The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert
messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a

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. Press RADIO to display the menu.
Select "Service announcements" then
confirm.
Activate or deactivate "TA " then confirm.
The volume setting for TA messages can be adjusted only during the
transmission of this type of alert. Activate or deactivate the function at any time by pressing
the button.
During a message, press the button to interrupt it.

USING THE TELEPHONE
Select "Connect" and confirm.
The system offers to connect the
telephone:
-
in "
Hands-free mode" (telephone

telephone to reconnect automatically every time the vehicle is
started.
The ability of the system to connect in only one mode depends on

"Streaming" is not desired.
The services available depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the Bluetooth telephone used. Check the telephone
manual and with your network provider for details of the services available to you.
Depending on the type of telephone, the system will ask you to
accept or not the transfer of your contacts.
On return to the vehicle, the last telephone connected
automatically reconnects, within around 30 seconds after
switching on the ignition (Bluetooth activated and visible).

and pair the telephone again with the desired mode.

and confirm.
