If "DAB-FM tracking" is activated, there
is a difference of a few seconds when the
system switches to FM analogue radio
with sometimes a variation in volume.
Once the digital signal quality is restored,
the system automatically changes back
to DAB.
If the DAB station being listened to is
not available on FM (" DAB- FM" option
greyed out), or "DAB-FM tracking" is not
activated, the sound will cut out while the
digital signal is too weak.
Media
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick in 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), 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 a USB memory stick
is connected. The lists are memorised: if they
are not modified, the subsequent loading time
will be shorter.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Depending on equipment
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been checked in the audio settings. Connect the portable device (MP3 player, etc.)
to the jack socket using an audio cable (not
supplied).

Radio
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed,
e t c .) . The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more power ful transmitter in
the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) block reception,
including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
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 dealer.
The altitude is not displayed.
On 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
so that there is GPS coverage by at least
4

satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of
reception of the GPS signal may vary. This behaviour is normal. The system is
dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.
My navigation is no longer connected. During start-up and in certain geographical
areas, the connection may be unavailable.Check that the connected ser vices are
activated (settings, contract).

QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
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.
The CD is ejected every time or is not played. The CD is upside down, cannot be read, does not contain audio files or contains audio files of
a format not recognised by the audio system.
The CD has been recorded in a format that is
not compatible with the player (udf, etc.).
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating system
not recognised by the audio system.Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.
Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too badly damaged.
Check the content in the case of a recorded
CD: follow the advice in the "AUDIO" section.
The audio system CD does not read DVDs.
Due to poor quality, certain burned CDs will not
be read by the audio system.
Media
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
stations received.
The name of the radio station changes.
The station is not received or has changed its
name in the list.
Some radio stations send other information
in place of their name (the title of the song for
example).
The system interprets these details as the
station name.Press on the "Update list" button in the "Radio
stations" secondary menu.

Settings
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
When changing the setting of treble and bass,
the equalizer setting is deselected.
When changing the equalizer setting, the treble
and bass settings are reset. The selection of an equalizer setting imposes
the settings for treble and bass and vice versa.
Modify the treble and bass or equalizer settings
to obtain the desired musical ambience.
When changing the balance setting,
distribution is deselected.
When changing the distribution setting, the
balance setting is deselected. The selection of a distribution setting imposes
the balance settings and vice versa.
Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources. To allow for optimal listening quality, the
audio settings can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source.Check that the audio settings are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is recommended that
the audio settings (Bass:, Treble:, Balance)
be adjusted to the middle position, select the
"None" musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode
or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When the engine is off, the system switches off
after several 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: the system automatically
goes into energy economy mode and switches off
to maintain an adequate charge in the battery.Start then vehicle's engine to increase the
charge of the battery.
The date and time cannot be set. Setting of the date and time is only available
if the synchronisation with the satellites is
deactivated.Settings menu/Options/Time-Date setting.
Select the "Time" tab and deactivate the "GPS
synchronisation" (UTC).
