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.

between sources (radio, CD, etc.).
