the battery, the system switches off after activation of energy
economy mode.

After a battery disconnection, a code has to be entered for
operation of the audio system.
A maximum of five attempts are possible. For the last two attempts,
a 15 minutes wait is imposed between each attempt.

Receiving TA messages

RDS

Displaying "RADIO TEXT"

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 automatically to play
the TA message. Normal playback of
the audio source resumes at the end of
the transmission of the message.

RDS, if activated, enables 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 country as radio stations
do not cover 100 % of the territory. This
explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey.

"RADIO TEXT" is information
transmitted by the radio station related
to the current programme or song.

time can be 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 there is no
change in the lists, the next loading
time will be shorter.

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

It is recommended that file names be of no
more than 20 characters and avoiding special
characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) so as to avoid any
problem reading or displaying the files.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or
CDRW, 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 recommended.

Information and advice

The playlists accepted on CD, MP3, iPod and
USB connection are types ".m3u" and ".wpl".
The number of files recognised is limited to
5,000 in 500 folders on a maximum of 8 levels.

Audio and Telematics

C-Zero_en_Chap10a_RDE2_ed01-2016

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

The use of genuine Apple

USB cables

is recommended to ensure correct
operation.

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 this be kept to 2 levels so
as to limit the time taken to access and play
the CD.
During play, the folder structure is not
observed.

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

To protect the system, do not use a
USB hub.
