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 short-cut menu 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 on the "Update list" button in the "Radio stations" secondary menu.
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.

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.
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 does not recognise. 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 badly damaged. Check the content in the case of a recorded CD: refer to the advice in the "AUDIO" section. The audio system's CD player does not play DVDs. Some recorded CDs will not be played by the audio system because they are not of adequate quality.
The CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the player (udf, ...).
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not recognised by the audio system.
There is a long waiting period following the insertion of a CD or connection of a USB memory stick.
When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take from a few seconds to a few minutes.
This phenomenon is normal.
The CD player sound is p o o r. The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting an ambience.

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, ...).

There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source.
Check that the audio settings are adapted to the sources listened to. Adjust Balance, Treble, Bass to the middle position, select the "None" musical ambience and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
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: the system 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 date and time cannot be set. Setting of the date and time is only available if the synchronisation with the satellites is deactivated. Settings menu / Options / Time-Date setting. Select the "Time" tab and deactivate the "GPS synchronisation" (UTC).
