It is advisable to restrict file names to
20 characters, without using special characters
(e.g. " " ? . ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or
display problems.

Allocation Table).
It is recommended that the original USB
cable for the portable device is used.
In order to be able to play a burned CDR or
CDRW, select standards ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or
Joliet if possible when burning the CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may
not be played correctly.

standard is always used on an individual disc,
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum)
for the best acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the
Joliet standard is recommended.Telephone

Navigation
QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
The route calculation is not
successful. The guidance criteria may be in conflict with the current
location (exclusion of toll roads on a toll road). Check the route settings in the "Navigation" menu.
The POIs do not appear. The POIs have not been selected. Select the POIs in the list of POIs.
The audible warning of "Danger
areas" does not work. The audible warning is not active or the volume is too
low. Activate the audible warning in the "Navigation" menu
and check the voice volume in the audio settings.
The system does not suggest
a detour around an incident on
the route. The guidance criteria do not take account of TMC
messages.
Select setting for the "Traffic info" function in the list of
route settings (Without, Manual or Automatic).
I receive a "Danger zone" alert
which is not on my route. Other than guidance, the system announces all "Danger
zones" positioned in a cone located in front of the
vehicle. It may provide an alert for "Danger zones"
located on nearby or parallel roads. Zoom
in on the map to see the exact position of the
"

Danger zone". Select "On the route" to no longer
receive alerts other than navigation instructions or to
reduce the time for the announcement.
Certain traffic jams along the
route are not indicated in real
time. On starting, it is several minutes before the system
begins to receive the traffic information.
Wait until the traffic information is being received correctly
(display of the traffic information icons on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motor ways...) are
listed for the traffic information.
This is per fectly normal. The system is dependent on
the traffic information available.
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...)
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).

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...).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.

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

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
