QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
th

e 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...).
th
e 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.
th

e environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...)
block reception, including in RDS mode.
th

is phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault with the audio system.
th

e 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 P
e

uge
Ot
dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received.
th

e station is not received or its name has changed in the list. Press and hold the "List" button at the steering mounted controls to update the list of stations
received or press on the system update function:
"
up

date list".
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name
(the title of the song for example).
th

e system interprets this information as the name of the station.

station changes.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
th

ere is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Loudness,
Ambience,
t
r
eble, Bass, Volume can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings (Loudness,
Ambience,
t
r
eble, Bass, Volume) are adapted to
the sources listened to. Adjust Balance,
t
r
eble
and 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.
th

e 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.
