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

entire country as radio stations do not cover
100% of the territory. This explains the loss
of reception of the station during a

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
upper band 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 absent or has been damaged (for
example when going through a
car wash or into
an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a
dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
received stations.
The name of the radio station changes. The station is not received or has changed its
name in the list.
Press the round arrow on the "List" tab of the
"Radio" page.
Some radio stations send other information
in place of their name (the title of the song for
