TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and
FMA) can broadcast information about traffic
conditions.
In this case the text "TA" appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select
“Traffic info”;
❒press the
orbuttons to activate/deactivate
the function.
❒If the TA function has been activated, the icon
“TA” lights up on the display.
NoteIf 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.
NoteIn 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.

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.MP3 DISPLAY function
(MP3 CD data displaying)
This function makes it possible to select the
information shown by the display when listening
to a CD containing MP3 tracks.
The function can only be selected if an MP3 CD is
inserted: in this case "MP3 Display" will appear
on the display.
To change the function, use the
orbuttons.

SPEED VOLUME function
(speed-based volume change)
(excluding versions with 360° HI-FI MUSIC
system)
This function automatically adapts the volume
level to the speed of the car, increasing the volume
when the speed increases to maintain the ratio

RADIO ON VOLUME function
(radio volume limit activation/deactivation)
This function makes it possible to
activate/deactivate the volume limits when the
radio is turned on.
The display shows the function status:
❒“Radio on vol – Limit on”: when the radio is
switched on the volume level will be: – if the
volume level is equal to or higher than the
maximum value or higher, the radio will come
on at the maximum volume;– if the volume level is between the minimum and
maximum values, the radio will come on at the
same volume as before it was switched off
❒"Radio on vol – Limit off": the radio will come
on at the volume level it was at before switching
off. The volume level can be between 0 and 40.
To change the setting of the selected function, use
the
/buttons.
NOTES
❒Using the Menu it is only possible to adjust the
activation/deactivation of the function and not
the minimum or maximum volume value.
❒If the "TA" or "TEL" functions or an outside
audio source are activated when the radio is
turned on, the radio will come on at the volume
set for these sources. The volume can be
adjusted between the minimum and the
maximum level, by deactivating the external
audio source.
❒If the battery charge is low, it will not be
possible to adjust the volume between the

SOUND-SYSTEM

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----".
If this occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code
entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds),
the car radio will start to work.
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.
291
SOUND-SYSTEM
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
entering procedure again.

Car radio passport
This document certifies ownership of the radio.
The car radio passport shows the radio model,
serial number and secret code.
NoteKeep this car radio passport in a safe place
so that you can give the information to the
relevant authorities if the car radio is stolen.
In case of loss of the car radio passport, contact
the Lancia Dealership, taking an ID document and
the car ownership documents.RADIO (TUNER)
