Radio
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the upper band to enable the system to check whether there is a more power ful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of stations received.
The station is not received or its name has changed in the list. Press the round arrow on the "List" tab of the "Radio" page.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the title of the song for example). The system interprets this information as the name of the station. The name of the radio station changes.

Delete the files supplied with the memory stick and limit the number of sub-folders in the file structure on the memory stick.
Some characters in the media information are not displayed correctly while playing.
The audio system does not display some types of characters. Use standard characters to name tracks and folders.

I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone may not be visible. Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is switched on. Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. You can check the compatibility of your telephone at the Brand's website (services).
The volume of the telephone connected in Bluetooth mode is inaudible.
The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system, to maximum if required, and increase the volume of the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow
down, ...).
Contacts are not shown in alphabetical order. Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order. Modify the display setting in the telephone di r e c to r y.

RDS
Short procedure
Long procedure
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks, ...) may block reception, including in RDS mode. This is a normal effect of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not indicate any failure of the audio system. Press the " MENU " button.
Select " Audio functions ".
Press OK .
Select the " FM waveband preferences " function.
Press OK .
Select " RDS ".
Press OK , RDS is displayed in the screen.
In " Radio " mode, press the OK button to activate or deactivate RDS directly.
RDS, if activated, enables you to continue listening to the same station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of a station that can occur during a journey.
If RDS is not available, the RDS symbol appears barred in the screen.
