The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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 equipment 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.
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 C
d

play
stopping. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
