Radio reception may be affected by the
use of electrical equipment not approved
by DS AUTOMOBILES, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12
V socket.
The external environment (hills, buildings,
tunnels, basement car parks, etc.) may
block reception, including in RDS mode.
This is a
normal effect of the way in
which radio waves are transmitted and
does not indicate any failure of the audio
equipment.

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.

DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting) radio
Digital radio
Digital radio provides higher quality
reception and also the graphical display
of current information on the radio station
being listened to. Select "List" in the
primary page.
The different multiplexes offer a choice
of radio stations arranged in alphabetical
o r d e r.
Press Radio Media to display the
primary page.
Select change of source. Select "DAB Radio ".

DAB/FM station tracking
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the
te r r i to r y.
When the digital radio signal is poor,
the "DAB/FM station tracking" allows
you to continue listening to the same
station, by automatically switching to the
corresponding FM analogue station (if
there is one). Press Radio Media to display the
primary page.
Press on the secondary page. Select "Settings ".
Select " Radio".
Select " Digital/FM auto tracking " then
" Confirm ".
If "DAB/FM station tracking" is enabled,
there is a
lag of a few seconds when the
system switches to analogue radio "FM",
sometimes with a
change in volume.
Once the digital signal quality is restored,
the system automatically changes back
to " DA B ". If the "DAB" station being listened to is
not available on "FM" ("
DAB/FM" option
greyed out), or "DAB/FM station tracking"
is not activated, the sound will cut out
while the digital signal is too weak.

or connect the USB device to the USB port
using a


suitable cable (not supplied).

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 be shorter.

This source is only available if the "Auxiliary
socket" option has been activated in the
"Media" settings.

Radio
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
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" function by means of the
short-cut menu 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, etc.) blocks reception,
including in RDS 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 an automatic car
wash or in an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by an authorised
DS


AUTOMOBILES dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
picked stations.
The name of the radio station changes. The station is not picked or has changed its
name in the list.
Some radio stations send other information
in place of their name (the title of the song for
example).
The system interprets these details as the
station name.Press the system function: "Update list" to
update the list of stations received.
The altitude is not displayed.
On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may
take up to 3 minutes to receive more than
4

satellites correctly.
Wait until the system has started up completely
so that there is GPS coverage by at least
4

satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of
reception of the GPS signal may vary. This is per fectly normal. The system is
dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.

Settings
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
When changing the setting of treble and bass,
the equalizer setting is deselected.
When changing the equalizer setting, the treble
and bass settings are reset. The selection of an equalizer setting imposes
the treble and bass settings.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass or equalizer settings
to obtain the desired musical ambience.
When changing the balance setting,
distribution is deselected.
When changing the distribution setting, the
balance setting is deselected. Choosing a
distribution setting imposes
a


balance setting.
Modifying one without the other is not possible. Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
When the "All passengers" mode is selected,
the distribution is not as expected. The choice of an "All passengers" distribution
setting can be programmed.Modify the distribution setting using the slider
on the touch screen.
There is a
difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources. 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.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, Balance) to
the middle position, select the " None" musical
ambience and set the loudness correction to
the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When the engine is off, the system stops after
several minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's
operating time depends on the state of charge
of the battery.
In normal off state, the system automatically
goes into energy economy mode to maintain an
adequate charge in the battery.Turn the ignition on to increase the charge of
the battery.
