RADIONAV

The information in this publication is provided by way of example.

Fiat Group Automobiles can modify the specifications of the vehicle model

described in this publication at any time, for technical or marketing purposes.

For further information, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.

The car is equipped with a Radionavigator designed according to the specific characteristics of the passenger compartment,

with a customised design that matches the style of dashboard.

The system is installed in an ergonomic position for the driver and passenger, and controls can be quickly located from

the graphical display on the front, making the device easy to use.

To increase protection against theft, the Radionavigator has a protection system that only allows it to be used on the ve-

hicle in which it has originally been fitted.

The instructions for use are given below and we recommend you read them carefully and always keep them to hand

(for example, in the glove compartment).

Enjoy reading this manual. And enjoy driving your car.

TIPS

ROAD SAFETY

Learn how to use the various system func-

tions before setting off.

Read the instructions for the Radionavigator

carefully before setting off.

RECEPTION CONDITIONS

Reception conditions change constantly

while driving. Reception may be interfered

with by the presence of mountains, build-

ings or bridges or when you are far from the

broadcaster.

IMPORTANT The volume may be increased

when receiving traffic bulletins.

If the volume is too loud this

can be dangerous. Adjust the

volume so that you can still hear

background noises (e.g. horns, am-

bulances, police vehicles, etc.).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Observe the following precautions to ensure

the system is fully operational:

❍

the monitor is sensitive to scratching, liq-

uid detergents and UV rays;

❍

liquids that get inside could damage the

system irreparably.

Only clean the front panel and the display

with a soft, clean, dry, anti-static cloth.

Cleaning and polishing products may dam-

age the surface.

Avoid pointed or rigid objects

coming into contact with the

display and do not touch it. Whilst

cleaning, do not exert pressure on

the display.

Do not use alcohol or similar

products to clean the Radio-

navigator display or surround.

RADIONAV

IMPORTANT NOTES

If there is a problem, the system should on-

ly be checked and repaired at an Alfa Romeo

Authorised Service.

If the temperature is particularly low, the dis-

play may take a while to reach optimum

brightness.

WARNING Never force the display move-

ment manually. For closing or opening the

display, exclusively use the suitable keys

(see page 14).

If the car is stopped for a while and the out-

side temperature is very high, the Radion-

avigator may go into “thermal protection”

mode, suspending operation until the tem-

perature in the passenger compartment re-

turns to acceptable levels.

CD

Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs

could cause problems and poor sound qual-

ity during playback. Follow these tips for op-

timum playback conditions:

❍

only use branded CDs:

❍

clean every CD thoroughly removing any

fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth.

Hold CDs by the outside edge and clean

them from the middle outwards;

❍

never use chemicals (e.g. anti-static

products or thinners or sprays) for clean-

ing as they could damage the surface of

the CDs;

❍

after listening, place CDs back in their

cases to avoid damaging them;

❍

do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,

high temperatures or damp for long pe-

riods;

❍

do not stick labels on the surface of the

CD and do not write on the recorded sur-

face using pens or pencils.

❍

do not use CDs that are clearly

scratched, flawed, distorted, etc. Using

discs like this will result in malfunctions

or damage to the player.

To achieve the best quality audio reproduc-

tion we recommend the use of original CD

supports. Correct operation is not guaran-

teed when CD-R/RW media are used that

were not correctly burned and/or with a

maximum capacity above 650 Mb.

IMPORTANT Do not use the protective

sleeves sold for CDs or discs with stabilizers,

etc. because they could get stuck in the in-

ternal mechanism and damage the disc.

RADIONAV

IMPORTANT If copy protected CDs are used,

it may take a few seconds before the sys-

tem starts playing them. The CD player is

not guaranteed to play all copy-protected

discs. The presence of copy protection is of-

ten indicated in small letters or may be dif-

ficult to read on the cover of the CD; it may

say something like, for example, “COPY

CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD

CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC” or may

be identified through the use of symbols,

such as, for example:

IMPORTANT The CD player is able to read

most of the compression systems currently

on the market (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,

FRAUNHOFER) but as these systems are

continually evolving, playback of all com-

pression formats is not guaranteed.

IMPORTANT If a multi-session disk is loaded,

only the first session will be played.
