QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in 
sound quality between the 
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different 
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when 
changing source. Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to the 
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the 
audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance, 
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the 
"Linear", musical ambience and set the loudness 
correction 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.

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

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.
