Frequently asked questions 166
Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in your vehicle. All work on the system must be carried out exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop, to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or mechanical faults. To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few minutes if the engine is not running.
The different functions and adjustments described vary according to the version and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it requires the sustained attention of the driver, the pairing of your Bluetooth telephone to the Bluetooth hands-free audio system must only be carried out with the vehicle stationary and the ignition on.
