Frequently asked questions
The following information groups together the
answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning your audio system.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 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
information.Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are not found (no sound,
87.5
MHz is displayed, etc.). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the SRC button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2) on which the
stations are stored.
Audio system

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.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating system
not recognised by the audio system.-
C heck that the CD is inserted in the player
the right way up.
-

C
heck the condition of the CD: the CD
cannot be played if it is too badly damaged.
-

C
heck the content in the case of a recorded
CD: consult the advice in the "Audio"
section.
-

T
he audio system’s CD player does not play
DVDs.
-

B
ecause of low quality, certain burned CDs
will not be read by the audio system.
The CD sound is of poor quality. The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in
suitable conditions.
The audio settings (bass, treble, ambiences)
are unsuitable. Return bass and treble settings to 0, without
selecting an ambience.
In "Random all" play, not all of the tracks are
played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take
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.
.
Audio system

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.
