RADIO SOURCE
Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems.The reception of AM and FM signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does not refl ect on the quality of your radio installation.In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the station transmitter, the refl ecting of signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual seearch is via buttons Jor M.By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity:- To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode "DX".
Search for a station is done fi rst in "LO" (local) sensitivity, then in "DX" (distant) sensitivity.To commence a search in sensitivity "DX" (distant) immediately, press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the buttons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop at the fi rst station it fi nds once the button is released.You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel.If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak reception), it is possible to search manually to fi nd this station.
Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling
Briefl y press on button G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or Mand validate using button L.

RDS SYTEM
Using the RDS (radio data system) function on FM
The majority of FM radio stations use the RDS system. The radio in your vehicle has this system.The RDS system enables these stations to transmit non-audible data in addition to the broadcasting of their programmes. The data provides access to various functions described in this chapter, such as: display of the station name, intermittent traffi c information fl ashes or automatic scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regardless of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best possible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (if the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency).
Activation/deactivation of the RDS functions
The RDS functions can be accessed via the following two menus:- Main menu (press button O).
- AUDIO menu (press button L).

HANDS-FREE TELEPHONE
Your audio system may be Bluetooth®
compatible. It allows you to connect a mobile telephone for "hands free" use and even to use its directory.
It permits you to twin up to four telephones, to be able then to connect whichever one you choose.The Bluetooth® functions available and the content of the display are dependent on the type of mobile telephone, its settings and the type of contract you have. For this reason it is advisable to make enquiries with your telephone provider.Prior to any operation:- Your display should be lit up (key in position M).
- Your telephone’s Bluetooth®
system must be activated.
Twinning a telephone
Twinning a telephone consists of having it recognised by the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. This then permits an instantaneous connection.Twinning can only be performed with ignition switched on, display illuminated, engine stopped. No other telephone should be connected.- The twinning must be performed with the telephone and its Bluetooth® system activated.®
Note:
Refer to the user instructions to familiarise yourself with the features of twinning.- The telephone detects the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. ®
"C4" displays on your telephone.
You should then select "C4" on your telephone controls. Next you must choose whether or not to accept this twinning then select, on screen Cusing J, M or 8, one of the 4memories. Validate with a press on button L or 7.
Note:
You can select a memory already attributed, although the telephone twinned to this location will no longer be.- Next the telephone asks you to enter an identifi cation code: 1234.
- Validate.
Note:
This entry may be demanded earlier in the twinning sequence.The telephone is now twinned to your Bluetooth® system. For ®
immediate access to the Bluetooth®
functions, it may be necessary to make a connection (see following page "Confi guration: Connecting a twinned mobile telephone").Once the twinning is fi nished, you will be able to connect your telephone via the "Main menu".
Connecting a twinned telephone
Each time you enter the vehicle, after switching on the audio system, your telephone is detected automatically. If more than one telephone is present, the last telephone to have been connected is the fi rst to be recognised.Note:Disconnections may occur. You may have to make a new connection (see following page, "Confi guration: Connecting a twinned mobile telephone").Remarks:- In the event of a problem, it is recommended to switch your telephone off and then on again.- If you switch off your telephone within the fi eld of reception of the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle, the next connection will not be automatic. To restore automatic connection, you will have to connect your telephone manually (see following page, "Confi guration: Connecting a twinned mobile telephone").- If you are already in telephone communication when the audio system is turned on, the latter detects the telephone.- To avoid interference, you are advised not to place your mobile telephone close to your radio.
