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 without 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
the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet standards.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may
not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording
standard 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.

Frequently asked questions
The following information puts together the answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning your audio system. QUESTION RESPONSESOLUTION
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.

QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
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.
The preset stations do not function (no sound,
87.5
MHz is displayed, etc.). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which
the stations are stored.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic information. The radio station is not part of the regional
traffic information network.Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the preset 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 to allow the system to
see if a more power ful transmitter is within the
geographic area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking 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 a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 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
is too frequent and always on the same route.
