Frequently asked questions
The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.
QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD...). 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...).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 ambience 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.

When changing the balance setting, distribution
is deselected. Choosing a distribution setting imposes a

is not possible.Modify the balance setting or the distribution
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 ...). 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...) block reception, including
in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for
example when going through an automatic car
wash or in an underground car park). Have the antenna checked by the PEUGEOT

network.
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.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
information.Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are not found (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the
waveband on which the stations are stored.

Information and advice
The audio system can only play
files with ".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav"
extensions.
A high compression rate could damage
the quality of the sound. File names should have less than
20 characters, avoiding special
characters (e.g.: “ ? ; ù) so as to avoid
any reading or display problems.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u
and .pls.
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 observed during
playback.
In order to be able to play a burned
CDR or CDRW, select standards
ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible
when burning the CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it
may not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same
burning standard is always used on an
individual disc, with the lowest speed
possible (4x maximum) for the best
acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-
session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
