geographical area.  
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,  
basement car parks, etc.) block reception,  
including in RDS mode.  
This phenomenon is normal and does not  
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.  
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 dealer.

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

station name.

QUESTION  
RESPONSE  
SOLUTION  
Playback of my USB memory stick starts only

Delete the files supplied with the memory stick  
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file  
structure on the memory stick.  
Some information characters in the currently  
playing media are not displayed correctly.  
The audio system does not display some types  
of characters.

Telephone  
QUESTION  
RESPONSE  
SOLUTION  
I am unable to connect my Bluetooth  
telephone.  
The telephone's Bluetooth function may be  
switched off or the telephone may not be  
visible.  
Check that your 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.  
You can check the compatibility of your  
telephone at the Brand's website (services).  
Android Auto and CarPlay do not work.  
Android Auto and CarPlay may not activate if  
the USB cables are of poor quality.  
Use authentic USB cables to ensure  
compatibility.  
The volume of the telephone connected in  
Bluetooth mode is inaudible.  
The sound depends on both the system and  
the telephone.  
Increase the volume of the audio system, to  
maximum if required, and increase the volume  
of the telephone if necessary.  
Ambient noise affects the quality of the  
telephone call.  
Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,  
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, etc.).  
The contacts are not listed in alphabetical  
order.  
Some phones provide display options.  
Depending on the chosen settings, contacts  
can be transferred in a specific order.  
Modify the telephone directory display settings.

Settings  
QUESTION  
RESPONSE  
SOLUTION  
When changing the setting of treble and bass,  
the equalizer setting is deselected.  
The selection of an equalizer setting imposes  
the settings for treble and bass and vice versa.  
Modify the treble and bass or equalizer settings  
to obtain the desired musical ambience.  
When changing the equalizer setting, the treble  
and bass settings are reset.  
When changing the balance setting,  
distribution is deselected.  
The selection of a distribution setting imposes  
the balance settings and vice versa.  
Modify the balance setting or the distribution  
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.  
When changing the distribution setting, the  
balance setting is deselected.  
There is a difference in sound quality between  
the different audio sources.  
To allow for optimal listening quality, the  
audio settings can be tailored to different  
sound sources, which can generate audible  
differences when changing source.  
Check that the audio settings are adapted  
to the sources listened to. Adjust the audio  
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.  
Turn the ignition on to increase the 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.
