Connectivity
Connecting a wired device
by USB
The USB connection of a mobile device allows it
to be recharged. It makes its authorised media
content available to the system (Media content
of iPod
® type).Only one USB socket will allow a Mirror
Screen connection (Apple®CarPlay® or
Android Auto) for the compatible connected
mobile devices and to use some of the device's
applications on the touch screen.
For more information on the USB socket
compatible with the Mirror Screen
® function,
refer to the "Ease of use and comfort - Fittings"
section.
The mobile device is in charging mode when
connected with the USB cable.
It is recommended that you use your
device's original USB cables, preferably
with a short cable to ensure optimum
performance.
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
Bluetooth® connection
Connecting a mobile device to the vehicle's
system via Bluetooth® provides access to its
contents and its "Media" streaming. It also
enables the Phone function to be activated.
The connection can be initiated either from the
mobile device's Bluetooth
® menu or from the
vehicle's system, which requires opening the "My
Devices" menu for the first connection.
In some cases, you will need to unlock
your device and check the authorisation
to synchronise contacts and recent calls.
Some features may not be supported by your
device.
For information on the partial or full
compatibility of device models or
smartphones, please connect to the Brand’s
national website.

Pairing procedure from a device
From the Bluetooth® menu on your mobile
device, select the system’s name from the
list of detected devices.
In order to make your system’s
Bluetooth® visible, first open the "My
Devices " menu on the system.
Continue the first connection procedure
proposed by the system and on the device.
For example: validating pairing codes.
Pairing procedure from the system
Press the "Settings" application.
In the list, select the "Connectivity" tab.
Select "My Devices ".
Select the name of the mobile device that
you want to connect, from:
–

The list of known devices (if the device has
already been connected to the system).
or
–


The list of detected devices (if the device
has never been connected to the system or
previously deleted from the system).
A mobile device already connected to the system will be able to reconnect
automatically when the vehicle is started,
once the user profile has been selected.
Automatic reconnection is put on hold as
soon as the "My Devices" menu is opened.
This is to allow the system to make its
Bluetooth® visible for the connection of a new
device.
The system is disconnected when the driver’s
door is opened and the ignition is switched
off.
Automatic reconnection
The system allows automatic reconnection of
devices already connected and detected when a
user profile is selected.
The priority
reconnected devices are those which
have been linked to the selected user profile or,
failing this, the last connected devices.
Wi-Fi connection
The system has an external Wi-Fi connection
mode for performing system updates.
Press the "Settings" application.
In the list, select the "Connectivity" tab.
Select "Wi-Fi".

its password.
To protect your system, only networks with a sufficient level of security are
allowed to connect. WPA2 encryption level,
equivalent to a domestic level, is required.
Any network already connected to the system will reconnect automatically as
soon as it is detected by the system and after
having previously activated the Wi-Fi function.
The Wi-Fi connection of the system to a device already connected using a Mirror
Screen
® wireless connection is not possible.
In this case, favour a Mirror
Screen
® connection using the USB socket.
Device management
For each device already connected to the
system using a wireless connection (Bluetooth®
or wireless Mirror Screen® connection), it is
possible to determine a preferred connection
mode (depending on the functions the device
can support). It is therefore possible to determine
whether the device should be connected using
a wireless Bluetooth
® connection or a wireless
Mirror Screen® connection each time the system
is started once the profile is chosen.
Press the "Settings" application.
In the list, select the "Connectivity".
Select "My Devices " to display the list of
