Roger beep signal
Frequency: 2kHz, approx: 150ms.
Auditory signal volume:
- Listening volume < 30: auditory signal volume = 30 (fixed auditory signal volume)
- Listening volume 30: auditory signal volume paralle to the listening volume
Last status
After switching the radio on / off, it continues to operate with the following settings. If the volume level was above 30 steps, the equipment will resume playing at level 30.
Cd eject
To eject the disc, press the eject button Δ (only if the radio is on). The disc will be ejected and the source listened to prior to playing the CD will be heard.
If the CD is not removed from the radio, the radio will recharge it 30 secs later remaining in tuner mode.
If the user reinserts the CD ejected from the radio without having removed it first, the radio will remain in tuner mode
Switching source
To access and change available sources, press the SRC button.
| Available sources | CD inserted | CDC with CDs inserted |
|---|---|---|
| TUNER,CD, CDC, TUNER, ... | X | X |
| TUNER, CD, TUNER, ... | X | |
| TUNER, CDC, TUNER; ... | X | |
| TUNER |
At each change of source, the new source is displayed for 2.5 secs:
_ _ _ _ T U N E R _ _ _ (RDS side)
_ _ _ _ C D _ _ _ _ (RDS side)
_ C D - C H A N G E R _ (RDS side)
Whilst the message is displayed, the last source is played.
If no CDs are inserted or the CD CHANGER Is not connected, the following is displayed:
_ _N O C D _ _ (RDS side)
Alternative frequency search
To activate / deactivate the alternative frequency search for the station selected, press the AF/TA button for a while (> 1sec). The letters RDS will still be shown on the display (if available) and the ''AF'' symbol will be displayed if the AF function has been activated.
If the radio is in AM mode when the AF/TA button is pressed, the tuner mode will move on to the FM1 at the last station selected.
Manufacturer''s pre-defined setting: AF on
Traffic information
To activate / deactivate the traffic news function, press the AF/TA button briefly (<1 sec.).
| Information on Display Indication Side | Station which is broadcasing traffic information | Traffic information function activated |
|---|---|---|
| "TP" | X | |
| TA | X |
If the traffic news function is activated, but the radio station selected does not broadcast traffic information, an auditory message (beep) will be sounded every 30 secs.
If the broadcaster is on the AM band and the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (<1 sec), the tuner will tune into the last FM station listened to. If the station selected does not broadcast traffic information, the search will commence and an auditory signal will be produced.
If the source activated is CD or CDC or the telephone or mute functions (volume 0) are activated and the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (<1 sec), the traffic information function will be activated and traffic bulletins will be transmitted. If the last source selected was the AM radio, the tuner will switch to FM1 for the last broadcaster selected. If the station selected does not broadcast traffic information, the search will commence
Traffic news volume:
- Listening volume < 30: Traffic news voume = 30 (fixed volume)
- Listening volume 30: Traffic information volume equal to the listening volume +1
If the vehicle leaves the area covered by the radio station tuned into, this is what happens:
- Tuner Mode: an auditory signal is produced every 30 secs
- CD or CDC Mode or telephone or mute function activated: a tuning search is launched (there is no visual or auditory information)
If the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (<1 sec.) during the transmission of a traffic bulletin, the news will no longer be transmitted even if the traffic news function (TA) continues to be activated.
If a traffic news flash is being transmitted, the following will be shown on the display:
_I N F O _ T R A_ (RDS side)
Whilst a traffic bulletin is in progress, the outside display will show the latest information received.
General information on traffic news:
- During a traffic bulletin the audio function can be activated using the ''AUD'' button.
- There are no separate audio values, in other words the audio will be adoped even after the traffic message.
- The alteration of the volume during a traffic bulletin will not be confirmed on the display. The value regulated is only valid for the individual bulletin.
- During a traffic bulletin it is possible to recall a programme using the preselection buttons (the traffic bulletin will only be deactivated if in radio mode).
- It is possible to change source during a traffic bulletin using the SRC button (the traffic bulletin will be deactivated).
Setting pre-defined by the Manufacturer: TA off
Pty31

