Bluetooth® audio system

As a safety measure and because it requires sustained attention by the driver,
the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile telephone
with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your
audio system must be done with the vehicle
stationary and the ignition on.
Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in your
vehicle.
All work on the system must be carried out
exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop,
to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or
mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few
minutes if the engine is not running.

Radio
Selecting a station
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks,
...) 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.
Press the SRC/TEL button repeatedly to
select the radio.

Press LIST to display the list of stations
received, in alphabetical order.
Select the desired radio station by turning
the thumb wheel then confirm by
pressing.

(e.g. A, B, D, F, G, J, K, ...).
A long press on LIST builds or updates the list of stations; audio reception is cut
momentarily.
RDS
RDS, if displayed, makes it possible to
continue listening to the same radio
station using the alternative frequencies
function. 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.
With the radio displayed on the screen,
press OK to display the contextual menu.
Select "RDS" and confirm to save.
"RDS" is displayed in the screen.
Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert messages. To
operate, this function needs good reception of
a radio station that carries this type of
message. When a traffic report is transmitted,
the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...)
is interrupted automatically to play the TA
message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end of
the message.
Press TA to activate or deactivate the
reception of traffic messages.
Display TEXT INFO

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a
compression rate that is constant or variable
between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
File names should have less than 20
characters, avoiding special characters
(e.g.: “
? ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or
display problems.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and
.pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 500
directories on a maximum of 8 levels.
On a single disc, the CD player can read
up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8
directory levels. However, it is recommended
that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the
time taken to access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not observed during
playback.
In order to be able to play a burned CDR
or CDRW, select standards ISO 9660
level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible when burning the
CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may not
be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning
standard is always used on an individual disc,
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum) for
the best acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the
Joliet standard is recommended.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB
device other than audio players to the
USB port. This may cause damage to your
installation.
Playing a compilation
Insert an MP3 compilation in the CD player or
connect a memory stick to the USB port, directly
or via an extension lead.
The system creates playlists (temporary memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or a USB memory stick
is connected.
Play starts automatically after a certain
amount of time depending on the capacity of
the USB memory stick.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT
32 (File Allocation Table).
On first connection, the order suggested is
by folder. When connecting again, the order
previously chosen is retained.
To play a disc or memory stick which has already been inserted, press the SRC/
TEL button repeatedly and select " CD" or "USB".
