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 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----".Ifthis
occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds),
the car radio will start to work.
