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 battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging 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 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.

CD
Information and adviceOn a given disc, the CD player can read up to 255 MP3 files spread
over 8 levels. However, it is advisable to keep to a limit of two levels to
reduce the access time before the CD is played.
The folder structure is not observed during playback.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
it is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used
for a given disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for
optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
The audio system can only play files with ".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav"
extensions.
A high compression level can degrade the sound quality.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The system can recognise up to 5 000 files in 500 folders on 8 levels. It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.
