GENERAL FUNCTIONS

On / off

With the ignition key in the ACCESSORIES or IGNITION position, press the "M" button to switch the set on

or off.

ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

The first time you use the set following disconnection of the set or the battery, you must enter the confiden-

tial code which was given to you on handover of your vehicle.

Entering the code

Switch the set on.

The display shows "CODE" then the set changes over to code request mode and "- - - -" is displayed.

Enter your four-digit code number using buttons "1" to "6".

For example: if your code is 5345 press buttons "5", "3", "4" and "5" in turn.

When the fourth number has been entered correctly, the radio starts automatically.

Error in entering the code

If an error is made when entering one of the first three digits, do not continue the operation and switch off the

radio to prevent blocking it.

Each incorrect code entry will result in the set being blocked for a period of from 5 seconds to 30 minutes,

after the 7th incorrect entry.

To unblock the set, leave it switched on during the waiting period. When "- - - -" is displayed, you can enter

the code again.

If the set is switched off during the waiting period, this waiting period will restart when the set is switched on

again.

After 14 incorrect code errors the radio will be permanently blocked.

RADIO

Notes on radio reception

Your car radio receiver is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic sets. Both amplitude modula-

tion (MW/LW) and frequency modulation (FM) reception are subject to various forms of interference which

are not a reflection on the quality of your set, but are due to the nature of the signals and the way in which

they are transmitted.

On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing underneath high voltage power lines or bridges or in

tunnels.

On FM, interference may be the result of distance from the transmitter, reflection of the signal by obstacles

(mountains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in a shadow area (an area which is not covered by a transmitter).

Selecting the radio

Press the "SRC" button, until the radio is selected.

Selecting a waveband

By short presses on the "BND/AST" button, you can select the FM1, FM2, FM3 and AM wavebands.

Automatic station search

Briefly press button "J" or "K" to search for the next station up or down the waveband. By continuing to press

the button in the direction selected, you will obtain continous scrolling of the frequency.

The scrolling stops at the first station found as soon as you release the button.

If the TA traffic programme is selected, only stations broadcasting this type of programme are selected.

Searching for a station occurs first in "LO" sensitivity (selection of the most powerful transmitters, while scan-

ning the waveband, then in "DX" sensitivity (selection of weaker and more distant transmitters).

Manual station search

Press the “MAN” button.

Briefly press button “J” or “K” respectively to increase or reduce the frequency displayed.

By continuing to press the button in the direction selected, you will obtain continuous scrolling of the frequency.

Scrolling stops as soon as you release the button.

Pressing the “MAN” button again returns you to automatic station search.

125

A U D I O - S Y S T E M

Manual storing in memory of stations

Select the station required.

Press for more than two seconds one of the buttons “1” to “6”.

The sound stops then becomes audible again, confirming that the station has been stored in memory.

Automatic storing in memory of FM stations (autostore)

Press the “BND/AST” button for more than two seconds, to automatically store the 6 stations with the

strongest signal in FM. These stations are stored in the FM3 waveband.

- If it is not possible to find 6 stations, the remaining memories are empty.

Recall of stations stored in memory

For each waveband, briefly pressing the buttons “1” to “6” recalls the corresponding stored station.

RDS FUNCTION

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) function on FM

RDS allows you to continue to listen to the same station, whatever frequency it is using for the region you are

going through.

Switch the function on or off by briefly pressing the “RDS” button.

RDS station following

The display indicates the name of the station selected. The radio is continually searching for the station which

has the best reception and which is transmitting the same programme.

126

A U D I O - S Y S T E M

Traffic information programmes

Press the "TA" button to switch the function on or off.

Any traffic information flash will be given priority, whatever source you are listening to (radio, cassette or CD).

If you wish to interrupt a message, press the "TA" button; this switches off the function.

Note: the volume of the traffic information announcements is independent of the volume of normal

radio listening. You can adjust it using the volume button. The setting will be stored and will be used

when the next messages are broadcast.

While traffic information is being broadcast, the display will alternately show “TRAFFIC” and the name of the

station.

When the station selected cannot broadcast traffic information, the display shows “NO TA”.

Regional following mode (REG)

When they are part of a network, certain stations broadcast regional programmes in the various areas they

serve.

With regional following mode you can keep listening to the same programme.

To do this press the “RDS” button for more than two seconds to switch this function on or off.

CASSETTE

Selecting cassette mode

When a cassette is inserted, the cassette player will start automaticaily.

If a cassette is already inserted, press the "SRC" button until the cassette is selected.

Ejecting the cassette

Fully press both buttons "E" and "F" to eject the cassette from the player.

Direction of play

The player will play sides 1 and 2 of the cassette alternately, by automatically reversing the direction of play

at the end of a side.

To manually reverse the direction of play, press both buttons "E" and "F" part way.

Fast forward/rewind

Fully press one of the buttons "E" or "F" to fast forward or fast rewind the cassette. At the end of the fast

forward rewind, the set plays the current side.

Note: - During fast forwards or rewind of a cassette, the audio system will automatically play the last

radio station.

General precautions for use:

- Use good quality cassettes.

- Avoid the use of cassettes exceeding 90 minutes.

- Never expose cassettes to heat or direct sunlight.

- Return cassettes to their box immediately after use to protect them from dust and to avoid accidental unwin-

ding of the tape.

- After prolonged use of the cassette player, build-up on the head of the player can cause reduced reproduc-

tion of the treble, or even the total failure of one or both tracks. To solve this, use a cleaning cassette that

plays like an ordinary cassette (approximately every 50 hours).
