o
n starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive th\
e
traffic information. Wait until the traffic information is being received
correctly (display of the traffic information icons on
the map).
The filters are too restrictive. Modify the "Geographic filter" settings.
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for the
traffic information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the traffic information available.
The altitude is not
displayed.
o
n starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 4 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
4
satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then
select "GPS coverage").
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel...) or the weather ,

I am unable to connect
my
b
luetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone
may not be visible. -
Check that your telephone's

function is switched on.
-
Check in the telephone settings that it is
"visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. Y
ou can check the compatibility of your telephone

The volume of the
telephone connected
in
b
luetooth 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, ...).

There is a long waiting
period following the insertion
of a C

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Some characters in the
media information are not
displayed correctly while
playing. The audio system does not display some types of characters.
Use standard characters to name tracks and
folders.
Playing of streaming files
does not start. The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play. Start the playback from the device.
The names of tracks and
the track length are not
displayed on the screen
when streaming audio. The Bluetooth profile does not allow the transfer of this information.
The quality of reception
of the radio station
listened to gradually
deteriorates or the stored
stations do not function
(no sound, 87.5
Mhz is
displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened\
to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the
vehicle is travelling.
a
ctivate the "R d S" function by means of the
short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the
geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) blo\
ck
reception, including in R
d S mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITR
o Ë n dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received. The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the \
title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.
The name of the radio
station changes.

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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 battery charge.
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.
Playback of my US
b
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time\
).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the US
b port at the
same time, I am unable
to play the music files. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the US
b
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with Apple
® players.
d
isconnect and reconnect to the US b port (the
US b function takes priority over streaming).
