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.

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 CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any
audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play
.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not
recognised by the audio equipment. -

Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.
-


Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too damaged.
-


Check the content in the case of a recorded
CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.
-


The audio equipment's CD player does not
play DVDs.
-


Due to their quality level, certain writeable
CDs will not be played by the audio system.
The message "USB
peripheral error" is
displayed on the screen.
The Bluetooth connection
is cut. The battery of the peripheral may not be sufficiently charged.
Recharge the battery of the peripheral device.
The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The memory stick may be corrupt. Reformat the memory stick.

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2

seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a few
minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time
depends on the battery charge.
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 t\
oo
high, the audio equipment 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.
