QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
Certain traffi c jams
along the route are not
indicated 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.
Th
e altitude is not
displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes toreceive 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
am unable to 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 settin
gs that it is "visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the s
ystem. You can check the compatibility of your telephone
on www.peugeot.co.uk (connected services)
Th
e volume of thetelephone connectedin Bluetooth mode isinaudible.
The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system, tomaximum 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, ...).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
Some contacts are
duplicated 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 "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display
telephone contacts".

Contacts are not shown
in alphabetical order.Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settingschosen, contacts can be transferred in a specifi c order. Modify the display setting in the telephone
directory.
The system does not
receive SMS text messages. The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to the
system.
The CD is e
jected
automatically or is not played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unpla
yable, does not contain any audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
- Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.

-
Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too damaged.

-
Check the content in the case of a recordedCD: refer to the information and advice in the"MUSIC MEDIA PLAYERS" section.

-
The audio system's CD player does not play DVDs.
-Some recorded CDs will not be played by the audio
system because they are not of the correct quality.
Le CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the
player (udf, ...).
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 aUSB 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.
The CD pla
yer sound ispoor.The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.
The audio equipment settin
gs (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selectingan ambience.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
Some characters in themedia information are not
displayed correctly while playing. The audio system does not display some types o
f 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 streaming 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 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 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.
Th
e station is notreceived or its name has changed in the list.I
cannot fi nd some radio stations in the list of stations received.
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.

Th
ere is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...). For optimum sound qualit
y, the audio settings for Volume, Bass, Treble,
Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which ma
y result in audible differences when changing source (radio,CD...). Check that the audio settin
gs for (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set theAUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the "None", musical ambience and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

ANSWER SOLUTION
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.
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 USBfunction which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with AppleÆ players.Æ
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port (the USB function takes priority over streaming).
When I connect m
yApple Æ
player or my Æ
BlackBerryÆ
to theÆ
USB port, I have alert messages on the currentconsumption by the USBport. When char
ging, the current consumption of these smartphones is greater
than the rating of the USB port, which is 500 mA.
