system may switch off after a
few minutes
if the engine is not running.

RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatically
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.
Playing TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function
gives priority to TA alert messages.
To operate, this function needs good
reception of a radio station that carries
this type of message. When a
traffic
report is transmitted, the current audio
source (Radio, CD, etc.) is interrupted
automatically to play the TA message.
Normal play of the media previously
playing is resumed at the end of the
message.
Press the TA button to activate or
deactivate traffic messages.
Media
USB port
To protect the system, do not use a USB
hub .
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
a
USB memory stick is connected.
The lists are memorised: if they are not
modified, the subsequent loading time will
b e s h o r t e r. Make a
long press on LIST
REFRESH button to display the
different classifications.
Select by " Folder"/ "Artist "/ "Genre "
/" Playlist ".
Press OK to select the desired
classification, then press OK again
to confirm.
Press LIST REFRESH briefly to
display the previously selected
classification.
Navigate in the list using the left /
right and up/down buttons.
Confirm the selection by pressing
OK.
Press one of these buttons to go to
the previous/next track in the list.

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with
the ".mp3" extension with a sampling rate
of 22.05
kHz or 44.1 kHz. No other file type
(".wma", ".mp4", ".m3u", etc.) can be played.
It is recommended that file names be of no
more than 20


characters and avoiding special
characters (e.g. " ?; ù) so as to avoid any
problem reading or displaying the files..
In order to be able to play a
recorded CDR or
CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select
standards ISO
9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may
not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same
recordingstandard is always used for an
individual 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.
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32
format
(File Allocation Table).
To protect the system, do not use a
USB
hub. It is recommended that you use genuine
Apple® USB cables for correct operation.

QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
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 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 in
volume or the CD play stopping. Switch the audio system off for a
few minutes
to allow the system to cool.
Radio
QUESTION RESPONSESOLUTION
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
Balance, 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.
