Alternative frequency search

To activate / deactivate the search for alternative frequencies for the station selected, press the AF/TA button for a whilte (1 sec., acoustic signal follows). The RDS name will still be shown on the display (if available) and the 'AF symbol will appear on the information side if the AF function is activated.

If the radio is in AM mode when the AF/TA button is pressed, the Tuner mode will move to the FM 1 band for the last station selected.

Setting pre-defined by the Manufacturer: AF on

Traffic information

To activate / deactivate the traffic information function,press the AF/TA button briefly (<1 sec).

If the traffic information function is activated, but the radio station selected does not broadcast traffic information, an auditory signal (beep) will be produced 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 news, the search will start and an auditory signal will be produced

If the source activated is CC or CDC, telephone or mute (volume 0) and the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (< 1 sec.), the traffic information function is activated and the traffic messages will be transmitted. If the last source was AM, the tuner will switch to FM1 at the last broadcaster selected.

If the station selected does not broadcast traffic information, the search will commence

Traffic information volume:

• Listening volume < 30: Traffic information volume = 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, the description of what happens is given below:

• Tuner mode: a warning signal is activated every 30 seconds
• CC or CDC mode, telephone activate, or mute function activate: a tuning search is launched (there is no visual or auditory information)

If the AF/TA button is pressed briefly (<1 sec) during the broadcast of a traffic bulletin, the bulleting will no longer be transmitted, even if the traffic information function (TA) continues to be activated.

If a traffic bulletin is transmitted, the following will be shown on the display:

- I N F O _ T R A (RDS side)

Whilst the outer display will continue to show the last indication (frqeuency, name, CD time)

By pressing the AF/TA button briefly (<1sec), whilst a traffic message is being broadcast this ------ is interrupted and the traffic information function continues to be activated

General information on traffic news:

• The audio function can be activated during a traffic bulletin using the 'AUD button
• There are no separate audio values, this means that the audio will be adopted even after the traffic bulletin.
• Changing the volume during a traffic bulletin will not be confirmed on the display. The value adjusted is only valid for that bulletin.
• During a traffic bulletin it is possible to recall a programme using the preselection buttons and the traffic bulleting will be deactivated
• During a traffic bulletin it is possible to change source using the predefined SRC button (the traffic bulleting will be deactivated).

Setting pre-defined by the Manufacturer: TA off

Autostore (automatic programming)

Press the BN button for a while (>1sec. followed by auditory signal) to activate the Autostore function (automatic programming). Through this function the radio programmes the six stations with the strongest signal in decreasing order of intensity for signals on the FMT frequency. If the traffic information function is activated, only stations broadcasing traffic information are programmed.

The following information appears on the display during the automatic programming process:

_ A - S T O R E (RDS side)

If the autostore process is activated in CC or CDC mode, or the source is altered, this process will take place without the display of messages and without interrupting the CC or CDC.

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 broadcaster could be programmed using different Pl codes.

To interrupt the automatic programming process, press the BN button again (the last station selected before the start of the programming process will be played).

At the end of the Autostore function, the system will automatically activate the 1st station preselected at 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 is activated:

• At the start of the autostore function, all the other functions and the menu are disabled;
• Pressing a button with a function relating to 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;
• If the TA button is pressed during the autostore process, the latter will be interrupted, 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.

Recommended operations:

• Stack the speakers on one another when unpacking
• Place the speakers near metal parts In the case of very small parts, these could get into the gap and produce noises
• Twist the terminals once the electrical connection is fitted
• Rest on the speaker membrane during the fitting stages
• Perforate the speaker membrane with a screwdriver during the fitting stages
• Touch the cone (warning: it is one of the most delicate parts)
• Never let the speaker come into contact with solvents

Recommended operations:

• Always handle the speaker using the plastic structure without touching the membrane and other moving parts
• Discard speakers which been subject to impacts and visually inspect that there are no distortions
• Remove any protection before fitting them on the vehicle.

GLOSSARY

Tweeter

Speaker for the reproduction of high frequency sounds

Mid-range

Speaker for the reproduction of mid frequency sounds (neither high nor low).

Wide-range

Speaker for the reproduction of sounds in a wide frequency range

Woofer

Speaker for the reproduction of very low frequency sounds: prevents the onset of vibrations caused by these frequencies.

SPECIFICATIONS:

A sophisticated 'Bose' HI FI system with special speakers and an outside amplifier is available on request.

Operation

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 coaxial type specifications
• rear woofer speaker
• high power amplifier

The other components (radio, aerial, etc.) are the same as those on the system fitted as standard.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

FRONT SPEAKERS

Specifcations

The speaker for the HI FI systems which are matched with BOSE systems have coaxial specifications, i.e. a single container houses a mid-range and a tweeter. The speaker has one single supply connector.

Composition

Location

The front speakers are located in the lower partof the doors.

Type

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.

The tweeters have a plastic membrane and a support for fitting co-axially on the mid- range.

REAR SPEAKERS

Specifcations

See front speakers.

Location

The rear speakers are located in the rear panel.

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.

Composition

Location

It is located on the left side of the rear parcel shelf

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

Composition

Location

It is located in the rear compartment on the left hand side.

from 02/04 · BOSE system

Starting from January 2004, a new 5000 series amplifier will be fitted with the same specifications as the previous one but with more advanced technological solutions.
