Frequently asked
questions
The following information groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning your audio system.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 avoid discharging the vehicle's battery.► Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the charge of the battery.The message "the audio system is overheated" is displayed onscreen.To protect the installation if the ambient temperature is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode, in which the volume may be decreased or the CD player stopped.► Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
Radio
There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.).For optimal listening quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) can be adjusted to different audio sources, resulting in audible differences when switching
between sources (radio, CD, etc.).► Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are appropriate to the sources being listened to. We recommend setting the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance and Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, setting the musical ambience to "None", setting loudness correction to "Active" in CD mode and "Inactive" in Radio mode.

basement car parks, etc.) may block reception, including in RDS mode.This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is not indicative of an audio system malfunction.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 aerial checked by a dealer.The sound intermittently cuts out for 1 or 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 occurs too frequently and always on the same route.
Media
The Bluetooth connection is cut.The battery in the peripheral device may not be sufficiently charged.► Charge the battery in the peripheral device.The message "USB device error" is displayed in the screen.The USB stick has not been recognised, or may be corrupted.► Reformat the USB memory stick.The CD is systematically ejected or is not played.The CD is upside down, cannot be read, does not contain audio files or contains audio files of a format not recognised by the audio system.The CD is protected by an anti-pirating system
not recognised by the audio system.► Check that the CD is inserted in the player the right way up.► Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be played if it is too badly damaged.► Check the content in the case of a burned CD: read the recommendations in the "Audio" section.Due to poor quality, certain burned CDs will not
be played by the audio system.
The CD audio quality is is poor.The CD is scratched or of poor quality.► Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.The audio settings (bass, treble, ambience) are unsuitable.► Return bass and treble settings to 0, without selecting an ambience.I am unable to play the music files on my smartphone via the USB port.Depending on the smartphone, access by the audio system to music on the smartphone may have to be approved on the latter.► Manually activate the MTP profile on the smartphone (USB settings menu).
