Frequently asked questions

The different functions and settings
described vary according to the version
and configuration of your vehicle.

As a safety measure and because it
requires sustained attention by the
driver, the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system must be
done with the vehicle stationary and the
ignition on.

The system is protected in such a way that
it will only operate in your vehicle.
The display of the Energy Economy
Mode message signals that a change to
standby is imminent.

The link below gives access to OSS (Open
