Play starts automatically.  
The services available depend on the  
network, the SIM card and the  
compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used.  
Consult the telephone user guide and the  
service provider to check which services are  
available.  
The audio system will only play audio files with  
".wav", ".wma", ".aac", ".ogg" and ".mp3" file  
extensions, at bit rates between 32 Kbps and  
320 Kbps.  
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.  
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.  
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.  
The supported sampling rates are 11, 22, 44 and  
48 KHz.  
To avoid reading and display problems, we  
recommend choosing file names less than 20  
characters long that do not contain any special  
characters (e.g. “ ? . ; ù).  
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format  
(File Allocation Table).  
Control is via the audio system.  
The classifications available are those of  
the portable device connected (artists/  
albums/genres/playlists/audio books/  
podcasts). It is also possible to use a  
classification structured in the form of a  
library.  
The default classification used is by artist. To  
modify the classification used, return to the  
first level of the menu then select the desired  
classification (playlists for example) and  
confirm to go down through the menu to the  
desired track.  
The Bluetooth function must be activated and  
the telephone configured as "Visible to all” (in the  
telephone settings).  
To complete the pairing, whichever procedure is  
used (from the telephone or from the system),  
ensure that the code is the same in the system  
and in the telephone.  
If the pairing procedure fails, we  
recommend deactivating and then  
reactivating the Bluetooth function on the  
telephone.  
The version of software in the audio system may  
not be compatible with the generation of the  
Apple® player.  
We recommend using the original USB  
cable for the portable device.

including in RDS mode.  
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is  
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.  
The aerial is missing or has been damaged  
(for example while entering a car wash or  
underground car park).  
Press this button to set the date.  
Difficulties in connecting wirelessly your

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).  
When the treble and bass settings are  
changed, the ambience is deselected.  
When the ambience is changed, the treble  
and bass settings are reset.  
Selecting an ambience imposes the treble and  
bass settings, and vice versa.  
► Modify the treble and bass or ambience  
settings to obtain the desired musical ambience.  
When the balance settings are changed, the  
distribution is deselected.  
When the distribution setting is changed, the  
balance settings are deselected.  
Selecting a distribution setting imposes the

► Modify the balance setting or the distribution  
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.  
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.
