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
Fader, 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.

If the bass and treble
settings are modified,
the ambience selected is
cancelled.

The selection of an ambience imposes specific bass and treble
settings.

To obtain the desired sound quality, modify the
treble and bass settings or select a pre-defined
ambience setting.

If the ambience setting
is changed, the previous
settings for treble and
bass are cancelled.

If the "Driver" / "All
passengers" distribution
is modified, the balance
settings are cancelled.

Choosing a distribution setting imposes a specific balance setting.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.

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

When changing the
balance setting, the
"Driver" / "All passengers"
distribution is cancelled.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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 in an underground car park).

Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.

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.

The traffic announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information.

The radio station does not broadcast traffic information.

Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.

The stored stations are not
found (no sound, 87.5 MHz
is displayed...).

An incorrect waveband is selected.

Press the BAND button to return to the waveband
on which the stations are stored.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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 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 settings (bass, treble, ambience) are unsuitable.

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

I am unable to connect my
Bluetooth telephone.

It is possible that Bluetooth is switched off on the telephone or that
the telephone has not been made not visible.

- Check that your telephone has Bluetooth

switched on.

- Check in the telephone's settings that it is

"Visible to all".

The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system.

You can check the compatibility of your
telephone on www.citroen.co.uk (services).

The Bluetooth connection
is cut.

The battery of the peripheral may not be sufficiently charged.

Recharge the battery of the peripheral device.

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

The message "USB
peripheral error"
or "Peripheral not
recognised" is displayed in
the screen.

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

Reformat the memory stick (FAT32).

A telephone connects
automatically,
disconnecting another
telephone.

Automatic connection overrides manual connection.

Modify the telephone settings to remove
automatic connection.

The Apple

player is

not recognised when
connecting to the USB
port.

The Apple

player is of a generation that is not compatible with a

USB connection.

Connect the Apple

player to the AUX Jack

socket using a suitable cable (not supplied).

The hard disk or device
is not recognised when
connecting to the USB
port.

Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is
provided by the audio system.

Connect the device 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).

When streaming, the
sound cuts momentarily.

Some models of telephone prioritise connection with the "hands-
free" profile.

Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to
improve streaming.

In "Random all" play, not
all of the tracks are played.

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

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

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 state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: energy economy mode is activated
automatically to preserve the state of charge of the vehicle's
battery. (See the "Energy Economy Mode" section).

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.
