QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between
the different audio
sources (radio, C
d ...).For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume,
b ass, Treble,
a

mbience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio,
C
d ...). Check that the audio settings (Volume,
b ass,
Treble,
a

mbience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the
a

U d I o functions ( b ass, Treble, Front-Rear
b

alance, Left-Right b alance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience "
n one" and
set the loudness correction to the "
a ctive" position
in C
d mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.
The C
d is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any
audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play
.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not
recognised by the audio equipment. -

Check that the C
d is inserted in the player the
right way up.
-

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

Check the content in the case of a recorded
C

d : consult the advice in the " a udio" section.
-

The audio equipment's C
d player does not
play
d V d s.
-

Due to their quality level, certain writeable
CDs will not be played by the audio system.
The message "US

b
peripheral error" is
displayed on the screen.
The
b
luetooth connection
is cut. The battery of the peripheral may not be sufficiently charged.
Recharge the battery of the peripheral device.
The US
b memory stick is not recognised.
The memory stick may be corrupt. Reformat the memory stick.

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
I am unable to access my
voicemail. Few telephones or service providers allow the use of this function.
The C
d player sound is
poor. The C
d used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality C
d s and store them in suitable
conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable.\
Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting
an ambience.
The stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the
band
a
ST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the
stations are stored.
The traffic announcement
(T
a

) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information network.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The quality of reception
of the radio station
listened to gradually
deteriorates or the stored
stations do not function
(no sound, 87.5
Mhz is
displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened\

to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the
vehicle is travelling.
a

ctivate the R d S function 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...) blo\
ck
reception, including in R
d S mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITR
o Ë n dealer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2

seconds in radio mode.
d
uring this brief sound cut-out, the R d S searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station.
d

eactivate the R d S function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is t\
oo
high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection
mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of \
the C
d . Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
