QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

Certain traffic jams along 
the route are not indicated 
in real time.

On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive 
the traffic information.

Wait until the traffic information is being received 
correctly (display of the traffic information icons 
on the map).

the filters are too restrictive.

Modify the settings.

In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for 
the traffic information.

this phenomenon is normal. the system is 
dependent on the traffic information available.

the altitude is not 
displayed.

On starting, the initialisation of the gPS may take up to 3 minutes to 
receive more than 4 satellites correctly.

Wait until the system has started up completely so 
that there is gPS coverage by at least 4 satellites.

Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel...) or the 
weather, the conditions of reception of the gPS signal may vary.

this phenomenon is normal. the system 
is dependent on the gPS signal reception 
conditions.

Radio

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

the quality of reception of 
the radio station listened 
to gradually deteriorates 
or the stored stations do 
not function (no sound, 
87.5 Mhz is displayed...).

the vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station 
listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area 
through which the vehicle is travelling.

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 environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) 
block reception, including in RDS mode.

this phenomenon is normal and does not indicate 
a fault with the audio system.

the aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going 
through a car wash or into an underground car park).

Have the aerial checked by a PeugeOt dealer.

I cannot find some radio 
stations in the list of 
stations received.

the station is not received or its name has changed in the list.

Press and hold the "List" button at the steering 
mounted controls to update the list of stations 
received or press on the system update function: 
"update list".

Some radio stations send other information in place of their name 
(the title of the song for example).
the system interprets this information as the name of the station.

the name of the radio 
station changes.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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 
catalogue time).

Delete the files supplied with the memory stick 
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file 
structure on the memory stick.

When I connect my iPhone 
as a telephone and to the 
uSB port at the same time, 
I am unable to play the 
music files.

When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces 
the streaming function. the streaming function takes the place of 
the uSB function which is then not useable, there is a period without 
sound of the track being played with Apple

®

 players.

Disconnect and reconnect to the uSB port (the 
uSB function takes priority over streaming).

the CD is ejected 
automatically or is not 
played by the player.

the CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any 
audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.

Check that the CD is inserted in the player the 
right way up.
Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be 
played if it is too badly damaged.
Check the content in the case of a recorded CD: 
refer to the advice in the "AuDIO" section.
the audio system's CD player does not play 
DVDs.
Some recorded CDs will not be played by the 
audio system because they are not of adequate 
quality.

the CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the player (udf...).

the CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is 
not recognised by the audio system.

there is a long waiting 
period following the insertion 
of a CD or connection of a 
uSB memory stick.

When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain 
amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). this may take from a few 
seconds to a few minutes.

this phenomenon is normal.

Settings

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

In changing the setting 
of treble and bass the 
equalizer setting is 
deselected.

the selection of an equalizer setting imposes the balance settings.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.

Modify the balance or equalizer settings to obtain 
the desired musical ambience.

In changing the equalizer 
setting, treble and bass 
return to zero.

When changing the 
balance settings, the 
distribution setting is 
deselected.

the selection of a distribution setting imposes the balance settings.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.

Modify the balance or distribution settings to 
obtain the desired musical ambience.

When changing an 
distribution setting,

308_en_Chap10b_SMegplus_ed01-2016

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

there is a difference in 
sound quality between the 
different audio sources.

For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Loudness, 
Ambience, treble, Bass, Volume can be adapted to the different 
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when 
changing source.

Check that the audio settings (Loudness, 
Ambience, treble, Bass, Volume) are adapted to 
the sources listened to. Adjust Balance, treble 
and Bass to the middle position, select the 
"None" musical ambience and set the loudness 
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or 
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

With the engine off, the 
system switches off after a 
few 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 switches to economy mode and 
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery 
charge.

Telephone

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

I cannot connect my 
Bluetooth telephone.

the telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the 
telephone may not be visible.

Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is 
switched on.
Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible 
to all".

the Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system.

You can check the compatibility of your telephone 
at www.peugeot.co.uk (services).

the volume of the 
telephone connected 
in Bluetooth mode is 
inaudible.

the volume depends both on the system and on the telephone.

Increase the volume of the audio system, to 
maximum if required, and increase the volume of 
the telephone if necessary.

the ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone 
communication.

Reduce the ambient noise level (close the 
windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow 
down...).

Some contacts are 
duplicated in the list.

the options for synchronizing contacts are synchronizing the 
contacts on the SIM card, the contacts on the telephone, or both. 
When both synchronizations are selected, some contacts may be 
duplicated.

Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display 
telephone contacts".

Contacts are not shown in 
alphabetical order.

Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings 
chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order.

Modify the display setting in the telephone 
directory.

the system does not receive 
SMS text messages.

the Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to 
the system.

Your PeugeOt Connect Sound (RD5) is coded in such a way 
that it will only operate in your vehicle.

As a safety measure, the driver must only carry out operations 
which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent discharging of the 
battery, the audio equipment may switch off after a few minutes.

RDS

the external environment (hills, 
buildings, tunnels, basement car 
parks, ...) may block reception, 
including in RDS mode. this is a 
normal effect of the way in which radio 
waves are transmitted and does not 
indicate any failure of the audio system.

Press the MENU button.

Select "Audio functions".

Press OK.

Select the "FM waveband 
preferences" function.

Press OK.

Select "Activate RDS".

Press OK, RDS is displayed in the 
screen.

In "Radio" mode, press OK directly to activate / 
deactivate RDS mode.

RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue 
listening to the same station by automatic 
retuning to alternative frequencies. 
However, in certain conditions, coverage 
of an RDS station may not be assured 
throughout the country as radio stations 
do not cover 100 % of the territory. this 
explains the loss of reception of a station 
that can occur during a journey.

Receiving TA messages

Press the TA button to activate or 
deactivate traffic messages.

the tA (traffic Announcement) 
function gives priority to tA alert 
messages. to operate, this function 
needs good reception of a radio station 
transmitting this type of message. 
When a traffic report is transmitted, the 
current audio source (Radio, CD, ...) 
is interrupted automatically to play the 
tA message. Normal playback of the 
audio source resumes at the end of the 
transmission of the message.

DAB / FM tracking

"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of 
the country.
When the digital signal is weak, 
"DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you to 
continue listening to the same station, 
by automatically switching to the 
corresponding analogue "FM" station 
(if it exists).

If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is on, there 
will be a difference of a few seconds 
in the programme when the system 
changes to analogue "FM" radio, with 
sometimes a variation in volume.
When the strength of the digital signal 
is good again, the system automatically 
switches back to "DAB"

If the "DAB" station you are listening 
to is not available on "FM" ("DAB/FM" 
option barred), or if "DAB / FM auto 
tracking" is not on, the sound will be cut 
when the digital signal is too weak.
