If the radio has BLUE&ME™, refer to the appropriate
“BLUE&ME™ User’s Manual” for further information.

The instructions for use are given below and we recom-
mend you to read them carefully.

Suggestions

Road Safety
Please, learn how to use all different radio functions (e.g.
store stations) before beginning to drive.

Reception Conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while driving.
Reception may be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges, or when you are far
away from the broadcaster.

WARNING!

Having the volume turned up high can cause the
driver to no be able to hear important traffic sounds,
i.e. sirens, horns, etc. This could cause an accident.
Always adjust the volume so that you can still hear
background noises.

Care And Maintenance
Clean the cover with a soft antistatic cloth only. Cleaning
and polishing products could damage the surface.

CDs
The presence of dirt, scratches or distortions on the CDs
could cause skipping and poor sound quality while it is
playing. For optimal playback conditions, follow these
guidelines:

• Only use branded CDs.

158

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

• Clean every CD thoroughly removing any finger

marks or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the
outside and clean them from the middle outwards.

• Never use chemicals (e.g. antistatics or thinners or

sprays) for cleaning as they could damage the surface
of the CDs.

• After listening to them place CDs back in their boxes

to prevent them from being damaged.

• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high tempera-

tures or moisture for long periods.

• Do not stick labels on the CD surface or write on the

recorded surface with pencils or pens.

• Do not use CDs that are very scratched, flawed,

distorted, etc. Using discs like these will result in
malfunctions or damage to the player.

• The use of original CD media is required for the best

quality audio production. Correct operation is not
guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were
not correctly burned and/or with a maximum capacity
above 650 Mb.

• Do not use commercially available protective sheets

for CDs or discs, with stabilizers, etc. as they could get
stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.

• If a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few

seconds before the system starts to play it. The CD
player cannot be guaranteed to play all protected
discs. The fact that the CD is protected from being
copied is often shown in very small letters or is
difficult to read on the actual CD cover where it may
be, for example, “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY PRO-
TECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC”.
