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.
WARNING The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
information and news.
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

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. Please
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.
WARNING Keep the vehicle 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 Fiat 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
a Fiat Dealership.

the display may take a while to reach
