QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD...). To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source (radio, CD...).Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-
Rear Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience "None"
and set the loudness correction to the "Active"
position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position
in radio mode.
When changing the settings for treble and bass,
the ambience setting is deselected.
When changing the ambiance setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambiance imposes settings for
treble and bass. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.

continue listening to the same station
by automatic retuning to alternative
frequencies. However, in certain
conditions, coverage of an RDS station
may not be assured throughout the entire
country as radio stations do not cover
100% of the territory. This explains the loss
of reception of the station during a journey.

7The different functions and settings
described vary according to the version
and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it
requires sustained attention by the
driver, the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system must be
done with the vehicle stationary
and the
ignition on.
The system is protected in such a way that
it will only operate in your vehicle.
The display of the Energy Economy
Mode message signals that a change to
standby is imminent.
