RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies.
However, in certain conditions, coverage
by 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.
The external environment (hills,
buildings, tunnels, basement car
parks) may block reception, including
in RDS mode. This is a normal effect
of the way in which radio waves are
transmitted and does not indicate any

The audio system can only play files with
".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav" extensions.
It is advisable to restrict file names to
20 characters without using special characters
(e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.
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 a given 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.
Information and advice
On a given disc, the CD player can read up to
255 MP3 files spread over 8 levels. However,
it is advisable to keep to a limit of two levels
to reduce the access time before the CD is
played.
The folder structure is not observed during
playback. Playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The system can recognise up to 5 000 files in
500 folders on 8 levels. Press ¯ to display the audio settings

Frequently asked questions
The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound
sources, which may result in audible differences when changing
source (radio, CD...). Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position,
select the musical ambience "None" and set the
loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD
mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When changing the
settings for treble and
bass, the ambiance setting
is deselected.
When changing the
ambiance setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambiance imposes settings for treble and bass.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambiance setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The quality of reception of
the radio station listened
to gradually deteriorates
or the stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station
listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area
through which the vehicle is travelling.
Switch on the RDS function 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 PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Switch off the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information. The radio station does not broadcast traffic information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are not
found (no sound, 87.5 MHz
is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the SRC button to return to the waveband
(AM, FM1, FM2) on which the stations are stored.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain
any audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot
p l ay.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is
not recognised by the audio equipment. -
Check that the CD is inserted in the player
the right way up.
- Check the condition of the CD: the CD
cannot be played if it is too damaged.
- Check the content in the case of a recorded
CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.
- The audio system's CD player does not play
DVDs.
- Due to their quality level, certain writeable
CDs will not be played by the audio system.
The CD player sound is
p o o r. The CD used is scratched or of poor quality.
Insert good quality CDs and store them in
suitable conditions.
The audio settings (bass, treble, ambiance) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting
an ambiance.
In "Random all" play, not
all of the tracks are played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to
999 tracks.
With the engine off, the
audio system switches off
after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy
mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature
is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of
the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
