RADIO SOURCE
Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems.The reception of AM and FM signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does n o t r e fl e c t o n t h e q u a l i t y o f y o u r r a d i o installation.In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the s t a t i o n t r a n s m i t t e r , t h e r e fl e c t i n g o f signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).

RDS SYTEM
Using the RDS (radio data system) function on FM
The majority of FM radio stations use the RDS system. The radio in your vehicle has this system.The RDS system enables these stations to transmit non-audible data in addition to the broadcasting of their programmes. The data provides access to various functions described in this chapter, such as: display of t h e s t a t i o n n a m e , i n t e r m i t t e n t t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n fl a s h e s o r a u t o m a t i c scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regardless of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best possible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (if the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency).

HANDS-FREE TELEPHONE
Your audio system may be Bluetooth® compatible. It allows you to connect a mobile telephone for "hands free" use and even to use its directory.
It permits you to twin up to four telephones, to be able then to connect whichever one you choose.The Bluetooth® functions available and the content of the display are dependent on the type of mobile telephone, its settings and the type of contract you have. For this reason it is advisable to make enquiries with your telephone provider.Prior to any operation:- Your display should be lit up (key in position M).
- Your telephone’s Bluetooth® system must be activated.
Twinning a telephone
Twinning a telephone consists of having it recognised by the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. This then permits an instantaneous connection.Twinning can only be performed with ignition switched on, display illuminated, engine stopped. No other telephone should be connected.- The twinning must be performed with the telephone and its Bluetooth® system activated.
Note:
Refer to the user instructions to familiarise yourself with the features of twinning.- The telephone detects the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. "C4" displays on your telephone.
You should then select "C4" on your telephone controls. Next you must choose whether or not to accept this twinning then select, on screen Cusing J, M or 8, one of the 4memories. Validate with a press on button L or 7.
Note:
You can select a memory already attributed, although the telephone twinned to this location will no longer be.- Next the telephone asks you to e n t e r a n i d e n t i fi c a t i o n c o d e : 1234.
- Validate.
Note:
This entry may be demanded earlier in the twinning sequence.The telephone is now twinned to your Bluetooth® system. For immediate access to the Bluetooth® functions, it may be necessary to make a connection (see following p a g e " C o n fi g u r a t i o n : C o n n e c t i n g a twinned mobile telephone"). O n c e t h e t w i n n i n g i s fi n i s h e d , y o u w i l l be able to connect your telephone via the "Main menu".

FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS
The table below provides answers to the questions that are asked the most frequently.
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
There is a discrepancy in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD, CD changer etc.).
To achieve an optimum listening quality, the audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to each of the different sound sources, which can produce audible shifts when you change the source (radio, CD, CD changer etc.).
Check that the audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) are adapted to the sources being listened to. It is recommended that you should adjust the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear balance, Left-Right balance) to the mid position, select the musical ambiance "None", adjust the loudness correction to the position "Active" in CD mode and to the position "Inactive" in radio mode.
The CD immediately ejects or does not play back.
The CD is the wrong way up, is unplayable, does not contain audio data or contains an audio format that the radio cannot play back.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system unrecognised by the radio.
- Check that you have inserted the CD the right way up in the CD player.- Check that you have inserted the ve ins
- Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be played back if it is too damaged.- Check the contents if it is a burnt CD: refer to the advice given in the chapter on Audio System.refer to the advice g to the a
- The radio’s CD player cannot play back DVDs.- For reasons of poor quality, some burnt CDs will not be played back by the audio system.- The CD changer does not play back MP3 CDs.- The CD chahe CD
The CD player sound is downgraded.
The CD being used is scratched or of poor quality.Insert only CDs of good quality and keep them in good condition.
The radio adjustments (bass, treble, ambiances) are unsuitable.Return the treble and bass levels to 0, without selecting any ambiance.
