The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
With the engine off, the 
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 
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 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.
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 and 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 and Loudness) are adapted to 
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the 
audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance 
and 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.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The preset stations do 
not function (no sound, 
87.5
 
Mhz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the waveband 
(FM, FM2, DAB, AM) on which the stations are 
preset.
The traffic announcement 
(TA) is displayed. I do 
not receive any traffic 
information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information 
network.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic 
information.
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 to enable the system 
to check whether there is a more power ful 
transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, underground car parks...) 
block reception, including in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate 
a fault in the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going 
through an automatic car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 
2
 
seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another 
frequency giving better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is 
too frequent and always on the same route.

The system is protected in such a way 
that it will only operate in your vehicle.
The display of the Energy Economy 
Mode message signals that a change 
to standby is imminent. The different functions and settings 
described vary according to the version 
and configuration of your vehicle.
The link below gives access to OSS 
(Open Source Software) codes for the 
system.

As a safety measure and because it 
requires sustained attention by the 
driver, the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile 
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-
free system of your audio system must 
be done with the vehicle stationary
 
and the ignition on.
