priority to TA alert messages. To operate, this

function needs good reception of a radio station

that transmits this type of message. While traffic

information is being broadcast, the current

media is automatically interrupted so that the

The Bluetooth profile must be activated.

First adjust the volume on the portable device

(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of the

system.

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^®,

MirrorLink^TMor 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^®, MirrorLink^TMor

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

Brand's national website.
