Notes:
- When you enter the vehicle, the temperature inside the vehicle may be much colder (or warmer) than a comfortable temperature. It is no use modifying the dis-played temperature to try to attain the desired level of comfort. The system automatically strives to compensate this temperature dis-crepancy as rapidly as possible.
- When starting the engine from cold, in order to avoid distributing too much cold air, the blower will attain its optimum level gradually.

The pre-set stations do not work (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed, etc.).
The waveband selected is not the correct one.Press on the button BAND AST to retrieve the wave band (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) where the stations have been memorised.
Traffi c Announcements (TA) is displayed, but I do not receive any road information.
The particular radio station is not in the regional traffi c information network.Change to a radio station which does broadcast traffi c information.
The reception quality of the radio station being listened to gradually deteriorates or the pre-set stations do not work (no sound, 87.5 Mhz displayed, etc.).
The vehicle is too distant from the transmitter of the station being listened to, or no transmitter is present in the geographical area you are passing through.
Activate the RDS function to allow the system to check whether a more powerful transmitter is to be found in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tunnels, underground car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, even in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does not imply anything wrong with the radio.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example after going through a car wash or in an underground car park).

Cutting of sound for 1 or 2 seconds in radio mode.
The RDS system during this brief sound cut-off is searching for a better frequency that might offer improved reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon occurs too frequently and always on the same journey.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the working time for the radio depends on the vehicle battery charge.
The interruption is normal: the radio goes into economy mode, cutting off in order to save the vehicle’s battery.
You have to start the engine so as to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheating" appears on the screen.
In order to protect the audio equipment in excessive ambient temperatures, the radio goes into an automatic thermic protection mode which results in a reduction in sound volume or stopping of the CD player.
Switch off the audio system for a few minutes in order to allow the system to cool down.

The TRAFFIC INFO
box is ticked. However,
certain trafic jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time. On starting, it is several minutes before the syste
m begins to receive the
trafic information. Wait until the trafic information is being received

correctly (displaying of the trafic information
symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways, ...) are listed for the
trafic information.
The time taken to
calculate a route
sometimes seems
longer than usual. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the trafic information available.
The performance of the system may slow down tempora rily if a CD is
being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being
calculated. Wait until the CD has been copied or stop the
copying before starting the guidance function.
Does the emergency call
function work without a
SIM card? No, European regulations impose the presence of a S
IM card in order to
make an emergency call. Insert a valid SIM card in the slot on the audio
equipment.
The altitude is not
displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take
up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 3 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
3 satellites (long press on the MENU button, then
select AUDIO/TELEPHONE DIAGNOSTICS, then
GPS COVERAGE).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel, ...) or the weather,
the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may v ary.This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the conditions of reception of the
GPS signal.
The route is not
calculated successfully. The exclusion criteria may conlict with the current
location (exclusion of
toll roads on a motorway with tolls). Check the exclusion criteria.
