the territory. This explains the loss of reception
of a station that can occur during a journey.

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with
".mp3", ".wma" and ".wav" extensions on a CD
and can play files with ".ogg" extension only on
USB.
File names should have less than
20


characters, avoiding special characters
(e.g. " ?; ù) so as to avoid any reading or
display problems. If the disc is burned in another format, it may
not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning
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.
The playlists accepted on CD, MP3, iPod and
USB connection are types ".m3u" and ".wpl".
The system can recognise up to 5,000 files in
500 folders on 8 levels.
On a single disc, the CD player can read up
to 255 MP3 files spread over 8 folder levels
with a maximum of 192 folders. However, it
is recommended that the number of levels is
limited to 2 so as to reduce the time taken to
access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not obser ved during
playback.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB device other
than audio players to the USB socket. This may
cause damage to your installation.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted to FAT
32
(File Allocation Table).To protect the system, do not use a
USB
hub.
Bluetooth® audio streaming
Streaming allows music files on a telephone to
b e heard via the vehicle's speakers.
Connect the telephone: see the " Telephone"
section.
In the " Bluetooth: Audio " menu, select the
telephone to be connected.
The audio system connects to a
newly paired
telephone automatically.
Activate the streaming source by
pressing the SRC/TEL button.
In certain cases, play of the audio
files must be initiated from the
keypad.
The control of common tracks is possible
via the audio system control buttons and the
steering mounted controls, if the telephone
supports the function.
Contextual information can be displayed in the
screen.
The audio quality depends on the quality of
transmission by the telephone. It is recommended that you use genuine
Apple
® USB cables for correct operation.
In order to be able to play a

burned CDR or
CDRW, select standards ISO

level 1, 2
