FREQUENTLY ASKEd QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

There is a difference in 

sound quality between

the different audio 
sources (radio, CD...).

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...).

Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, 
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to 
the sources 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 "None" and 
set the loudness correction to the "Active" position 
in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio 
mode.

The CD is ejected 
automatically or is not 
played by the player.

The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any 
audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not 

recognised by the audio equipment.

- 

Check that the CD is inserted in the player the 
right way up.

- 

Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot 
be played if it is too damaged.

- 

Check the content in the case of a recorded 
CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.

-  The audio equipment's CD player does not

play DVDs.

-  Due to their quality level, certain writeable

CDs will not be played by the audio system.

The message "USB 
peripheral error" is 
displayed on the screen.
The Bluetooth connection 
is cut.

The battery of the peripheral may not be sufficiently charged.

Recharge the battery of the peripheral device.

The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The memory stick may be corrupt.

Reformat the memory stick.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

I am unable to access my 
voicemail.

Few telephones or service providers allow the use of this function.

The CD player sound is 
poor.

The CD used is scratched or of poor quality.

Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable

conditions.

The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable.

Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting 
an ambience.

The stored stations do 
not function (no sound, 
87.5 Mhz is displayed...).

An incorrect waveband is selected.

Press the BAND AST button to return to the 
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the 
stations are stored.

The traffic announcement

(TA) is displayed. I do 

not receive any traffic

information.

The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information network.

Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic

information.

The quality of reception

of the radio station 
listened to gradually 
deteriorates or the stored 
stations do not function 
(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is 
displayed...).

The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened 
to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the 
vehicle is travelling.

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

The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block 
reception, including in RDS mode.

This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate 

a failure of the audio equipment.

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

Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

FREQUENTLY ASKEd QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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

During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency

giving better reception of the station.

Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is 

too frequent and always on the same route.

With the engine off, 

the audio equipment

switches off after a few 
minutes of use.

When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time

depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode

and switches off to prevent discharging of 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 equipment 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.
