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 propagation of radio 
waves and does not indicate any failure of the 
audio system.

Touch screen BLUETOOTH audio system
The audio settings are the same as the audio settings for the radio. For more 
information on the " Audio settings", refer to 
the corresponding section.
Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage 
devices, BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players 
via the USB ports. The adapter cable is not 
supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system 
controls.
Other devices, not recognised on connection, 
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using 
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth 
streaming, if compatible.
To protect the system, do not use a USB  hub.
The audio system will only play audio files with 
".wav", ".wma", ".aac", ".mp3", ".mp4", ".m4a", 
".flac", ".ogg" file extensions and with a bit rate 
of between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps (300 Kbps 
maximum for ".flac" files).
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 11, 22, 44 and 
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we 
recommend choosing file names less than 20 
characters long that do not contain any special 
characters (e.g. “ ? .
  ; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT or FAT32 
format  (File Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB 
cable for the portable device.
Telephone

used (from the telephone or from the system), 
ensure that the code is the same in the system 
and in the telephone.
The services available depend on the 
network, the SIM card and the 
compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used. 
Check for services availability in the phone's 
manual and with the operator.
The profiles compatible with the system  are: HFP, OPP, PBAP, DID, A2DP, 
AVRCP, SPP and PAN.

Frequently asked 
questions
The following information groups together the  answers to the most frequently asked questions 
concerning the system.
Radio
The reception quality of the tuned radio 
station gradually deteriorates or the station 
presets are not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz 
is displayed, etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s 
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the 
geographical area.
►
 
Activate the "RDS" function in the upper bar 
to enable the system to check whether there is 
a more powerful transmitter in the geographical 
area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, 
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, 
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is 
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.    

245

Press the "
 Radio Settings "
  button then 
select "Update list". The radio reception is 
cut off while searching for available stations 
(approximately 30
  seconds).

time).
► 
Delete the files supplied with the memory 
stick and limit the number of sub-folders in the 
file structure on the memory stick.
