memory), an operation which can take
from a few seconds to several minutes at
the first connection.
Limiting the number of non-music files and
the number of folders reduces this waiting
time. The playlists are updated every
time the ignition is switched off or a USB
memory stick is connected.
The lists are memorised: if they are not
modified, the subsequent loading time will
be shorter.

At the first connection, the order
suggested is by folder. When connecting

Information and advice

The audio system will only play files with
".mp3", ".wma" and ".wav" extensions on a CD
and can play files with ".ogg" extension only on
USB.

To avoid any playback or display issues, it is
advisable to create file names that have less
than 20 characters and without using any
special characters (e.g. «?.; ù).

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or
CDRW, it is preferable to select the ISO 9660
level 1, 2 or Joliet standard when recording the
CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may
not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording
standard is always used for a given 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.

The playlists accepted on CD, MP3, iPod and
USB connection are types ".m3u" and ".wpl".
The system can recognise up to 5,000 files in
500 folders on 8 levels.

On a single disc, 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 the number of levels is
limited to 2 so as to reduce the time taken to
access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not observed during
playback.

Do not connect a hard disk or USB device other
than audio players to the USB port. This may
cause damage to your installation.

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

It is recommended that you use genuine
Apple

USB cables for correct operation.

Frequently asked
questions

The following information groups together the
answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning your audio system.

Audio system / Bluetooth

QUESTION

RESPONSE

SOLUTION

There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.).

For optimum sound quality, the audio settings
(volume, bass, treble, ambience, loudness)
can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when
changing source (radio, CD, etc.).

Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, loudness) are adapted to
the sources being listened to. It is advisable to
set the AUDIO functions (bass, treble, front-
rear balance, left-right balance) to the middle
position, select the musical ambience and set
the loudness correction to the "Active" position
in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.

When changing the settings for treble and bass,
the ambience setting is deselected.
When changing the ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero.

Choosing an ambience imposes settings for
treble and bass. Modifying one without the other
is only possible with a personalised ambience.

Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.

When changing the balance setting, distribution
is deselected.

Choosing the "driver" distribution setting
imposes a balance setting.

Modify the balance or distribution settings to
obtain the desired sound quality.

The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed,
etc.).

The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.

Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.

The surroundings (hills, buildings, tunnels,
underground parking, etc.) are blocking
reception, including in RDS tracking mode.

This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.

The aerial is missing or has been damaged (for
example when going through a car wash or into
an underground car park).

Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Audio system / Bluetooth

Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode.

During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS
searches for any frequency permitting better
reception of the station.

Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon
is too frequent and always on the same route.

Traffic announcement TA is displayed. I do not
receive any traffic information.

The radio station does not broadcast traffic
information.

supply greater than is provided by the audio
system.

Connect the peripheral to the 230 V socket, the
12 V socket or an external power supply.
Caution: ensure that the device does not
transmit a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of
destruction of the system).

played.

In "Random all" play, the system can only take
into account up to 999 tracks.

With the engine off, the audio system switches
off after a few minutes of use.

When the engine is switched off, the audio
system operating time depends on the battery
charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system
switches to economy mode and switches off to
prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.

Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the battery
charge.

The message "the audio system is overheated"
appears on the display.

In order to protect the installation if the
surrounding temperature is too high, the audio
system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction of the
volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.

Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
