Connectivity
Connecting a wired device
by USB
The USB connection of a mobile device allows it
to be recharged. It makes its authorised media
content available to the system (Media content
of iPod
® type).Only one USB socket will allow a Mirror
Screen connection (Apple®CarPlay® or
Android Auto) for the compatible connected
mobile devices and to use some of the device's
applications on the touch screen.
For more information on the USB socket
compatible with the Mirror Screen
® function,
refer to the "Ease of use and comfort - Fittings"
section.
The mobile device is in charging mode when
connected with the USB cable.
It is recommended that you use your
device's original USB cables, preferably
with a short cable to ensure optimum
performance.
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
Bluetooth® connection
Connecting a mobile device to the vehicle's
system via Bluetooth® provides access to its
contents and its "Media" streaming. It also
enables the Phone function to be activated.
The connection can be initiated either from the
mobile device's Bluetooth
® menu or from the
vehicle's system, which requires opening the "My
Devices" menu for the first connection.
In some cases, you will need to unlock
your device and check the authorisation
to synchronise contacts and recent calls.
Some features may not be supported by your
device.
For information on the partial or full
compatibility of device models or
smartphones, please connect to the Brand’s
national website.

previously deleted from the system).
A mobile device already connected to the system will be able to reconnect
automatically when the vehicle is started,
once the user profile has been selected.
Automatic reconnection is put on hold as
soon as the "My Devices" menu is opened.
This is to allow the system to make its
Bluetooth® visible for the connection of a new
device.
The system is disconnected when the driver’s
door is opened and the ignition is switched
off.
