“TA”:  
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives  
priority to TA alert messages. To operate, this  
function needs good reception of a radio station  
transmitting this type of message. When a traffic  
report is transmitted, the current audio source  
(Radio, CD, USB, etc.) is interrupted automati-  
cally to play the TA message. Normal playback  
of the audio source resumes at the end of the  
transmission of the message.  
“RDS”:  
RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue lis-  
tening to the same station by automatically  
retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in  
certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station  
may not be assured throughout the country as  
radio stations do not cover 100% of the territory.  
This explains the loss of reception of the station  
during a journey.  
“TXT”:  
Radio text is information transmitted by the radio  
station related to the current program or song.

Reception sensitivity  
The exterior environment (hills, buildings, tunnel, car park, below  
ground...) may prevent reception, even in RDS station tracking  
mode.This phenomenon is normal in the propagation of radio waves and  
is in no way indicative of a fault with the audio system.  
The radio antenna is mounted on the roof. The antenna can be removed  
from the base by turning it.  
NOTICE  
To prevent damage, remove the antenna in the following cases  
The antenna will touch the ceiling of a garage.  
A cover will be put on the roof.

MP3 and WMA files  
3
MP3 (MPEG Audio LAYER3) is a standard audio compression format.  
Files can be compressed to approximately 1/10 of their original size by using  
MP3 compression.  
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a Microsoft audio compression format.  
This format compresses audio data to a size smaller than that of the MP3  
format.  
MP3 file compatibility  
A high compression rate can adversely affect sound quality.  
The CD player can read up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8 folder levels  
with a maximum of 192 folders. However, it is recommended that this be  
kept to 2 levels so as to limit the time taken to access and play the CD.  
While playing, the folder structure is not observed.  
Playlists  
The types of playlists that are accepted: “.m3u” and “.wpl”.  
The number of files recognized is limited to 5000 in 500 folders on a maxi-  
mum of 8 levels.

3-3. Using the audio system (Type B)  
Compatible disc formats  
In order to be able to play a recorded CD-R or CD-RW, when recording it  
is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.  
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played correctly.  
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used for an  
individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for optimum  
sound quality.  
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is recom-  
mended.

USB memory functions  
Depending on the USB memory that is connected to the system, the  
device itself may not be operable and certain functions may not be avail-  
able. If the device is inoperable or a function is unavailable due to a mal-  
function (as opposed to a system specification), disconnecting the device  
and reconnecting it once again may resolve the problem.  
If the USB memory still does not begin operation after being discon-  
nected and reconnected, format the memory.  
The system creates playlists (temporary memory), the creation time for  
which this can take, can be from a few seconds to several minutes. The  
playlists are updated every time the ignition is switched off or a USB  
memory stick is connected. Play starts automatically after a period, which  
depends on the capacity of the USB memory stick.

At a first connection, the order suggested is by folder. When connecting  
again, the order previously chosen is retained.

iPod functions  
When an iPod is connected and the audio source is changed to iPod  
mode, the iPod will resume play from the same point in which it was last  
used.  
Depending on the iPod that is connected to the system, certain functions  
may not be available. If a function is unavailable due to a malfunction (as  
opposed to a system specification), disconnecting the device and recon-  
necting it once again may resolve the problem.  
While connected to the system, the iPod cannot be operated with its own  
controls. It is necessary to use the controls of the vehicle’s audio system  
instead.  
The playlists are those defined in the iPod.  
iPod problems  
To resolve most problems encountered when using your iPod, discon-  
nect your iPod from the vehicle iPod connection and reset it. For instruc-  
tions on how to reset your iPod, refer to your iPod Owner’s Manual.  
The iPod must be updated regularly for the best connection.
