The system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in 
your
 
vehicle. As a safety measure, the driver must only carry out operations 
which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent discharging of 
the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few minutes.

Radio
The exterior environment (hills, buildings, 
tunnel, car park, below ground...) may 
prevent reception, even in RDS station 
tracking mode. This phenomenon is 
normal in the propagation of radio waves 
and is in no way indicative of a fault with 
the audio system.Press SOUR

RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue 
listening to the same station by automatic 
retuning to alternative frequencies. 
However, in certain conditions, coverage 
of an RDS station may not be assured 
throughout the country as radio stations 
do not cover 100
  % of the territory. This 
explains the loss of reception of the station 
during a journey.
Receiving TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) 
function gives priority to TA alert 
messages. To operate, this function 
needs good reception of a radio station 
transmitting this type of message. 
When a traffic report is transmitted, 
the current audio source (Radio, CD, 
USB,
  ...) is interrupted automatically to 
play the TA message. Normal playback 
of the audio source resumes at the end 
of the transmission of the message. The INFO function gives priority to 
TA alert messages. To be active, this 
function needs good reception of a 
radio station that transmits this type 
of message. When a message is 
transmitted, the current audio source 
(Radio, CD, USB, ...) is interrupted 
automatically to receive the INFO 
message. Normal play resumes at the 
end of the message transmission.

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with 
extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a compression 
rate that is constant or variable between 
32  Kbps and 320 Kbps.
It is advisable to restrict file names to 
20
  characters without using special characters 
(e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying 
problems.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32 
(File Allocation Table).
The playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 
500
  directories on a maximum of 8 levels. In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or 
CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select 
standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may 
not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording 
standard is always used for an individual disc, 
with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) 
for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, 
the
  Joliet standard is recommended.Do not connect a hard disk or USB 
device other than audio players to the 
USB port. This may cause damage to 
your installation.
On a single disc, the CD player can 
read up to 255 MP3 files spread 
over 8 directory levels. However, it 
is recommended that this be kept to 
2
  levels so as to limit the time taken to 
access and play the CD.
During play, the folder structure is not 
observed.
