RIGHT HAND DRIVE VERSIONS

INTRODUCTION
The 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.
ADVICE
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.
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 following mark:
❒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;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and do not write on
the recorded surface using pens or pencils;

❒RADIO ON VOLUME (radio volume limit
activation/deactivation);
❒SPEECH VOLUME (telephone volume adjustment) (for

AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes using RDS:

When the function is activated, the radio automatically tunes into
the station with the strongest signal broadcasting the same
programme. While driving, the same station can be continuously
listened to without having to change the frequency when you
change zones.Obviously, it must be possible to receive the station that you are
listening to in the area you are driving through.
If the AF function has been activated, “AF” will light up in the
display.
If the AF function has been activated and the radio is not able to
receive the current station, the radio activates the automatic search,
during which “FM Search” appears on the display (only for top-of-
the-range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining RDS functions,
such as the display of the station name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)

❒press the MENU button briefly and select “Traffic info”;
❒press the
/buttons to activate/deactivate the function.
If the TA function has been activated, the “TA” icon 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.
