traffic alerts and news.
Care And Maintenance
Observe the following precautions to ensure
the system is fully operational:
•The display lens should not come into con-
tact with pointed or rigid objects which
could damage its surface; use a soft, dry
anti-static cloth to clean and do not press.
•Never use alcohol, gas and derivatives to
clean the display lens.
•Prevent any liquid from entering the sys-
tem: 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.
