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.  
Information and advice  
If play does not start automatically, it may be  
necessary to start the audio playback from the  
smartphone.  
Control is from the portable device or by using the  
system's touch buttons.  
Telephone  
USB sockets  
The system supports USB mass storage devices,  
BlackBerry® devices or Apple® players via the USB  
ports. The adapter cable is not supplied.  
Devices are managed using the audio system  
controls.  
Depending on equipment, for more information  
on the USB sockets compatible with the CarPlay®,  
MirrorLinkTM or Android Auto applications, refer to  
the "Ease of use and comfort" section.  
Once connected in Streaming mode, the  
smartphone is considered to be a media  
source.  
Other devices, not recognised on connection,  
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using  
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth  
streaming, if compatible.  
The synchronisation of a smartphone  
allows users to display applications  
adapted to the CarPlay®, MirrorLinkTM or  
Android Auto technology of the smartphone on  
the vehicle screen. For the CarPlay®  
technology, the CarPlay® function must be  
activated on the smartphone beforehand.  
For the communication process between the  
smartphone and the system to work, it is  
essential in all cases that the smartphone is  
unlocked.  
As the principles and standards are constantly  
changing, it is recommended that you keep the  
smartphone's operating system up-to-date, as  
well as the date and time of the smartphone  
and of the system.  
Connecting Apple® players  
To protect the system, do not use a USB  
hub.  
Connect the Apple® player to the USB socket using  
a suitable cable (not supplied).  
Play starts automatically.  
Control is via the audio system.  
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).  
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.  
For the list of eligible smartphones, go to the
