TMC (Traffic Message
Channel)
TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
messages are linked to a European
standard on the broadcasting of traffic
information via the RDS system on FM
radio, transmitting traffic information in
real time.
The TMC information is then displayed
on a GPS Navigation system map and
taken into account straight away during
navigation, so as to avoid accidents, traffic
jams and closed roads.
The display of danger zones depends on
the legislation in force and subscription to
the service.

use of electrical equipment not approved
by the Brand, such as a USB charger
connected to the 12 V socket.
The external environment (hills, buildings,
tunnels, basement car parks, etc.) may
block reception, including in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and is in no
way indicative of a fault with the audio
system.

RDS, if activated, allows you to
continue listening to the same station
by automatically retuning to alternative
frequencies. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception
of a station that can occur during a journey.

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.

(depending on model/depending on equipment)
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been checked in the audio settings.

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...).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...) 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.
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.

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 stops 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.
In normal off state, the system automatically
goes into energy economy mode to maintain an
adequate charge in the battery.Start the 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.
