Turning the iPod
® on and off
Turning On
The iPod
® t u r n s  o n  a u t o m a t i c a l l y  i f  i t  i s  in the adaptor when the sound system 
is switched on. The battery will also charge when the iPod
® is in the adaptor.
Turning Off
Depending on the sound system, the iPod
® will turn itself off some minutes 
after the sound system is turned off.
Note
Starting the car when the iPod
® is on will momentarily interrupt playback. 
Playback will begin again at the point where it was interrupted.
Control of the iPod
® through the sound 
system
Music playback through the sound system
Once the iPod
® is attached to the connector, the sound 
system detects it as CD changer.
Control is through the sound system controls. The iPod
® is used like a CD 
changer. Choosing and playing songs, fast forward and rewind and random 
playback are described in the radio or navigation system manual of your 
vehicle.
Playing songs from the playlists
Songs can be stored in playlists on the iPod
®. The playlists are ordered by 
number and alphabetically in the iPod 
® hard disk. The first five playlists stored on your iPod 
®can be chosen directly by using 
the function keys   to   on the sound system. The existing playlists will be 
assigned by numerical / alphabetical order to the keys   to  . If, for 
example, the function key   of the sound system is pressed, the songs on 
the second playlist will be played. If an empty or non-existant playlist is 
selected, the next play list will be selected.
To make use of the playlists in the vehicle as easy as possible, we recommend 
editing a maximum of five playlists in the iPod®.  If you want to play songs 
from a playlist that cannot be selected directly by the function keys   to  , 
we recommend renaming the list using  the “iTunes” computer programme so 
that it is among the first six on the iPod 
® hard disk.
Remember that some versions of iTun es contain predetermined playlists (on-
the-go, my favourites). These folders also count in the total of six that the 
vehicle sound system can play. Ensure that they are ordered and arranged 
conveniently.
Pressing the key   will enable all the songs on the iPod to be played.
Consult the iPod 
® manufacturer's instruction manual to learn how to select 
and store songs and create playlists.
Play all recorded songs
If the function key   of the sound system is pressed, all the songs on the 
iPod
® will be played.
Selecting songs manually on the iPod
®
The iPod
® also allows songs to be selected  directly Select the song on the 
iPod
® and attach it to the connector. The sound system will play the selected 
song.
When the song finishes, all the remaining songs in the same group on the 
iPod® will be played (by artist, genre, album, playlist...)

If many songs are skipped, there may be a delay during playback. THe 
duration will depend on, among other things, the type of iPod

Depending on the sound system, when changing a playlist, a song from 
the previous list may be played. This is a system function and not an error.
•
The information stored on the iPod
® such as artist, title, album, music 
type is not processed by the iPod
® adaptor. Songs cannot be selected 
according to these search criteria, and  no indication is given on the sound 
system panel.
•
The “repetition” is automatically activated when turning the iPod
® on in 
the adaptor. When playback reaches the end of a playlist, it will start again at 
the beginning.

adaptor, it will also be selected in the sound system and can be disactivated 
by pressing the key    or   (depending on the sound system) twice. 
The numbers of the titles on the sound system screen are counted accord-
ingly.

keys. When selecting a three figure numbe r the hundreds will not appear on 
the screen.
•
When turning off or restarting the engine the iPod

it left off. In this case the sound system screen will always show  6, regardless 
of the playlist. This will remain  until the playlist is changed
