To load the CD, insert it gently into the slot to activate
the motorised loading system, which will position it
correctly.
The CD can be loaded with radio off and the ignition key
turned to MAR: in this case the radio will remain off.
When the radio is turned on, the last source listened to
before being switched off will be activated.
When a CD is inserted the display will show the symbol

displayed for the whole time required for the radio to

automatically be reloaded about 20 seconds later and the
Tuner mode will be tuned into (Radio).
The CD cannot be ejected if the radio is off.
If the ejected CD is reloaded without having removed it
completely from the slot, the radio will not switch to the

text “CD Disc error”.
The CD will then be ejected and the audio source
activated before the CD mode selection will be heard.

ejected until these functions are terminated. At the end,
with the CD mode activated, the display will show the
text “CD Disc error” for a few seconds and then the
CD will be ejected.

temporarily interrupted. The radio will automatically
turn to the Radio (Tuner) mode and the display will

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
FGA 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, FGA 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 its 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, contact an FGA Dealership or 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 an Abarth Dealership or by
calling the freephone number 00800 22278400 or on the Fiat website.
