barred), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking"
is not on, the sound will be cut when the
digital signal is too weak.

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.
