QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION

sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume,
b
a
ss,
Treble, Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings for (Volume,
b
a
ss,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to the
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
audio functions (
ba

ss, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the
"Linear", musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.
With the engine off, the
system switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the system 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.
