SERVICING AND CARE

TIPS, CONTROLS
AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system
functions before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system
carefully before setting off.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
bulletins.
Care and maintenance
Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
the display is sensitive to scratching,
liquids and detergents. Avoid hitting
the display with pointed or hard objects
that could damage its surface. Do not
press on the display when cleaning it.
never use alcohol, petrol or
petroleum-based solvents to clean the
display screen.
Prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
Anti-theft protection
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
system will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will
show “Please enter Anti-Theft Code”
followed by the screen showing a
keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four
digits from 0 to 9.If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays “Incorrect Code” to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
“Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Wait for
30 minutes”. After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial number
and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the car radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
In case of loss of the car radio
passport, contact the Abarth
Dealership, taking an ID document and
the car ownership documents.
Important notes
In the event of an anomaly, the system
should only be checked and repaired at
an Abarth Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low, the
display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
147

If the vehicle is stopped for a while and
the external temperature is very high,
the system may go into “thermal
protection” mode, suspending
operation until the temperature in the
passenger compartment returns to
acceptable levels.
Look at the screen only and when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look
at the screen for a long time, pull over
to a safe place so as not to be
distracted while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in
the event of a fault. Otherwise the
system might be damaged. Contact an
Abarth Dealership as soon as possible
to have the system repaired.AUX and USB
SOURCE
To connect an external device, use the
AUX input fig. 117.
To activate USB mode, insert a suitable
device into the car USB port.
IMPORTANT After using a USB
recharging socket, we recommend
disconnecting the device (smartphone).
Always remove the cable from the
vehicle socket first, never from
the device fig. 117. Cables left flying or
connected incorrectly could
compromise correct recharging and/or
the USB socket condition.
