Care and maintenance
Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
❒ the display is sensitive to
scratching, liquids and detergents.
The display should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects
which 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: to insert the code,
turn the “BROWSE ENTER” right knob
and press to confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move
the cursor to “OK” and press the
“BROWSE ENTER” right knob: the
system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays “Code Error”
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.
