Radio
Selecting a station
The external environment (hills,  buildings, tunnels, basement car parks, 
...) may block reception, including in RDS 
mode. This is a normal effect of the way in 
which radio waves are transmitted and does 
not indicate any failure of the audio 
equipment.
Press the SRC/TEL button repeatedly to 
select the radio.
Press BAND  to select a waveband. 
Press LIST to display the list of stations 
received, in alphabetical order.
Select the desired radio station by turning 
the thumb wheel then confirm by 
pressing.
  
A press changes to the next or previous letter 
(e.g. A, B, D, F, G, J, K, ...).
A long press on LIST builds or updates  the list of stations; audio reception is cut 
momentarily.
RDS
RDS, if displayed, makes it possible to 
continue listening to the same radio 
station using the alternative frequencies 
function. 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.
With the radio displayed on the screen, 
press OK to display the contextual menu.
Select "RDS" and confirm to save.
"RDS" is displayed in the screen.
Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function  gives priority to TA alert messages. To 
operate, this function needs good reception of 
a radio station that carries this type of 
message. When a traffic report is transmitted, 
the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) 
is interrupted automatically to play the TA 
message. Normal play of the media 
previously playing is resumed at the end of 
the message.
Press TA  to activate or deactivate the 
reception of traffic messages.

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with  extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a 
compression rate that is constant or variable 
between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
File names should have less than 20 
characters, avoiding special characters 
(e.g.: “
  ?   ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or 
display problems.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and 
.pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 500 
directories on a maximum of 8 levels.
On a single disc, the CD player can read 
up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8 
directory levels. However, it is recommended 
that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the 
time taken to access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not observed during 
playback.
In order to be able to play a burned CDR 
or CDRW, select standards ISO 9660 
level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible when burning the 
CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may not 
be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning 
standard is always used on an individual disc, 
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum) for 
the best acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the 
Joliet standard is recommended.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB 
device other than audio players to the 
USB port. This may cause damage to your 
installation.
Playing a compilation
Insert an MP3 compilation in the CD player or 
connect a memory stick to the USB port, directly 
or via an extension lead.
The system creates playlists (temporary  memory); this operation can take from a 
few seconds to several minutes.
The playlists are updated every time the 
ignition is switched off or a USB memory stick 
is connected.
Play starts automatically after a certain 
amount of time depending on the capacity of 
the USB memory stick.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT 
32  (File Allocation Table).
On first connection, the order suggested is 
by folder. When connecting again, the order 
previously chosen is retained.
To play a disc or memory stick which has  already been inserted, press the  SRC/
TEL button repeatedly and select " CD" or "USB".

With Sound Staging, the driver and the 
passengers are immersed into a "sound 
stage" recreating the natural atmosphere of a 
theatre: truly centre stage in surround sound.
This new sensation is possible thanks to 
the software installed in the radio which 
processes the digital signals of the media 
players (radio, CD, MP3...) without changing 
the setting of the loudspeakers. This 
process takes into account the features of

the passenger compartment for optimum 
performance.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your audio 
system processes the digital signals of all 
the media players (radio, CD, MP3...) and 
makes it possible to recreate a natural sound 
setting, with a harmonious placement of the 
instruments and voices in space, facing the 
passengers, positioned at the height of the 
windscreen.
Frequently asked 
questions
The following information groups together the  answers to the most frequently asked questions 
concerning your audio system.
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, etc.).
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 ambience setting, treble 
and bass are reset to zero.
Choosing an ambience 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.
When changing the balance setting, 
distribution is deselected.
Choosing a distribution setting imposes a 
balance setting. Modifying one without the other 
is not possible.
Modify the balance or distribution settings to 
obtain the desired sound quality.
The reception quality of the tuned radio 
station gradually deteriorates or the stored 
stations are not working (no sound, 87.5 Mhz 
is displayed, etc.).
1.The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of 
the station or no transmitter is present in the 
geographical area.
Activate the RDS mode and start a new search 
for the station so that the system can check 
whether a stronger transmitter is available in the 
geographic area.
2.The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, 
basement car parks, etc.) block reception, 
including in RDS tracking mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not 
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
3.The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for 
example when going through an automatic car 
wash or in an underground car park).
Have the antenna checked by the network 
PEUGEOT.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2
  seconds in radio 
mode.
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS 
searches for another frequency giving better 
reception of the station.
Switch off the RDS function if the phenomenon is 
too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I 
do not receive any traffic information.
The radio station does not broadcast traffic 
information.