Autostore (automatic programming)
Press the BN button for a whilst ( >1 sec, followed by auditory signal) to activate the Autostore function. With this function the radio programmes the six stations with the strongest signal in decreasing order of intensity for the signal on the FMT frequency band. If the traffic information function is activated, only stations broadcasing traffic information are programmed.
The following information is shown on the display during the automatic programming process:
_ A - S T O R E (RDS side)
If the autostore process is activated in CD or CDC mode or the source is changed, this process will take place in the background.
Each station is only programmed once
Exception: for regional programmes the second digit of the Pl cannot be taken into consideration during the autostore process, so that the same broadcater could be programmed with 2 different Pl codes
To interrupt the automatic programming process, press the BN button again (the last station selected before the programming process was started will be selected).
At the end of the autostore function, the system will automatically activate the 1st station preselected on the FMT level. If less than six stations can be received, the preselection buttons remaining free will be represented by four horizontal lines for 2 secs and the last broadcaster listened to will be reproduced.
_ _- - - - _ _ (RDS side)
The word ''SEARCH'' will be shown on the outside display during the autostore process.
General information when the autostore function is activated:
- At the start of the autostore function, all the other functions and menus are disabled;
- Pressing a button with a function for the radio (e.g. PTY, >>, <<, preselection buttons) will interrupt the autostore function, the last station listened to before the start of the process will be tuned into and the function associated with the button selected will be carried out;
- Pressing the TA button during the autostore process will interrupt the process, the TA function will be activated / deactivated and a new autostore process will be initiated.
- The autostore process will not be interrupted by changing source.
Mute function
Press the ON button briefly (< 1 sec.) to activate/deactivate the Mute function. If the Mute function is activated, the volume will decrease in 800 msecs. from the current volume to the value 0e the display will show:
- _ M U T E _ _
If the Mute function is deactivated, the volume will increase by 0 to the value previously listened to in 800 msecs. and the display will show whatever was displayed before the activation of the Mute function.
General information when the Mute function is activated:
- Pressing the volume button deactivates the Mute function and alters the listening volume
- All the functions and the menu can be used
- If a traffic bulletin is received (with the TA function activated) or a PTY31 message is received, the activated Mute function will be be ignored
Soft mute function
The Soft Mute function is activated if one of the 6 preselection buttons is used
If one of these buttons is pressed, the volume decreases with a soft mute effect. The ramp is set to reach volume 0 from the current volume in one second
If the button is pressed for:
<1sec. the moment it is released the volume will increase with a soft demute This ramp is set to reach the current volume the current volume from 0 in 500 msec.
pressing the button for a second, an auditory signal is produced (station programming). At the end of the auditory signal, the volume is the current volume (no soft demute).
Outside display mode (n.b. function not described in the owner''s handbook)
It is possible to select between two modes by pressing the BN button and preselection button 2 simultaneously within 5 secs of switching the radio on. The two modes are:
- RDS display: (RDS-name on, NAME-on) The RDS name of the broadcaster selected (if available) is shown on the outside display in place of the frequency
- Frequency display: (RDS-name off, NAME-off) The outside display always shows the frequency of the radio station
The radio shows the mode selected for 2 secs.
For example:
- N A M E _ O N _ (RDS side)
- N A M E _ O F F (RDS side)

If the radio is on and the engine is switched off, the radio switches off.
If the radio is off and the engine is started up:
- If the radio was on before the engine was started, it remains on
- If the radio was off before the engine was started up
Name-rds mode (south american market only)
Briefly (<1 sec) pressingthe AF/TA button activates / deactivates the Name-RDS function:
- Name -RDS on: the display shows the name of the broadcaster (if available) instead of the frequency
- Name -RDS off: the display always shows the frequency of the broadcaster
The radio shows the mode selected for 2 secs, e.g.:
_-_RDS_ON_ (RDS side)
_ RDS_OFF_ (RDS side)
If the Name-RDS mode is off, then the AF function is also off
Setting pre-defined by the Manufacturer: RDS ON
Audio adjustments
The 7 band graphic equalizer depends on the hardware the loudness, bass, treble and 2IC 2 band parameteric equalizer (for the specific car sound) are memorized in the EEPROM
If ''BOSE'' amplifier is connected to the radio, all the audio curves depend on the ''BOSE'' specifications
Volume
The volume can be adjusted in 67 steps from VOL 0 to VOL 66 using the VOL + and VOL - buttons.
The volume level appears on the display for 4 seconds.
Example:
_ _ V O L _ 2 3 _ (Information side)
The volume screen disappears as soon as another function is selected.
If the volume level is changed during a traffic news bulletin, then this setting only remains valid for the current traffic bulletin. Later on, the equipment will adjust to the original level. If the traffic news bulletin ends whilst the volume is being changed, then the level will continue to change starting from the setting activated prior to the transmission of the traffic bulletin (including the display information).
Speed volume control
Information from bus CAN.

