Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in your vehicle. All work on the system must be carried out exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop, to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or mechanical faults. To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few minutes if the engine is not running.
The different functions and adjustments described vary according to the version and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it requires the sustained attention of the driver, the pairing of your Bluetooth telephone to the Bluetooth hands-free audio system must only be carried out with the vehicle stationary and the ignition on.

This explains the loss of reception of a station that can occur during a journey.
If RDS is not available, the RDS symbol appears barred in the screen.

When "DAB / FM auto tracking" is active, the DAB station will be selected automatically.
If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is activated, there will be a difference of a few seconds in the programme when the system changes to analogue "FM"
radio, with sometimes a variation in volume.
If the "DAB" station you are listening to is not available on "FM" (" DAB/FM " option barred), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking" is not on, the sound will be cut when the digital signal is too weak.

Media
USB port
This unit consists of a USB port and an auxiliary Jack socket, depending on version.
Insert a USB memory stick into the USB port or connect a USB peripheral device to the USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied). The system changes automatically to "USB" source. The system creates playlists (temporary memory), which can take from a few seconds to several minutes on the first connection. Reducing the number of non-music files and the number of folders reduces this waiting time. Playlists are updated every time a new USB memory stick is connected.

contextual menu for the Media function.
Press this button to select the play mode.
Press this button to confirm.

The choice made is displayed at the top of the screen.
While connected by USB, the portable device may be charged automatically.
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
Any additional equipment connected to the system must conform to the standard of the product or standard IEC 60950 -1.
