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.

Streaming Bluetooth®
Streaming allows you to listen to the audio feed
from your smartphone.
The Bluetooth profile must be activated.
First adjust the volume on the portable device (to
a high level).
Then adjust the volume of the audio system.
If play does not start automatically, it may be
necessary to start the audio playback from the
smartphone.
Control is from the portable device or by using
the system's touch buttons.
Once connected in streaming mode, the
smartphone is considered to be a media
source.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect the Apple® player to the USB port using
a suitable cable (not supplied).
Play starts automatically.
Control is via the audio system.
The classifications available are those of the portable device connected (artists/
albums/genres/playlists/audio books/
podcasts).
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.
The version of software in the audio system may
not be compatible with the generation of the
Apple
® player.
Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices and 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.
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wma", ".aac", ".flac", ".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 32, 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.

"Navigation" menu and check the voice volume
in the sound settings.
The system does not suggest a detour
around an incident on the route.
The route settings do not take account of
TMC
messages.
►

Configure the "T
raffic info" function in the
route settings list (None, Manual or Automatic).
I am receiving a "Danger zone" alert which is
not on my route.
As well as providing guided navigation, the
system announces all "Danger areas" positioned
in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may
provide an alert for "Danger areas" located on
nearby or parallel roads.
►

Zoom the map to show the exact location
of the "Danger area".

You can select "On the
route" to stop receiving warnings or decrease the
warning duration.
Certain traffic jams along the route are not
indicated in real time.
On starting, a few minutes may elapse before

►

W
ait until traffic information is being received
correctly (traffic information icons shown on the
map).
In certain countries, only major routes
(motorways, etc.) are listed for the traffic
information.
This is perfectly normal. The system is
dependent on the traffic information available.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, GPS initialisation may take up to
3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites
correctly.
►

W
ait until the system has started up
completely so that there is GPS coverage by at
least 4
satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of
reception of the GPS signal may vary.
This behaviour is normal. The system is
dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.
My navigation is no longer connected.
During start-up and in certain geographical
areas, the connection may be unavailable.
►

Check that the online services are activated
(settings, contract).
Radio
The reception quality of the radio station
being listened to gradually deteriorates or
the station presets are not working (e.g.
no
sound, "87.5" MHz is displayed).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
►

Activate the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more powerful transmitter in
the geographical area.
The aerial is missing or damaged (e.g.

when
going through a car wash or in an underground
car park). ►

Have the aerial checked by a dealer
.
The surrounding area (e.g. hill, building, tunnel,
underground car park, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS tracking mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
stations received.
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.
►
Press "Update list" in the "Radio stations"
secondary menu.
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

Delete the files supplied with the memory
stick and limit the number of sub-folders in the
file structure on the memory stick.
There may be an extended pause after
inserting a USB stick.

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.

12► Check that the sound settings are appropriate
to the sources listened to. W e recommend
setting the sound functions (Bass, Treble,
Balance) to the middle position, setting the
musical ambience to "None", setting loudness
correction to "Active" in USB mode and "Inactive"
in Radio mode.
►

In all cases, after applying sound settings,
adjust the volume level on the portable device (to
a high level) first.

Then adjust the volume level
on the audio system.
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.
The date and time cannot be set.
Date and time settings are only available if
