telephone:

modes).

Select "OK

Then accept automatic connection on the telephone to allow the 

telephone to reconnect automatically every time the vehicle is

The "Hands-free mode" should be used in preference if 
"Streaming" is not desired.

The services available depend on the network, the SIM card and the compatibility of the Bluetooth telephone used. Check the telephone 

manual and with your network provider for details of the services available to you.

Depending on the type of telephone, the system will ask you to 

accept or not the transfer of your contacts.

On return to the vehicle,the last telephone connected 

automatically reconnects, within around 30 seconds after 

switching on the ignition (Bluetooth activated and visible).
To modify the automatic connection mode, remove the pairing 

and pair the telephone again with the desired mode.

Enter a minimum 4 figure code in the telephone 

and confirm.

Selecting a station

The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park...) may interfere with the reception, including in RDS station tracking mode. 

This phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audio system.

The quality of reception is represented by the number of 

active waves in this symbol.

contextual menu.

RDS, if activated, allows you to continue listening to the same station 

by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in certain 

conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout 
the entire country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. 

This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.

CD, MP3 CD / USB player

The audio equipment will only play audio files with ".wma, .aac, .flac, 

.ogg and .mp3" file extensions and with a bit rate of between 32 Kbps 

and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of file (.mp4, .m3u...) can be played.

WMA files must be of the standard wma 9 type.
The sampling rates supported are greater than 32 KHz.

It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters, without using of 

special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing and displaying 

problems.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording 

it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format (udf, ...), 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 

recommended.

Information and advice

The system supports USB mass storage or iPod 
devices via the USB port (suitable cable not supplied).
If a partitioned USB memory key is connected to the 

system, only the first partition is recognised.

Control of the peripheral device is with the audio 

system controls.
The number of tracks is limited to 2000 maximum, 

999 tracks per folder.
If the current consumption at the USB port exceeds 

500 mA, the system goes into protection mode and 
deactivates the port.
Other peripherals, not recognised on connection, must 

be connected to the auxiliary socket using a Jack cable 

(not supplied).

Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT32 (File Allocation Table).

The system does not support the operation of an Apple

®

 player and a 

USB memory stick connected at the same time.

It is recommended that official Apple

®

 USB cables are used to ensure 

correct operation.

Insert the CD in the player, insert the USB 
memory stick in the USB player or connect the 
USB peripheral to the USB port using a suitable 
cable (not supplied).
The system builds playlists (in temporary 

memory), an operation which can take from 

a few seconds to several minutes at the first 

connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the 

number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the ignition 

is switched off or connection of a USB memory 

stick. However, the system memorises these 

lists and if they are not modified, the loading 

time will be shorter.

Play starts automatically after a period which 

depends on the capacity of the USB memory 
stick.
