FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
Certain traffi c jams
along the route are notindicated 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 (display of the traffi c information icons on
the map).
Th
e fi lters are too restrictive. Modify the "Geographic fi lter" settings.
In certain countries, onl
y major routes (motorways...) are listed for the
traffi c information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the traffi c information available.
Th
e altitude is not
displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes toreceive more than 4 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
4 satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then select "GPS coverage").
Dependin
g 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 GPS signal receptionconditions.

I cannot connect myBluetooth telephone.The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone
may not be visible.
- Check that your telephone's Bluetoothfunction is switched on.

-
Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the s
ystem. A list of compatible Bluetooth mobile telephones is available from the dealer network.
Th
e volume of thetelephone connectedin Bluetooth mode isinaudible.
The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system,to maximum if required, and increase the volume
of the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an infl uence on the qualit
y of telephone communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).