If the station is programmed, 2 seconds later the station number will be displayed on the information side for 5 secs.
Example:
_ P 1_ (Information side)
Pre-selection buttons (from 1 to 6)
Pre-selections:
- 18 x FM (6 x FM 1, 6 x FM 2, 6 x FMT (STORE))
- 6 x MW
- 6 x LW
- 6 x type of PTY programme (FM mode only)
To recall the desired pre-selected station, select the frequency band desired and then press the relevant pre-selection button briefly (< 1 sec.).
The preselection number will appear on the display (rather than the band, e.g. FM2) on the information side and the frequency will appear on the RDS side for 2 secs before the frequency band and the name of the RDS appear (if available0.
If the Pl code cannot be received on the frequency pre-set for a button, the radio will start to search for this Pl on another frequency as soon as the vehicle leaves the area covered by the first frequency.
The following appears on the display:
_ S E A R C H _ (RDS side)
If the Pl memorized cannot be received on any frequency, after having searched the entire, the radio will tune into the programmed frequency.
The station tuned into will be programmed by pressing the preselection button for a while ( =1 sec). The system always programmes the frequency and the Pl code.
The programming process is confirmed by an acoustic signal.
Automatic tuning
Press the up / down button (^/v) briefly (<1 sec.) to start the automatic tuning of the next station that can be received in the direction selected. If the button is pressed for longer (>1 sec) the rapid search will start. Once the first station with good reception is tuned into, the tuner will stop for 1 sec (in mute) before the rapid search continues. When the button is released, the tuner stops at the next station which can be received.
If the traffic news function is activated, the system only searches for stations which broadcast traffic news.
If the PTY function is activated, the system will only search for PTY stations.
During the search, the display alternately shows the type of the programme and the word SEARCH (every 2 secs).
If the frequency is the same as the frequency programmed in the pre-selection on the same band (FM1, FM2, FMT, MW, LW), then the pre-selectino number will appear on the display for 5 secs.
The outer display will show the word SEARCH during the automatic search.
Manual tuning
To start the gradual tuning in the direction selected, press the left / right button (<</>>) briefly (< 1 sec.). If the button is pressed for longer (>1 sec) then the rapid function is carried out as long as it is pressed.
If the PTY function is activated, then it must be deactivated in order to use this function.
If the AF function is activated, then it must be deactivated in order to use this function.

BOSE HIFI SYSTEM
A sophisticated ''Bose'' HI FI system with special speakers and an outside amplifier is available on request.
Function
The system has been developed ad hoc for the vehicle: the acoustic properties of the passenger compartment have been carefully studied so that the amplifier and the speakers are perfectly suited to the vehicle: the sound is excellent throughout the passenger compartment.
In addition, the system blends in perfectly with the aesthetics of the vehicle, without taking up extra space.
The system is installed in the vehicle directly in production, without any operations afterwards: the cables are incorporated in the vehicle wiring.
It is therefore advisable not to modify the original system in any way (e.g. graphic equalizers, additional sub-woofers, extra amplifiers).
In addition, the system components (amplifier and speakers) should not be repaired individually, but can only be replaced with new components.
Performance
The Bose system guarantees the highest quality sound, with crystal clear high notes and deep, rich low tones.
With the following specifications:
- Volume compensation, through the ''active'' Bose equalizing
- High/low tone control, from + 6dB to - 12 dB
- Fader control, through the Bose ''spatial'' fader
Optimum frequency response, according to graphics given below:
- Output distorsion < 2%, with all controls at maximum
- Dynamic output range > 112 dB
- Cassette reproduction interference reduction, with Dolby type B NR
COMPOSITION
Unlike the system fitted as standard, the Bose systme includes:
- front/rear speakers specific
- rear woofer speaker
- high power amplifier
The Bose system is completed by a microphone, located in the centre console, which detects background noise inside the passenger compartment: the signal sent for amplification allows the optimum regulation and equalization of output levels
The other components (radio, aerial, etc.) are the same as those on the system fitted as standard.
Location
The diagram below illustrates the location of the components.

2 - Front door mid-range speakers
3 - Front door tweeter speakers
4 - Ambient microphone
5 - Rear mid-range speakers
6 - Rear tweeter speakers
7 - Rear sub-woofer speaker
8 - Amplifier
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Speakers
Specifcations
The high fidelity BOSE speakers are composed of a magnetic ferrite core for both the mide range speakers and the tweeter, in addition, the mid range speakers have a treated paper membrane and textile material. The moving coil support is made from aluminium.
Rear woofer speaker
Specifcations
This is a high fidelity woofer speaker with a special bass box incorporated which diffuses the sound in an optimum manner preventing vibrations and interference.
It is located together with the amplifier on the left hand side of the luggage compartment.
Amplifier
Specifcations
It is a 5 channel, hifi amplifier with 200W power, 4 analogue amplifiers and a 100W class D impulse amplifier.
The amplifier has 4 stereo channels for the speakers in the front and rear doors and a mono channel for the rear woofer.
The amplifier is equipped with a built in equalizer and compressor.
The high resolution equalizer is specially calibrated in the vehicle passenger compartment because it takes into account the vehicle absorption and reflection surfaces (seats, windows, dashboard, door panels) and the position of the speakers and the passengers.
The ''two stage'' technology allows high power with compact dimensions and reduced heat emission compared with a traditional linear amplifier.
The amplifier is fitted with:
- an integrated signal processor, which actively adapts the bass;
- an active equalizer, with automatic electronic balancing of all outputs
- an integrated compressor which minimizes distortions
