FREQUENTLY ASKE d QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2
 
seconds   in   radio   mode.During
  this   brief   sound   cut-out,   the   RDS   searches   for   any   frequency  
permitting

  better   reception   of   the   station.Deactivate
  the   RDS   function   if   the   phenomenon   is  
too

  frequent   and   always   on   the   same   route.
With
 
the   engine   off,  
the

 
audio   equipment  
switches of

f 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   too  
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

  CD. Switch
  the   audio   system   off   for   a   few   minutes   to  
allow

  the   system   to   cool.
