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.
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.

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).
The volume of the telephone connected in
Bluetooth mode is inaudible.
The volume depends on both the system and the
telephone.
Ambient noise affects the quality of the telephone
call.
►  Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
►  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.
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.
