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.) block 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
example).
The system interprets these details as the
station name.

after a very long wait (around 2 to 3
minutes).Some files supplied with the memory stick
may greatly slow down access to reading
the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the
catalogue time). Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
Some information characters in the currently
playing media are not displayed correctly. The audio system does not display some types
of characters.Use standard characters to name tracks and
folders.
Playback of streaming files does not start. The connected device does not automatically launch playback.Start playback from the device.

Telephone
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone may not be
visible.Check that your telephone has Bluetooth
switched on.
Check in the telephone settings that it is
"visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with
the system. You can check the compatibility of your
telephone at the Brand's website (ser vices).
The volume of the telephone connected in
Bluetooth mode is inaudible. The sound depends on both the system and
the telephone.Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume
of the telephone if necessary.
Ambient noise affects the quality of the
telephone call.
Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, etc.).

the equalizer setting is deselected.
When changing the equalizer setting, the treble
and bass settings are reset. The selection of an equalizer setting imposes
the settings for treble and bass and vice versa.
Modify the treble and bass or equalizer settings

setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources. To allow for optimal listening quality, the
audio settings can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source.Check that the audio settings are adapted
to the sources listened to. Adjust the audio
functions to the middle position.
When the engine is off, the system stops after
several minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's
operating time depends on the state of charge
of the battery.
In normal off state, the system automatically
goes into energy economy mode to maintain an
adequate charge in the battery.Turn the ignition on to increase the charge of
the battery.

The RDS, if activated, enables you to
continue listening to the same station
by automatic retuning to alternative
frequencies. 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.

DAB/FM station tracking
"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of
the country.
When the digital signal is weak,
"DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you to
continue listening to the same station,
by automatically switching to the
corresponding analogue FM station (if it
ex i st s).
When the "DAB
/ FM auto tracking" is
active, the DAB station will be selected
automatically.
Press the MENU button.
Select " Multimedia " and confirm.
Select " DAB

there is a lag of a few seconds when
the system switches to the analogue
FM station sometimes with a change in
volume. If the "DAB" station you are listening to
is not available on FM ("
DAB/FM" option
barred), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking"
is not on, the sound will be cut when the
digital signal is too weak.

connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
Playlists are updated every time a new USB
memory stick is connected.
When the USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
