If the check has a positive outcome, the

radio will start to function, whereas if

the comparison codes are not the

same or if the electronic control unit

(Body Computer) is replaced, the

device will ask the user to enter the

secret code according to the procedure

described in the paragraph below.

Each time the user enters an incorrect

code, the waiting time will gradually

increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16

min, 30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h)

up to a maximum of 24 hours.

178) 179) 180) 181) 182) 183)

The radio has been designed according

to the specifications of the passenger

compartment, with a personalised

design matching the style of the

dashboard perfectly.

The waiting time will be shown on the

display with the text "Radio blocked/

wait". After the text has disappeared it

is possible to start the code entering

procedure again.

TIPS

Entering the secret code

Road safety

When the radio is switched on, if the

password is requested, the display will

show "Radio code" for about 2

seconds, followed by four dashes "- - -

-".

Please, learn how to use all different

radio functions (e.g. save stations)

before beginning to drive.

Vehicle radio passport

This document certifies the ownership

of the vehicle radio. The radio passport

shows the radio model, serial number

and secret code.

Care and maintenance

The secret code is made up of four

digits from 1 to 6, each corresponding

to one of the dashes.

Clean the cover with a soft anti-static

cloth only. Cleaning and polishing

products may damage the surface.

IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in

a safe place so that you can give the

information to the relevant authorities if

the radio is stolen.

To enter the first digit of the code, press

the button corresponding to the

pre-selected stations (from 1 to 6).

Enter the other code digits in the same

way.

ANTITHEFT PROTECTION

The radio is equipped with an anti-theft

protection system based on the

exchange of information between the

radio and the electronic control unit

(Body Computer) present on the

vehicle.

In the case of loss of the vehicle radio

passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,

taking an ID document and the vehicle

ownership documents.

If the four digits are not entered within

20 seconds, the display shows the text

"Enter code - - - -". If this occurs, it is

not considered an incorrect code entry.

After entering the fourth digit (within

20 seconds), the car radio will work.

If an incorrect code is entered, the radio

will emit a sound and the display

shows the text "Radio blocked/wait" to

notify the user of the need to enter

the correct code.

This system guarantees maximum

safety and prevents the secret code

from being entered each time the radio

power supply is disconnected.

182) Looking at the display for a long time:

while driving, do not use any function

that requires looking at the display for a

long time. Pull over in a safe and legal

manner before attempting to access a

function of the system that requires

prolonged attention. Even occasional short

glances at the display may be hazardous

if your attention is diverted from driving at a

critical moment.

"Pause" function

WARNING

To pause the CD player, press the

button. The words "CD Pause" will

appear on the display.

178) If the volume is too loud this could be

dangerous for the driver and for

passengers when driving in traffic. Always

adjust the volume so that you can still

hear background noises.

To resume listening to the track, press

the button again. If another audio

source is selected, the pause function

is deactivated.

179) Multimedia CDs include data tracks in

addition to the audio tracks. Playing this

type of CD can cause hissing at a volume

that may jeopardise road safety as well

as cause damage to the final stages and

the speakers.

183) Setting the volume: do not turn the

volume up too high. Keep the volume at a

level where you can still hear outside traffic

and emergency signals while driving.

Driving while unable to hear these sounds

may cause an accident.

CD MP3 PLAYER

In addition to playing normal audio

CDs, the car radio can also play

CD-ROMs on which MP3 format

compressed audio files are recorded.

The radio operates as described in the

"CD Player" chapter when an ordinary

audio CD is inserted.

180) Using some of the system functions

whilst driving can distract attention away

from the road, risking an accident or other

serious consequences; they should

therefore be used only when driving

conditions allow it and, if necessary, only

with the vehicle stationary.

WARNING

72) Do not press the eject button

accidentally when inserting a CD.

Selecting next/previous folder

Press the button to select one of the

next folders or press the button to

select a previous folder.

181) WARNING: Looking at the system

when driving can divert attention from the

road, with the risk of accidents or other

serious consequences. Do not change the

system settings or load data while driving.

Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner

before carrying out these operations.

Adopting these precautions is important

since setting or changing some functions

may require the driver to be distracted from

the road and remove their hands from the

steering wheel.

The display will show the number and

the name of the folder (e.g. “DIR 2

XXXXXX”).

If no other folder/track is selected

during the next 2 seconds, the first

track contained in the new folder will be

played.

If the last track in the folder at that

moment selected is played, the next

folder will be played.
