Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2010 User Manual

RADIONAV

The car is equipped with a Radionavigator designed according to the specific characteristics of the passenger compartment, with a customised design that matches the style of dashboard.

The system is installed in an ergonomic position for the driver and passenger, and controls can be quickly located from the graphical display on the front, making the device easy to use.

To increase protection against theft, the Radionavigator has a protection system that only allows it to be used on the vehicle in which it has originally been fitted.

The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you read them carefully and always keep them to hand (for example, in the glove compartment).

Enjoy reading this manual. And enjoy driving your car.

The information in this publication is provided by way of example. Fiat Group Automobiles can modify the specifications of the vehicle model

described in this publication at any time, for technical or marketing purposes. For further information, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

TIPS, CONTROLS AND GENERAL INFORMATION

TIPS

ROAD SAFETY

Learn how to use the various system functions before setting off.

Read the instructions for the Radionavigator

If the volume is too loud this can be dangerous. Adjust the volume so that you can still hear background noises (e.g. horns, am-

bulances, police vehicles, etc.).

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 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 monitor is sensitive to scratching, liquid detergents and UV rays;

liquids that get inside could damage the system irreparably.

Only clean the front panel and the display with a soft, clean, dry, anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing products may damage the surface.

Avoid pointed or rigid objects coming into contact with the display and do not touch it. Whilst cleaning, do not exert pressure on

the display.

Do not use alcohol or similar products to clean the Radio-

navigator display or surround.

IMPORTANT NOTES

If there is a problem, the system should only be checked and repaired at an Alfa Romeo Authorised Service.

If the temperature is particularly low, the display may take a while to reach optimum brightness.

WARNING Never force the display movement manually. For closing or opening the display, exclusively use the suitable keys (see page 14).

If the car is stopped for a while and the outside temperature is very high, the Radionavigator may go into “thermal protection” mode, suspending operation until the temperature in the passenger compartment returns to acceptable levels.

CD

Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs could cause problems and poor sound quality during playback. Follow these tips for optimum playback conditions:

only use branded CDs:

clean every CD thoroughly removing any fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the outside edge and clean them from the middle outwards;

never use chemicals (e.g. anti-static products or thinners or sprays) for cleaning as they could damage the surface of the CDs;

after listening, place CDs back in their cases to avoid damaging them;

do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or damp 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.

do not use CDs that are clearly scratched, flawed, distorted, etc. Using discs like this will result in malfunctions or damage to the player.

To achieve the best quality audio reproduction we recommend the use of original CD supports. Correct operation is not guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were not correctly burned and/or with a maximum capacity above 650 Mb.

IMPORTANT Do not use the protective sleeves sold for CDs or discs with stabilizers, etc. because they could get stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.

6

IMPORTANT If copy protected CDs are used, it may take a few seconds before the system starts playing them. The CD player is not guaranteed to play all copy-protected discs. The presence of copy protection is often indicated in small letters or may be difficult to read on the cover of the CD; it may say something like, for example, “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC” or may be identified through the use of symbols, such as, for example:

IMPORTANT The CD player is able to read most of the compression systems currently on the market (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER) but as these systems are continually evolving, playback of all compression formats is not guaranteed.

IMPORTANT If a multi-session disk is loaded, only the first session will be played.
