Selecting a stationRadio reception may be affected by
the use of electrical equipment not
approved by the Brand, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12V socket.
The exterior environment (hills,
buildings, tunnel, car park, below
ground...) may prevent reception,
even in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and is in no
way indicative of a fault with the audio
system.

RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies.
However, in certain conditions, coverage
of an RDS station may not be assured
throughout the entire country as radio
stations do not cover 100 % of the
territory. This explains the loss of
reception of the station during a journey.
The "Radio Text" function allows
information transmitted by the radio
station and related to the station or the
song playing to be displayed.
Display text information Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement)
function gives priority to TAalert
messages. To operate, this function
needs good reception of a radio station
that carries this type of message. While
traffic information is being broadcast,
the current media is automatically
interrupted so that the TA message can
be heard. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the
end of the message.

FM-DAB Follow-up
Terrestrial Digital Radio
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the
te r r i to r y.
When the digital radio signal is poor,
the "FM-DAB Follow-up" allows you to
continue listening to the same station,
by automatically switching to the
corresponding "FM" analogue station
(if there is one). If the "FM-DAB Follow-up" is activated,
there is a difference of a few seconds
when the system switches to "FM"
analogue radio with sometimes a
variation in volume.
Once the digital signal is restored, the
system automatically changes back to
" DA B ".
Digital radio provides higher quality
reception.
The different multiplexes offer a
choice of radio stations arranged in
alphabetical order.
If the "DAB" station being listened
to is not available on "FM", or if the
"FM-DAB Follow-up" is not activated,
the sound will cut out while the digital
signal is too weak.
Activate / Deactivate " FM- DAB

The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory), an operation which can take from
a few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or connection of a USB
memory stick. The lists are memorised: if they
are not modified, the subsequent loading time
will be shorter. Insert the USB memory stick in the USB port or
connect the USB device to the USB port using
a suitable cable (not supplied).
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
First adjust the volume of your portable device
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of your
audio system.
Display and management of the controls are
via the portable device. This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been checked in the audio settings.
Connect the portable device (MP3 player…) to
the auxiliary Jack socket using an audio cable
(not supplied). Choose the source.
Bluetooth Streaming®
Streaming allows you to listen to music from
your telephone.
The Bluetooth profile must be activated. First
adjust the volume on your portable device (to a
high level).
Then adjust the volume of your system.
If play does not start automatically, it may be
necessary to start the audio playback from the
smartphone.
Control is from the portable device or by using
the system's touch buttons.
Once connected in Streaming mode,
the smartphone is considered to be a

QUESTIONANS wE RSOLUTION
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
upper band 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 the round arrow on the "List" tab of the
"Radio" page.
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.
