2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo change time

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.
NoteIn some countries there are radio stations that, even with the
TP function activated, do not transmit traffic information (the “TP”
icon appears on the display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when TA is
activated it will tune into 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
radio.
REGIONAL MODE function(regional transmission reception)
Some national broadcasters will transmit regional programmes at
certain times of the day (that vary from region to region).
This function makes it possible to tune into local (regional)
broadcasters automatically (see “EON function” paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune into the regional
stations being broadcast on the selected network, the function must
be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
or
buttons.
The current status of the function appears on the display:
❒“Regional On”: function activated;
❒“Regional Off”: function deactivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have tuned into a regional
station working in a given area and you enter a different area,
then the regional station received in the new area will be
broadcast.
NoteIf the AF and REG functions are on at the same time, once a
border between two regions is crossed, the radio may not switch
correctly to a valid alternative frequency.
251SOUND-SYSTEM

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.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.
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 entry procedure again.

SOUND-SYSTEM

When the AutoSTore function is activated within the MW band, the
FMA band is automatically selected and the function is performed
there.
NoteSometimes the AutoSTore function is not able to find 6
stations with a strong signal. In this case, the strongest stations will
be duplicated in the free preset buttons.
NoteWhen the AutoSTore function is activated, the stations that
were previously stored in the FMA band are deleted.EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTIONThe radio is configured to receive emergency alerts in RDS mode in
exceptional circumstances or where dangerous situations are
present (earthquakes, floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by
the current broadcaster.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be turned off.
The word “Alarm” will be shown in the display during the
transmission of an emergency announcement. The volume of the
radio will change during this announcement in the same way as
during a traffic bulletin.
EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)In some countries, there are circuits that group multiple
broadcasters that transmit traffic information together. In this case,
the programme of the station that is being listened to will be
temporarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic alerts (only with the TA function activated);
❒listen to regional transmissions each time these are broadcast by
one of the broadcasters on the same circuit.STEREOPHONIC BROADCASTERSIf the incoming signal is weak, playback is automatically switched
from Stereo to Mono.
