Frequently asked questions

 4 The 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.
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 a 
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.

QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
With the engine off, the audio system switches 
off after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio 
system operating time depends on the state of 
charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system 
switches to economy mode and switches off to 
prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.Turn the ignition on to increase the charge of 
the battery.
The message "the audio system is overheated" 
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the 
surrounding temperature is too high, the audio 
system switches to an automatic thermal 
protection mode leading to a reduction in 
volume or the CD play stopping.Switch the audio system off for a few minutes 
to allow the system to cool.
Radio
QUESTION
RESPONSESOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between 
the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.). 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, 
e t c .) .Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are adapted 
to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set 
the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear 
Balance and 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.
