Information and advice
The audio system can only play files with
".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav" extensions.
To avoid any playback or display issues, it is
advisable to create file names that have less
than 20 characters and without using any
special characters (e.g. «?.; ù).
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or
CDRW, it is preferable to select the ISO 9660
level 1, 2 or Joliet standard when recording the
CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may
not be played correctly.
Audio system

It is recommended that the same recording
standard is always used for a given disc, with
as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for
optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the
Joliet standard is recommended.
Playlists accepted are ".m3u" and ".pls" types.
The system can recognise up to 5,000 files in
500 folders on 8 levels.
On a given disc, the CD player can read up to
255 MP3 files spread over 8 levels. However,
it is recommended that this be kept to 2 levels
so as to limit the time taken to access and play
the CD.
The folder structure is not obser ved during

QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.). To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source (radio, CD,
e t c .) .Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-
Rear Fader, 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.
When changing the settings for treble and bass,
the ambiance setting is deselected.
When changing the ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambience imposes settings for
treble and bass. Modifying one without the other
is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5
MHz is displayed,
e t c .) . The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
Activate the RDS mode and start a new search
for the station so that the system can check
whether a stronger transmitter is available in the
geographic area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) block reception,
including in RDS tracking mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged (for
example when going through a car wash or into
an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS
searches for any frequency permitting better
reception of the station. Switch off the RDS function if the phenomenon
is too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic information. The radio station does not broadcast traffic

Press the SRC button to return to the waveband
(AM, FM1, FM2) on which the stations are
stored.
The CD is ejected every time or is not played. The CD is upside down, cannot be read, does not contain audio files or contains audio files
of a format that cannot be played by the audio
system.

into account up to 999 tracks.
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 battery
charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system
switches to economy mode and switches off to
prevent discharging 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 of the
volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
