The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
With the engine off, the
audio system switches off
after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
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 system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play
stopping. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
QUESTION
ANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound
sources, which may result in audible differences when changing
source (radio, CD...). Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience "None"
and set the loudness correction to the "Active"
position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position
in radio mode.

The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The USB memory stick may be corrupt.
Reformat the USB memory stick.
The CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain

INDICATORS
Traction battery - Energy consumption and generation indicator
"Neutral" position
On switching on the ignition,
your vehicle neither consumes
nor generates energy through its
electric drive train: after sweeping
over its travel, the needle is in the
"neutral" position.
With the motor stopped, ignition
off, opening the driver's door
wakes the energy indicator,
which places itself in the
"neutral" position. The needle moves to the right, in
proportion to the consumption of
energy by the drive train.
Energy consumption
The needle moves to the left, in
proportion to the level of charge going
into the traction battery, during periods
of deceleration and braking.
"Charge" zone The needle is in this zone when the
vehicle is used in a way that moderates
the consumption of electric energy and
optimises its range.
"Optimum" zone

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Traction battery - State of charge indicator
The state of charge of the traction
battery is displayed continuously when
the vehicle is switched on.
Low energy alerts
Two successive energy level alerts
indicate that the energy available has
dropped to a low level:
With the motor stopped, ignition
off, opening the driver's door
wakes the indicator.
1st level: Reserve
This warning lamp comes
on when the state of charge
of the traction battery is low.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is accompanied by an
audible signal.
2nd level: Critical
This warning lamp, associated
with the reserve warning lamp,
comes on in the instrument
panel when the state of charge
of the traction battery is critical.
Illumination of this warning
lamp is accompanied by a
regular audible warning.
Check the remaining range
indicated in the instrument panel
screen.
Put the vehicle on charge as soon as
possible. Put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no longer
calculated. The power of the drive
train is progressively reduced.
The heating and air conditioning are
stopped (even if the needle indicating
their consumption is not in the ECO
position). From this state of charge of the
battery, the level of heating or
air conditioning is progressively
reduced.
For more information, refer to
pages 8, 13-14.
