Press "OK" to confirm. 
Radio reception may be affected by the 
use of electrical equipment not approved 
by the Brand, such as a USB charger 
connected to the 12 V socket.
The exterior environment (hills, buildings, 
tunnels, basement car parks, etc.) may 
block reception, including in RDS mode. 
This phenomenon is perfectly normal in the 
context of radio wave transmission, and 
in no way indicative of an audio system 
malfunction.
Presetting a station
Select a radio station or frequency.
(refer to the corresponding section)
Press "Presets ".
Make a long press on one of the buttons 
to preset the station.
Changing the waveband

To change the waveband, press "Band…", 
displayed at the top right of the screen.
Activating/Deactivating RDS
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue

retuning to alternative frequencies.
Press Radio Media to display the main 
page.
Press the "OPTIONS " button to access the 
secondary page.
Select "Radio settings". 
Select "General".
Activate/deactivate "Station follow ". 
Press "OK" to confirm. 
RDS station tracking may not be 
available nationwide, as many radio 
stations do not cover 100
  % of the country. 
This explains the loss of reception of the 
station during a journey.
Displaying text information
The "Radio Text" function displays information 
transmitted by the radio station relating to the 
station or the currently playing song.

function needs good reception of a radio station 
that carries this type of message. While traffic 
information is being broadcast, the current 
media is automatically interrupted so that the

TA message can be heard. Normal play of the 
previously playing media resumes at the end of 
the message.

Press "OK" to confirm. 
DAB  (Digital Audio 
Broadcasting) radio
Terrestrial Digital Radio
Digital radio provides higher quality sound.
The various "multiplexes/ensembles" offer a 
choice of radio stations organised in alphabetical 
order.
Press Radio Media to display the main 
page.
Press “Band …" at the top right of the screen to 
display the " DAB" waveband.
FM-DAB tracking
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the territory.
When the digital radio signal is poor, 
“FM-DAB 
  auto tracking" enables you to continue 
listening to the same station by automatically 
switching to the corresponding FM analogue 
station (if there is one).
Press Radio Media to display the main 
page.
Press the "OPTIONS " button to go to the 
secondary page.
Select "Radio settings". 
Select "General".
Activate/deactivate "FM-DAB Follow-up ". 
Activate/deactivate "Station follow". 
Press "OK". 
If "FM-DAB auto tracking" is activated, 
there may be a time lag of a few seconds 
when the system switches to "FM" analogue 
radio, and in some cases a change in volume.
When the digital signal quality is restored, the 
system automatically changes back to "DAB".
To minimise this time lag, storing radio 
stations in the "DAB" band is recommended.
If the "DAB" station being listened to is 
not available on "FM" (" FM-DAB" greyed 
out), or "FM-DAB auto tracking" is not 
activated, the sound will cut out when the 
digital signal becomes too weak.
Media
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick into the USB 
port or connect the USB device to the 
USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do not use a USB  hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary 
memory); this operation 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.
Playlists are updated whenever the ignition 
is switched off or a USB memory stick is 
connected. The audio system memorises these 
lists, which will subsequently load faster if they 
have not been changed.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Depending on equipmentConnect a portable device (MP3 player, 
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an 
audio cable (not supplied).
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input" 
has been selected in the audio settings.
First adjust the volume on the portable device 
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of the 
audio system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.

Part 2, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, H.264, H.263, VP8, 
WMV and RealVideo formats.
Streaming Bluetooth®
Streaming allows you to listen to the audio feed 
from your smartphone.
The Bluetooth profile must be activated.
First adjust the volume on the portable device (to 
a high level).
Then adjust the volume of the audio system.
If play does not start automatically, it may be 
necessary to start the audio playback from the 
smartphone.
Control is from the portable device or by using 
the system's touch buttons.
Once connected in streaming mode, the 
smartphone is considered to be a media 
source.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect  the Apple® player to the USB port using 
a suitable cable (not supplied).
Play starts automatically.
Control is via the audio system.
The classifications available are those of  the portable device connected (artists/
albums/genres/playlists/audio books/
podcasts).
The default classification used is by artist. To 
modify the classification used, return to the 
first level of the menu then select the desired 
classification (playlists for example) and 
confirm to go down through the menu to the 
desired track.
The version of software in the audio system may 
not be compatible with the generation of the 
Apple
® player.
Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage 
devices, BlackBerry® devices and Apple® players 
via the USB ports. The adapter cable is not 
supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system 
controls.
Other devices, not recognised on connection, 
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using 
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth 
streaming, if compatible.
The audio system will only play audio files with 
".wma", ".aac", ".flac", ".ogg" and ".mp3" file 
extensions, at bit rates between 32 Kbps and 
320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 32, 44 and 
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we 
recommend choosing file names less than 20 
characters long that do not contain any special 
characters (e.g. “ ? .
 
; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format 
(File Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB 
cable for the portable device.

Telephone
Pairing a Bluetooth® 
telephone
The services available depend on the

compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used. 
Consult the telephone user guide and the 
service provider to check which services are 
available.
The Bluetooth function must be activated  and the telephone configured as "Visible 
to all” (in the telphone settings).
To complete the pairing, whichever procedure is 
used (from the telephone or from the system),

and in the telephone.
If the pairing procedure fails, we 
recommend deactivating and then

The "Mobile internet data " profile must 
be activated for connected navigation, 
after first activating smartphone connection 
sharing.
Select one or more profiles. 
Press "OK" to confirm. 
Depending on the type of telephone, you may by 
prompted to accept the transfer of contacts and 
messages.
The ability of the system to connect just  one profile depends on the telephone.

The profiles compatible with the system  are: HFP, OPP, PBAP, A2DP, AVRCP, 
MAP and PAN.
Visit the Brand's website for more information 
(compatibility, additional help, etc.).
