Receiving TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert 
messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a 
radio station transmitting 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 playback 
of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of 
the
  message. Press RADIO to display the menu.
Select "Service announcements" then 
confirm.
Activate or deactivate "TA " then confirm.
The volume setting for TA messages can be adjusted only during the 
transmission of this type of alert. Activate or deactivate the function at any time by pressing 
the button.
During a message, press the button to interrupt it.

CD, MP3 CD / USB player
The audio equipment will only play audio files with ".wma, .aac, .flac, 
.ogg and .mp3" file extensions and with a bit rate of between 32 Kbps 
and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of file (.mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
WMA files must be of the standard wma 9 type.
The sampling rates supported are greater than 32 KHz.
It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters, without using of 
special characters (e.g.: " " ?  ; ù) to avoid any playing and displaying 
problems.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording 
it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format (udf,
  ...), it may not be played 
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used 
for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) 
for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is 
recommended. Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage or iPod 
devices via the USB port (suitable cable not supplied).
If a partitioned USB memory key is connected to the 
system, only the first partition is recognised.
Control of the peripheral device is with the audio 
system controls.
The number of tracks is limited to 2000 maximum, 
999
  tracks per folder.
If the current consumption at the USB port exceeds 
500 mA, the system goes into protection mode and 
deactivates the port.
Other peripherals, not recognised on connection, must 
be connected to the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable 
(not supplied).
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32 (File Allocation Table).
The system does not support the operation of an Apple
® player and a 
USB memory stick connected at the same time.
It is recommended that official Apple
® USB cables are used to ensure 
correct operation.

memory stick in the USB player or connect the 
USB peripheral to the USB port using a suitable 
cable (not supplied).
The system builds playlists (in temporary 
memory), an operation which can take from 
a few seconds to several minutes at the first 
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the 
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition 
is switched off or connection of a USB memory 
stick. However, the system memorises these 
lists and if they are not modified, the loading 
time will be shorter.
Play starts automatically after a period which 
depends on the capacity of the USB memory 
stick.

FREQUENTLY ASKED  QUESTIONS
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 state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: economy mode is activated automatically to 
maintain the state of charge of the vehicle's battery, needed for engine 
starting. (See the "Energy economy mode" section). Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery 
charge.
Playback of my USB 
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 USB 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 USB 
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the 
track being played with Apple
® players.
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port (the 
USB function takes priority over streaming).

each time a USB memory stick is connected.
When connecting for the first time, the classification suggested 
is by folder. When you reconnect, the classification selected 
previously is retained.Connect the memory stick to the port, directly or 
using a lead. If the audio equipment is switched 
on, the USB source is detected as soon as it is 
connected. Play begins automatically after a delay 
which depends on the capacity of the USB memory 
stick.
The file formats supported are .mp3 (mpeg1 layer
  3   only) 
and .wma (standard 9 only, 128 kbits/sec compression).
Certain playlist formats are supported (.m3u, ...).
On reconnection of the previous memory stick used, 
play is resumed automatically with the last track 
played.
