where the area in which the vehicle is travelling 
is not covered by the cellular network.
These languages, referred to as on-board 
languages, 
   
are downloaded into the system.

Connectivity
Connecting a wired device 
by USB
The USB connection of a portable device allows 
it to be recharged. It makes its authorised media 
content available to the system (Media content 
of iPod
® type).A single USB socket allows the Mirror  Screen connection (Apple®CarPlay® or 
Android Auto) for compatible connected 
portable
 
devices and to use certain applications 
from the device
 
on the touch screen.
For more information on the USB socket 
compatible with the Mirror Screen
® function, 
refer to the “Ease of use and comfort   - Fittings” 
section.
The portable device is in charging mode when 
connected with the USB cable.
It is recommended that you use the 
original USB cables of your devices, 
preferably with a minimal cable length to 
ensure optimum performance.
To protect the system, do not use a USB  hub.
Bluetooth® connection
The Bluetooth® connection of a portable device 
to the vehicle's system provides access to its 
contents and “Media” broadcasts. It also enables 
the Phone function to be activated.
The connection can be initiated either from the 
portable device's Bluetooth
® menu or from the 
vehicle's system, which requires opening the "My 
Devices" menu for the first connection.
In some cases, you may need to unlock 
your device as well as check 
authorization when synchronizing contacts 
and recent calls.
Some features may not be supported by 
your device.
For information on the partial or full 
compatibility of device models or 
smartphones, please connect to the Brand’s 
national website.

10Pairing procedure from a device
From the Bluetooth® menu on your 
portable device, select the system’s name 
from the list of detected devices.
In order to make your system’s 
Bluetooth® visible, first open the "My 
Devices " menu on the system.
Continue the first connection procedure 
proposed by the system and on the device.
For example: validations of the pairing codes.
Pairing procedure from the system
Press the "Settings" application. 
In the list, select the "Connectivity” tab.
Select "My Devices ". 
Select the name of the portable device 
you want to connect from:
–
 
The list of known devices (if the device has 
already been connected to the system).
or
–
 
The list of detected devices (if the device 
has never been connected to the system or 
previously deleted from the system).
A portable device already connected to  the system will be able to reconnect 
automatically when the vehicle is started once 
the user profile has been selected.
Automatic reconnection is put on hold as 
soon as the "My Devices" menu is opened. 
This is to allow the system to make its 
Bluetooth® visible for the connection of a new 
device.
The system is disconnected when the driver’s 
door is opened and the ignition is switched 
off.
Automatic reconnection
The system allows automatic reconnection of 
devices already connected and detected when a 
user profile is selected.
The priority
  reconnected devices are those which 
have been linked to the selected user profile or,

nearby
  Wi-Fi   networks.    This may take a few 
seconds.
Select the Wi-Fi network to connect to and enter 
its password.
To protect your system, only networks  with a sufficient level of security are 
allowed to connect. WPA2 encryption level, 
equivalent to a domestic level, is required.
Any network already connected to the  system will reconnect automatically as 
soon as it is detected by the system and after 
having previously activated the Wi-Fi function.
The Wi-Fi connection of the system to a  device already connected using a Mirror 
Screen
® wireless connection is not possible. 
In this case, favour a Mirror 
Screen
® connection using the USB socket.
Device management
For each device already connected to the 
system using a wireless connection (Bluetooth® 
or wireless Mirror Screen® connection), it is 
possible to determine a preferred connection 
mode (depending on the functions the device 
can support). It is therefore possible to determine 
whether the device should be connected using 
a wireless Bluetooth
® connection or a wireless 
Mirror Screen® connection each time the system 
is started once the profile is chosen.
