INTRODUCTIONThe radio has been designed according to the
passenger compartment's specific characteristics
and with a personalised design that complements
the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We
recommend that you read them carefully.
TIPS
Road safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car radio
functions (e.g. storing radio stations), before
starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while
driving. Reception may be interfered with by the
presence of mountains, buildings or bridges, or
when you are far away from the broadcaster.
NoteThe volume may be increased when receiving
traffic alerts and news.
WARNING
If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic. Always
adjust the volume so that you can still hear
background noises.Maintenance and care
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may damage the
surface.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may
cause skipping during playback and poor sound
quality. Follow these tips for optimum playback
conditions:
❒only use CDs with the brand:
❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them from the
centre towards the edge;
❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic or
thinner spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;
❒after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
