Bluetooth® audio system

Bluetooth

®

 audio system

 

 

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.

Your audio system is coded in such a 

way that it will only operate in your 

vehicle.

All work on the system must be carried out 

exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop, 

to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or 

mechanical faults.

To avoid discharging the battery, the 

audio system may switch off after a few 

minutes if the engine is not running.

Radio

Selecting a station

The external environment (hills,

momentarily.

RDS

RDS, if displayed, makes it possible to 

continue listening to the same radio 

station using the alternative frequencies 

function. 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.

With the radio displayed on the screen, 

press OK to display the contextual menu.

Select "

Play TA messages

The TA (Traffic Announcement) function 

gives priority to TA alert messages. To

a radio station that carries this type of 

message. When a traffic report is transmitted, 

the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) 

is interrupted automatically to play the TA 

message. Normal play of the media 

previously playing is resumed at the end of 

the message.

Information and advice

The audio system will only play files with 

extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a 

compression rate that is constant or variable 

between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.

File names should have less than 20 

characters, avoiding special characters 

(e.g.: “ ? ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or 

display problems.

Playlists accepted are types .m3u and 

.pls.

The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 500 

directories on a maximum of 8 levels.

On a single disc, the CD player can read 

up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8 

directory levels. However, it is recommended 

that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the 

time taken to access and play the CD.

The folder structure is not observed during 

playback.

In order to be able to play a burned CDR 

or CDRW, select standards ISO 9660 

level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible when burning the 

CD.

If the disc is burned in another format, it may not 

be played correctly.

It is recommended that the same burning 

standard is always used on an individual disc, 

with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum) for 

the best acoustic quality.

In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the 

Joliet standard is recommended.

Do not connect a hard disk or USB 

device other than audio players to the 

USB port. This may cause damage to your 

installation.

Playing a compilation

Insert an MP3 compilation in the CD player or 

connect a memory stick to the USB port, directly 

or via an extension lead.

The system creates playlists (temporary 

memory); this operation can take from a 

few seconds to several minutes.

The playlists are updated every time the 

ignition is switched off or a USB memory stick 

is connected.

Play starts automatically after a certain 

amount of time depending on the capacity of 

the USB memory stick.

Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT 

32 (File Allocation Table).

On first connection, the order suggested is 

by folder. When connecting again, the order 

previously chosen is retained.

To play a disc or memory stick which has 

already been inserted, press the

Onboard audio: Arkamys sound staging

.

With Sound Staging, the driver and the 

passengers are immersed into a "sound 

stage" recreating the natural atmosphere of a 

theatre: truly centre stage in surround sound.

This new sensation is possible thanks to 

the software installed in the radio which 

processes the digital signals of the media 

players (radio, CD, MP3...) without changing 

the setting of the loudspeakers. This 

process takes into account the features of 

110

Bluetooth® audio system

the passenger compartment for optimum 

performance.

The Arkamys

 software installed in your audio 

system processes the digital signals of all 

the media players (radio, CD, MP3...) and 

makes it possible to recreate a natural sound 

setting, with a harmonious placement of the 

instruments and voices in space, facing the 

passengers, positioned at the height of the 

windscreen.

Frequently asked 

questions

The following information groups together the 

answers to the most frequently asked questions 

concerning your audio system.

There is a difference in sound quality 

between the different audio sources (radio, 

CD, etc.).

To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio 

settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, 

Loudness) can be tailored to different sound 

sources, which can generate audible differences 

when changing source (radio, CD, etc.).

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.

When changing the settings for treble and 

bass, the ambience setting is deselected.

When changing the ambience setting, treble 

and bass are reset to zero.

Choosing an ambience imposes settings for 

treble and bass. Modifying one without the other 

is not possible.

Modify the treble and bass settings or the 

ambience setting to obtain the desired sound 

quality.

When changing the balance setting, 

distribution is deselected.

Choosing a distribution setting imposes a 

balance setting. Modifying one without the other 

is not possible.

Modify the balance or distribution settings to 

obtain the desired sound quality.

The reception quality of the tuned radio 

station gradually deteriorates or the stored 

stations are not working (no sound, 87.5 Mhz 

is displayed, etc.).

1.

The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of 

the station or no transmitter is present in the 

geographical area.

Activate the RDS mode and start a new search 

for the station so that the system can check 

whether a stronger transmitter is available in the 

geographic area.

2.

The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, 

basement car parks, etc.) block reception, 

including in RDS tracking mode.

This phenomenon is normal and does not 

indicate a failure of the audio equipment.

3.

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 antenna checked by the network 

CITROËN.

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.

Switch off 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
