThis function is used to restore all settings to the factory values.
The options are:
❒NO: no restore intervention;
❒YES: the default parameters will be restored. During this
operation, the word “Resetting” appears on the display. At the
end of the operation, the source does not change and the
previous situation will be displayed.PHONE SET-UPIf 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 telephone audio always arrives at a fixed volume, but it
can be adjusted during a conversation using the ON/OFF
button/knob.
The fixed telephone audio volume can be adjusted using the
"SPEECH VOLUME" function in the Menu (where the function is
provided). The word "PHONE" will appear on the display during
the deactivation of the audio for the phone call.
If there is no “SPEECH VOLUME” function in the Menu, volume
adjustment occurs in the same way as it does withBlue&Me™.
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTIONThe 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 avoids the entry of
the secret code 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
numbers in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20 seconds, the display will
show “Enter code----”.Ifthisoccurs, it is not considered an
incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the radio will
start to operate.

RADIO (TUNER)INTRODUCTIONWhen the radio is switched on, the last function selected before it
was switched off is activated: Radio, CD, CD MP3 or Media Player
(only withBlue&Me™) or AUX (only withBlue&Me™) (for
versions/markets, where provided).
To select the Radio function when another audio source is being
listened to, briefly press the FM AS or AM buttons depending on
the desired band.
Once the Radio mode has been activated, the display will show the

and repeatedly to select the 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.
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 BUTTONSThe 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 frequency band and
then briefly press the corresponding preset button (from 1 to 6).
By pressing the preset button for more than 2 seconds, the current
station will be stored.
The storing phase is confirmed by an acoustic signal.

SELECTING MP3 SESSIONS ON HYBRID
DISCSIf a hybrid disc is inserted (Mixed Mode, Enhanced, CD-Extra) also
containing MP3 files, the radio automatically starts playing the
audio session. It is possible to switch to the MP3 session whilst
playing by holding the MEDIA button down for more than 2
seconds.
NoteWhen the function is activated the radio may take a few
seconds to start playing. Whilst checking the disc the display will
show “CD READING”. If no MP3 files are detected, the radio will
resume playing the audio session from the point where it was
interrupted.
DISPLAY INFORMATIONID3-TAG information display
In addition to the information relating to the time elapsed, the
name of the folder and the name of the file, the radio is also
capable of displaying ID3-TAG information relating to the Track
Title, Artist and Author.
The name of the MP3 folder shown on the display corresponds to
the name with which the folder was stored on the CD, followed by
an asterisk.
Example of a complete MP3 folder name: BEST OF *.
When ID3-TAG data is chosen to be displayed (Title, Artist, Album)
that has not been recorded for the track played, the information
will be replaced by that relating to the name of the file.

AUX source: as far as the operation of the radio is concerned, refer
to the description in the “Functions and Adjustments” section.AUX MODETo activate the AUX source, press the MEDIA button or the SRC
control on the steering wheel several times until the corresponding
source is displayed.IMPORTANT

managed by the device itself; it is not possible to change
track/folder/playlist with radio or steering wheel controls.
Do not leave the cable of your portable player connected to the
AUX socket after disconnection, to avoid possible hiss from the
speakers.
NOTE The AUX socket is not incorporated in the radio. For its
position, refer to theBlue&Me™ Supplement and its Quick
Guide.
