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, Ambience, 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, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle
position, select the Linear musical ambience and
set the loudness correction to the "Active" position
in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.
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 play.
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 equipment's CD player does not
play DVDs.

- Because of their quality level, certain
writeable CDs will not be played by the audio
system.
The CD player sound is
poor. The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable
conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting
an ambience.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


The stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the
stations are stored.
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. Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
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. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


TA is selected. However,
certain traffi c jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time. On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the
traffi c information. Wait until the traffi c information is being received
correctly (displaying of the traffi c information
symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for the
traffi c information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the traffi c information available.
I receive a speed camera
alert for a camera which
is not on my route. The system announces all speed cameras located in a conical zone
forward of the vehicle. It may detect speed cameras on nearby or parallel
roads. Zoom the map to view the exact position of the
speed camera.
The audible speed
camera alert is not
working. Audible alerts are not active. Activate audible alerts in Navigation Menu,
Settings, Set parameters for risk areas.
The alert volume level is set to minimum. Increase the speed camera alert volume.
The altitude is not
displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 3 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
3 satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then
select GPS coverage).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel...) or the weather,
the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the conditions of reception of the
GPS signal.
The route is not
calculated successfully. The exclusion criteria may confl ict with the current location (exclusion of
toll roads on a motorway with tolls). Check the exclusion criteria.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


There is a long waiting
time after inserting a CD. When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of
data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take a few seconds. This phenomenon is normal.
I cannot connect my
Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be deactivated or the equipment
may not be visible.

- Check that your telephone's Bluetooth
function is activated.

- Check that your telephone is visible.
A telephone connected
by Bluetooth is inaudible. The volume level depends on both the system and the telephone. Increase the Peugeot Connect Navigation volume
setting, possibly to maximum, and increase the
telephone volume level if necessary.

Peugeot Connect Sound (RD5)


Your Peugeot Connect Sound (RD5) is coded in such
a way that it will only operate in your vehicle. If it is to
be installed in another vehicle, contact your PEUGEOT
dealer for confi guration of the system.

For safety reasons, the driver must 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 equipment may
switch off after a few minutes.

of very weak reception, the system may change to a regional station.

RECEIVING TA MESSAGES


Press the TA button to activate or

The TA (Traffi c 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 traffi c
report is transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD, ...) is
interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback
of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of the
message.
