With the en
gine 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.
The switch-o
ff is normal: the system switches to economy mode and
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
y as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USB
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with Apple® players.®
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port(the USB function takes priority over streaming).

A lon

builds or updates
the list of stations; audio reception is cut
momentarily.
The exterior environment
(hills, buildings, tunnel, car park, belowground...) may prevent reception, even in RDS station tracking mode. This phenomenon is normal in the propagation of radio
waves and is in no way indicative of a fault with the audio system.

04

RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the samestation by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However,
in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover
100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.

RECEIVING TA MESSAGES


The TA (Traffi c Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a radio station transmitting this type of message. When a traffi c report is transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD,
USB, ...) is interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback of the audio source resumes at the end of the
transmission of the message.

DIGITAL RADIO - DAB/FM AUTO TRACKING


DAB / FM auto tracking allows you to continue listening to the same station, by temporarily switching to the equivalent analogue station
until the digital signal is stable again. The INF
O function gives priority to TA alert messages. To be
active, this function needs good reception of a radio station that
transmits this type of message. When a message is transmitted,
the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) is interrupted
automatically to receive the INFO message. Normal play resumes
at the end of the message transmission.
