Selecting a station

Radio reception may be affected by
the use of electrical equipment not
approved by CITROËN, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12 V socket.
The exterior environment (hills,
buildings, tunnel, car park, below
ground...) may prevent reception,
even in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and is in no
way indicative of a fault with the audio
system.

Recall pre-set stations

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

DAB / FM auto tracking

Digital radio

"DAB" does not cover 100% of the
territory.
When the digital radio signal is poor,
"DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you to
continue listening to the same station,
by automatically switching to the
corresponding "FM" analogue station
(if there is one).

If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is activated,
there is a difference of a few seconds
when the system switches to "FM"
analogue radio with sometimes a
variation in volume.
When the digital signal is restored,
the system automatically changes back
to "DAB".

Digital radio provides higher quality
reception and also the graphical display
of current information on the radio
station being listened to. Select "List" in
the primary page.
The range of multiplexes available is
displayed in alphabetical order.

If the "DAB" station being listened to
is not available on "FM" ("DAB/FM"
option greyed out), or "DAB / FM auto
tracking" is not activated, the sound
will cut out while the digital signal is too
weak.

Select "Radio list" in the secondary

ignition is switched off or connection of a USB
memory stick. The lists are memorised: if they

will be shorter.
