Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
The remote control does not work when the
key is in the ignition switch.

Media

Insert the USB memory stick into the USB port
or connect the USB device/iPod to the USB port
using a suitable cable (not supplied).
USB device format supported: FAT16 or FAT32.
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
Music
The system supports MP3 and WAV audio file
types.
The system builds music 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.

The system can play video files in the AVI, WMV,
MP4, MOV, M4V, DAT and VOB formats.
Video control commands are accessible only
through the touch screen.

available.
USB video is not available if Android Auto or
Apple CarPlay
® is active/connected.
For safety reasons, park the vehicle
before playing a video.
