QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
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's Bluetooth function is 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 volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system, to maximum if required, and increase the volume of the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow
down, ...).
Contacts are not shown in alphabetical order. Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order. Modify the display setting in the telephone di r e c to r y.

There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source.
Check that the audio settings are adapted to the sources listened to. Adjust the audio functions to the middle position.
With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on the state of charge of the battery. The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.

Frequently asked questions 166
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.
