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.

The altitude is not
displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes
to receive 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 my
Bluetooth 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 system. A list of compatible Bluetooth mobile telephones is available from the dealer network.
Th
e volume of thetelephone connected
in Bluetooth mode isinaudible. The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume o
f 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, ...).

Some contacts areduplicated in the list.The options for synchronizing contacts are synchronizing the contacts
on the SIM card, the contacts on the telephone, or both. When both
synchronizations are selected, some contacts may be duplicated. Select "Displa
y SIM card contacts" or "Displaytelephone contacts".

- The audio s
ystem's CD player does not play
DVDs.

- Some recorded CDs will not be pla
yed by
the audio system because they are not of thecorrect quality. Le CD has been recorded in a format that is not com
patible with
the player.
The CD is protected b
y an anti-pirating protection system which is not recognised by the audio system.
There is a long waitingperiod following the insertion of a CD or connection of a USB memory stick.
When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of
data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take from a few seconds to afew minutes.
This phenomenon is normal.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
Some characters in themedia information are not displayed correctly while playing. The audio s
ystem does not display some types of characters. Use standard characters to name tracks andfolders.
Pla
ying of streaming fi lesdoes not start. The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play. Start the playback from the device.
Th
e names of tracks and
the track length are not
displayed on the screen
when streamin
g audio. The Bluetooth pro
fi le does not allow the transfer of this information.
The qualit
y 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 b
y the station listened
to 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 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 fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been dama
ged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
I
cannot fi nd some radiostations in the list of stations received.
The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the title of the song for example).
The s
ystem interprets this information as the name of the station. The name of the radio station changes.

With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.When the en
gine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.

switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's en
gine to increase the batterycharge.
Pla
yback of my USB memory stick starts only
after a very long wait (around 2 to 3 minutes).Some fi les supplied with the memor
y stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time). Delete the fi les supplied with the memory stickand limit the number of sub-folders in the fi le structure on the memory stick.
When I connect m
yiPhone as telephone and
to the USB port at thesame time, I am unable
to play the music fi les. When the iPhone connects automaticall
