An incorrect waveband is selected. 
Press RADIO, select Radio Menu then"Waveband" to return to the waveband on which the stations are stored.
 
The quality of receptionof the radio station listened to graduallydeteriorates 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 listenedto or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling. 
 Activate the "RDS" function by means of theshort-cut menu to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in thegeographical 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 goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).  
Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. 
 Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 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 by means of the short-cut menu if the phenomenon is too frequentand always on the same route. 
 
With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on the battery charge. 
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. 
 
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
