The audible warning is not active or the volume is

too low.

Select the display format for the time

(12h/24h).

Activate or deactivate summer time (+1

217

►ꢀ Activate the audible warning in the

"Navigation" menu and check the voice volume in

the sound settings.

The system does not suggest a detour around an

incident on the route.

The route settings do not take account of TMC

messages.

►ꢀ Configure the "Traffic info " function in

the route settings list (Without, Manual or

Automatic).

The altitude is not displayed.

►ꢀ Have the aerial checked by a dealer.

On starting, GPS initialisation 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, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of

reception of the GPS signal may vary.

This behaviour is normal. The system is dependent

on the GPS signal reception conditions.

My navigation is no longer connected.

During start-up and in certain geographical areas,

the connection may be unavailable.

►ꢀ Check that the online services are activated

(settings, contract).

The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,

basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,

including in RDS mode.

This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is not

indicative of an audio system malfunction.

I cannot find some radio stations in the list of

stations received.

The name of the radio station changes.

The station is no longer received or its name has

changed in the list.

Some radio stations send other information in

place of their name (the title of the song for

example).

I receive a warning about a "Danger area" that is

not on my route.

As well as providing guided navigation, the

system announces all "Danger areas" positioned

in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may

provide an alert for "Danger areas" located on

nearby or parallel roads.

►ꢀ Zoom the map to show the exact location

of the "Danger area". You can select "On the

route" to stop receiving warnings or decrease the

warning duration.

The system interprets these details as the station

name.

►ꢀ Press the "Update list" button in the "Radio

stations” secondary menu.

Radio

Media

The reception quality of the tuned radio station

gradually deteriorates or the station presets are

not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed,

etc.).

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).

Certain traffic jams along the route are not

indicated in real time.

On starting, a few minutes may elapse before the

system begins to receive traffic information.

►ꢀ Wait until traffic information is being received

correctly (traffic information icons shown on the

map).

In certain countries, only major routes

(motorways, etc.) are listed for the traffic

information.

The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s

transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the

geographical area.

►ꢀ Activate the "" 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 aerial is missing or has been damaged

(for example while entering a car wash or

underground car park).

►ꢀ Delete the files supplied with the memory

stick and limit the number of sub-folders in the

file structure on the memory stick.

There may be an extended pause after inserting a

USB stick.

This is perfectly normal. The system is dependent

on the traffic information available.

DS CONNECT NAV

The system reads a variety of data (folder, title,

artist, etc.). This can take from a few seconds to

a few minutes.

►ꢀ You can check that your telephone is

compatible 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.

►ꢀ 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

windows, reduce ventilation, slow down, etc.).

Some contacts are duplicated in the list.

The options for synchronising contacts are:

synchronise the contacts on the SIM card, the

contacts on the telephone, or both. When both

synchronisations are selected, some contacts

may be duplicated.

►ꢀ Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display

telephone contacts".

The contacts are not listed in alphabetical order.

Some telephones offer display options. Depending

on the settings chosen, contacts can be

transferred in a specific order.

Settings

When the treble and bass settings are changed,

the ambience is deselected.

This is perfectly normal.

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

balance settings, and vice versa.

►ꢀ 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. We recommend setting

the sound functions (Bass:, Treble:, Balance) to

the middle position, setting the musical ambience

to "None", setting loudness correction to "Active"

in USB mode and "Inactive" in Radio mode.

►ꢀ In all cases, after applying sound settings,

adjust the volume level on the portable device (to

a high level) first. Then adjust the volume level on

the audio system.

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.
