I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone may not be visible.Check that your telephone has Bluetooth
switched on.
Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible
to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with
the system. You can check the compatibility of your
telephone at the Brand's website (services).
The volume of the telephone connected in
Bluetooth mode is inaudible. The sound depends on both the system and the
telephone.Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume
of the telephone if necessary.
Ambient noise affects the quality of the
telephone call. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the
windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow
down, etc.).
The contacts are not listed in alphabetical order. Some telephones offer display options.
Depending on the settings chosen, contacts can
be transferred in a specific order.Modify the telephone directory display settings.

differences when changing source.Check that the audio settings are adapted to the
sources listened to. Adjust the audio functions
to the middle position.
When the engine is off, the system stops after
several minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's

6As 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.

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
