INTRODUCTION ADVICE
The sound system, of fixed type, is
fitted with audiocassette player
(radio with audiocassettes) or CD
player (radio with Compact Disc
player) or CD MP3 player (radio
with Compact Disc MP3 player) and
sound graphic equaliser. The sound
system has been designed according
to the specific passenger compartment characteristics. The special
design is in line with the style of the
dashboard.
The radio is installed in a userfriendly position for the driver and
passenger and the graphics on the
front panel make location of the controls quick, facilitating use.
The CD Changer for 5 discs, if present, is housed in the upper glove
box of the dashboard, on passenger
side.
Below you will find the instructions
for use, which you are advised to
read through carefully. The instructions also contain the procedure for
controlling the CD Changer through
the radio. For the instructions for
use of the CD Changer refer to the
specific manual.

Road safety
You are advised to learn how to
use the various radio functions (e.g.:
storing stations) before starting to
drive.
WARNING
Too high a volume when
driving can put the driver’s
life at risk and that of other people.
Therefore the volume should always be adjusted in such a way that
it is always possible to hear the
noises of the surrounding environment (e.g.: horns, ambulance, police sirens, etc.).
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly when driving. Reception may
be disturbed by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges particularly when far away from the station being listened to.
IMPORTANT When receiving
traffic information, the volume may
be higher than normal.
Care and maintenance
The radio structure ensures long
operation with no need for particular maintenance. In the event of a
fault, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Do not expose cassettes to the sun
or high temperatures and put them
back in their boxes after use. To
obtain optimum playing conditions
do not use poor quality cassettes
and in any case no longer than C-90.
To clean the front panel only use a
soft, antistatic cloth. Cleaning and
polishing products might spoil the
surface.
Cassettes
To obtain optimum playing conditions we give the following advice:
– do not use poor quality cassettes,
with distortions or labels detached;
– never leave the cassette in the
radio when not in use;
– never insert other objects in the
cassette slot;
– do not expose cassettes to the
sun or high temperatures;
– put cassettes back in their boxes
after use;
– over time, dirt on the playing
head caused by tapes may reduce the
high notes when playing. You are
therefore advised to clean the head
routinely using a special cleaner
taper of the non abrasive type;
– preferably use C-60 cassettes and
in any case no longer than C-90 to
ensure the best playing conditions;
– avoid inserting cassettes with
damage tapes in the radio, especially
if using C-90 cassettes, as the tape
might come out and get stuck;
– do not lubricate the cassette
mechanism;
– do not touch the player head
with magnetic or hard objects.
Compact Disc
Remember that dirt, marks or distortion on Compact Disc can cause
skipping. For top performance conditions, we give the following advice:
– Only use Compact Discs which
have the following brand:
– Carefully clean all Compact Discs
of fingerprints and dust using a soft
cloth. Support Compact Discs from
the outer circumference and clean
from the centre outwards.
– Never use chemical products for
cleaning (e.g. spray cans, antistatic or
thinners) as they might damage the
surface of Compact Discs.
– After use, put Compact Discs
back in their container, to avoid
marks or scratches that may cause
skipping when playing.
– Do not expose Compact Discs to
direct sunlight, high temperatures or
damp for prolonged lengths of time
to prevent them from bending.
– Do not stick labels or write on
the recorded surface of Compact
Discs with pens or pencils.
To remove a Compact Disc from
its container, press the centre and
raise the disc carefully, holding it by
the outer circumference.
Removing the disc
Estrazione del disco
Proper way to hold the
Modo corretto di tenere
compact disc
il compact disc
Always hold Compact Discs by the
outer circumference. Never touch
the surface.
5
To remove fingerprints and dust,
Errato
Penna a sfera
Ruvidità
Errato
Errato
Errato
Errato
use a soft cloth starting from the
centre of the Compact Disc outwards.
New discs may be rough around
the edges. When these discs are
used, the player might not work or
the sound might skip. To remove the
roughness from the edge of the disc
use a ball-point pent, etc.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
To obtain the best sound quality, use
original CD supports. Correct operation is not ensured if not correctly
written CD-R/RW supports and/or
with capacity higher than 650 MB are
used.
6
No
IMPORTANT Do not use the protective sheets for CD in commerce or
discs with stabilisers, etc. as they might
get stuck in the internal mechanism
and damage the disc.
IMPORTANT if the CD is copyprotected, the system may need few
seconds before starting to play it.
Notes on Compact Discs
Do not stick labels on the surface
of the Compact Disc or write on the
surface with pens or pencils.
No
Do not use solvents like stain
removers, antistatic sprays or thinners in commerce for cleaning
Compact Discs.
No
Do not use highly scratched,
cracked, or distorted discs, etc. The
use of these discs will involve malfunctioning or damage to the player.
No
Do not expose Compact Discs to
direct sunlight or any source of heat.
No

AS
tion, keep the 13 (BAND
) button pressed. With this function the
radio automatically stores the stations with the strongest signal in
decreasing order of intensity of the
FMAST frequency band.
IMPORTANT Activating the

The display will show the station
name (if any) and frequency, and on
the bottom line of the display will be
shown “Pn” where n corresponds
to the active presetting number.
In bands FM1, FM2, FM3 and
FMAST, if reception is poor and the
AF alternative frequency search
function is active, the station with
the strongest signal that is broadcasting the same programme will be
sought automatically.
AF function (alternative frequency search)
To turn on/off the alternative frequency search function (AF function), press briefly (less than 1 sec-
PTY
ond) the 8 (AF
) button. The
name RDS (if available) stays on the
display and if the AF function has
been turned on the messageAF
SWITCHING: ON is displayed.
– “AF SWITCHING: ON” =
alternative frequency search on
– “AF SWITCHING: OFF” =
alternative frequency search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two
cases may occur:
– With “AF SWITCHING: ON”
the RDS system activates automatic
tuning of the optimum frequency of
the station chosen, with the stations
enabled, therefore the radio is automatically tuned to the station with
the strongest signal that is broadcasting the same programme. During
the journey it will thus be possible to
continue listening to the station chosen without having to change the frequency when changing area. Of
course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the
car is crossing.
– With “AF SWITCHING:
OFF” the radio will not tune the
strongest station automatically and it
will have to be found manually using
the tuner buttons.
TA function (traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (in
FM1, FM2, FM3 and FMAST storing
sections) are enabled to also broadcast information about traffic conditions. When listening to traffic information the display shows "TRAF-
FIC INFO" and the current station
(e.g. station name) alternately.
To turn the TA (traffic information)
function on/off, briefly press (less
than 1 second) the 9 (TA) button. If
the function is on the display shows
“TA-ON”.
With the TA function on, at the
start of the traffic bulletin the radio
stops temporarily the current station or the cassette/CD in order to
broadcast traffic information. This is
possible only if the current station
selected and the station broadcasting
traffic information are connected for
the EON function.
