FM WAVEBAND PREFERENCES

ACTIVATE FREQUENCY FOLLOWING (RDS)

The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks) may block reception, including
in RDS mode. This is a normal effect of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not
indicate any failure of the audio equipment.

RDS

The RDS, if displayed, 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.

PLAYING AN MP3 COMPILATION

7.47

The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3,

is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of

several tens of music fi les on a single disc.

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.

The audio equipment will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3"

with a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of fi le

(.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.

It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without using

special characters (e.g. " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying

problems.

QUESTION

SOLUTION

ANSWER

There is a difference in

sound quality between

the different audio

sources (radio, CD,

CD changer...).

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.

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,

CD changer...).

The CD is ejected

automatically or is not

played by the player.

- 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 inadequate quality, certain recorded

CDs will not be played by the audio system.

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.

7.58

QUESTION

SOLUTION

ANSWER

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 traffi c announcement

(TA) is displayed. I do

not receive any traffi c

information.

Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c

information.

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

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.

The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block

reception, including in RDS mode.

The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going

through a car wash or into an underground car park).

Activate the RDS function to enable the system

to check whether there is a more powerful

transmitter in the geographical area.

This phenomenon is normal and does not

indicate a failure of the audio equipment.

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 any frequency

permitting 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.

Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to

allow the system to cool.

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.
