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 there is one).
When "DAB / FM auto tracking" is
active, the DAB station will be selected
automatically.

If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is activated,
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.

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.

auxiliary Jack socket, depending on version.

Insert a USB memory stick into the USB port
or connect a USB peripheral device to the USB
port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
The system changes automatically to "USB"
source.

The system creates playlists (temporary
memory), which can take from a few seconds
to several minutes on the first connection.
Reducing the number of non-music files and
the number of folders reduces this waiting
time. Playlists are updated every time a new
USB memory stick is connected.

Press this button to display the
contextual menu for the Media
function.
Press this button to select the play
mode.

Press this button to confirm.

Play mode

- Random: the tracks in an album or folder

are played in a random order.

- Random on all media: all of the tracks

saved in the media are played in random
order.

- Repeat: the tracks played are only those

from the current album or folder.

The choice made is displayed at the top of the
screen.

While connected by USB, the portable
device may be charged automatically.

To protect the system, do not use a
USB hub.

Any additional equipment connected
to the system must conform to
the standard of the product or
standard IEC 60950-1.

Audio and Telematics

The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

With the engine off, the
audio system switches off
after a few minutes of use.

When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment 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.

The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display.

In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature
is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play
stopping.

Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.

Frequently asked questions

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD...).

For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience and Loudness) can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source (radio, CD...).

Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance
and Left-Right Balance) to the middle position,
select the musical ambience "None" and set the
loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD
mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

The preset stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...).

An incorrect waveband is selected.

Press the BAND button to return to the waveband
(FM, FM2, DAB, AM) on which the stations are
preset.

The traffic announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information.

The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information
network.

Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.

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 to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.

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

This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault in the audio system.

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

Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2 seconds in radio mode.

During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another
frequency giving better reception of the station.

Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.

The state of charge of the device may be too low.

Charge the battery of the portable device.

The message "USB device
error" is displayed in the
screen.

The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The USB memory stick may be corrupt.

Reformat the USB memory stick.

The CD is ejected every
time or is not played.

The CD is upside down, cannot be read, does not contain audio
files or contains audio files of a format not recognised by the audio
system.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating system not recognised by
the audio system.

- 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 damaged.

- Check the content in the case of a recorded

CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.

- Due to their quality level, certain writeable

CDs will not be played by the audio system.

The sound from the CD is
poor.

The CD used is scratched or of poor quality.

Insert a good quality CD and store them in
suitable conditions.

The audio settings (base, treble, ambience) are unsuitable.

Return bass and treble settings to 0, without
selecting an ambience.

I am unable to play
the music files on my
smartphone via the USB

I am unable to access my
voicemail.

Few telephones or service providers allow the use of this function.

Call your voicemail box, via the telephone menu,
using the number supplied by your service
provider.

I am unable to access my
directory of contacts.

Check the compatibility of your telephone.

You did not give access to your contacts when pairing the telephone. Accept or confirm access by the system to the

specific aspects in the pairing procedure and some telephones are
not compatible.

Before starting the pairing procedure, delete the
pairing of the telephone from the system and of
the system from the telephone, so as to see the
compatibility of the telephones.
