2014 FIAT PANDA Esc

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFEFiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement
of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly compatible with the ecosystem.
To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to
European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering their customers the
opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
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, go to one of our Dealerships or
Fiat-authorised collection and scrapping centres. 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 a Fiat and Fiat
Commercial Vehicle Dealership or by calling the toll-free number 00800 3428 0000 or on the Fiat website.

SYSTEM RESET function
This 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 text “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-UP
If 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 incoming
telephone sound always arrives at a fixed volume, but
it can be adjusted during the conversation using the
ON/OFF button/knob.
The fixed telephone audio volume can be adjusted
using the "SPEECH VOLUME" function in the Menu.
The text “PHONE” appears on the display during the
telephone audio deactivation.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----".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.

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 BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the reproduction is
automatically switched from Stereo to Mono.
CD PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This section describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD player: as far as the operation of
the radio is concerned, refer to the description in the
"Functions and Adjustments" chapter.
SELECTING THE CD PLAYER
To activate the CD player built into the equipment,
proceed as follows:
❒insert a CD with the equipment switched on: the
first track will start to play;

CD MP3 PLAYERINTRODUCTION
This chapter only describes the variants regarding the
operation of the CD MP3 player: as far as the
operation of the radio is concerned, refer to the
description in chapters "Radio" and "CD MP3 Player".
NOTE MPEG Layer-3 audio decoding technology
licensed from Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson
multimedia.
MP3 MODE
In addition to playing regular audio CDs, the radio is
also able to play CD-ROMs on which audio files have
been stored using the MP3 compression format. The
radio operates as described in the "CD Player"
chapter when an ordinary audio CD is inserted.
To guarantee optimal playback quality it is advisable
to use good quality CDs mastered at the lowest
speed possible.
The files on an MP3 CD are structured by folder,
creating lists of all the folders containing MP3 tracks
(folders and subfolders are all displayed on the same
level); the folders that do not contain MP3 tracks
cannot be selected.
The operating conditions and specifications for
playing MP3 files are as follows:
❒the CD-ROMs used should be burnt according to
the ISO 9660 standard;❒the music files must have an ".mp3" extension: files
with a different extension cannot be played;
❒the following sampling frequencies can be played:
44.1 kHz, stereo (96 to 320 kbit) - 22.05 kHz,
mono or stereo (32 to 80 kbit);
❒tracks with a variable bit-rate can be reproduced.
Note
The names of tracks must not contain the following
characters: spaces, ' (apostrophes), ( and ) (open and
close brackets). During the burning of a MP3 CD,
make sure that the names of the files do not contain
these characters; if they do, the radio will not be able
to play the tracks involved.
