FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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: economy mode is activated automatically to
maintain the state of charge of the vehicle's battery, needed for engine
starting. (See the "Energy economy mode" section). Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the USB port at the
same time, I am unable
to play the music files. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USB
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with Apple
® players.
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port
(the
USB function takes priority over streaming).

Audio system
Your Audio system is coded in such a way that it will
only operate in your vehicle.
For safety reasons, the driver must only carry out
operations which require prolonged attention while the
vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent
discharging of the battery, the audio equipment may
switch off after a few minutes.

of very weak reception, the system may change to a regional station.
