FM-DAB Follow-up
"DAB" does not cover 100 % of the country.
When the digital radio signal is poor, the "FM-DAB
Follow-up" enables you to continue listening to
the same station by automatically switching to
the corresponding "FM" analogue station (if there
is one).

may be a time offset of a few seconds
when the system switches to "FM" analogue
radio, and in some cases a change in volume.
When the digital signal quality is restored, the
system automatically changes back to "DAB".
If the "DAB" station being listened to is
not available on "FM", or if "FM-DAB
Follow-up" is not activated, the sound will cut
out while the digital signal is too weak.
Media
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick into the USB
port or connect the USB device to the USB
port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do not use a USB
hub. The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
Playlists are updated whenever the ignition is
switched off or a USB memory stick is connected.
The audio system memorises these lists, which
will subsequently load faster if they have not been
changed.
Auxiliary (AUX) jack socket
Depending on equipmentConnect a portable device (MP3 player,
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an
audio cable (not supplied).
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been selected in the audio settings.

a high level). Then adjust the volume of the audio
system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.

podcasts). It is also possible to use a
classification structured in the form of a
library.
The default classification used is by artist. To
modify the classification used, return to the
first level of the menu then select the desired
classification (playlists for example) and
confirm to go down through the menu to the
desired track.

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", ".ogg" and ".mp3" file
extensions, at bit rates between 32 Kbps and 320
Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.
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 FAT32 format (File
Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB
cable for the portable device.

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.
The aerial is missing or has been damaged
(for example while entering a car wash or
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 no longer received or its name has
changed in the list.
►  Press the round arrow on the "List" tab on 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.
►  Press the round arrow on the "List" tab on the
"Radio" page.
Media
Playback of my USB memory stick starts only
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 cataloguing
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 characters in information about the
currently playing media are not displayed
correctly.
The audio system is unable to process certain
types of character.
►  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.
Track names and playing times are not displayed
on the audio streaming screen.
The Bluetooth profile does not allow the transfer
of this information.
Telephone
I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone.
The telephone's Bluetooth function may be
switched off or the telephone may not be visible.
►  Check that the 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.
►  Check the compatibility of the telephone on
the Brand's website (services). Android Auto and CarPlay do not work.
Android Auto and CarPlay may not activate if the
USB cables are of poor quality.
► 
Use genuine USB cables to ensure
compatibility.
The volume of the telephone connected in
Bluetooth mode is inaudible.
The volume 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 ambient noise (close windows, reduce
ventilation, slow down, etc.).
The contacts are not listed in alphabetical order.
Some telephones offer display options. Depending
on the settings chosen, contacts can be
transferred in a specific order.
►  Modify the telephone directory display
settings.Settings
When the treble and bass settings are changed,
the ambience is deselected.
When the ambience is changed, the treble and
bass settings are reset.
Selecting an ambience imposes the treble and
bass settings, and vice versa.
►  Modify the treble and bass or ambience
settings to obtain the desired musical ambience. When the balance settings are changed, the
distribution is deselected.
When the distribution setting is changed, the
balance settings are deselected.
Selecting a distribution setting imposes the
balance settings, and vice versa.
► 
Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
There is a difference in sound quality between
audio sources.
To allow for optimal listening quality, the sound
settings can be tailored to different audio
sources, which can generate audible differences
when changing source.
►  Check that the sound settings are appropriate
to the sources listened to. Adjust the sound
functions to the middle position.
When the engine is off, the system switches off
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.
The switch-off is normal: the system
automatically goes into energy economy mode
and switches off to maintain an adequate charge
in the battery.
►  Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the
charge of the battery.
