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).
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.).

► 
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.
