If a metal object makes a contact between the two battery terminals or between the battery + and the bodywork, this causes a short-circuit (risk of fi r e a n d s e r i o u s b u r n s ) .
The battery releases minute quantities of hydrogen, a gas which is explosive under certain conditions. Never use a fl a m e o r c r e a t e s p a r k s c l o s e t o the battery.
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is highly corrosive:
When handling batteries, al-ways protect your face and especially your eyes.
In the event of any contact with the skin, rinse immedi-ately with copious amounts of fresh water.Refer to a CITROËN dealer for battery replacements.

RADIO SOURCE
Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems.The reception of AM and FM signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does n o t r e fl e c t o n t h e q u a l i t y o f y o u r r a d i o installation.In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the s t a t i o n t r a n s m i t t e r , t h e r e fl e c t i n g o f signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go t h r o u g h t h e m e m o r y b a n k s F M 1 , F M 2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual seearch is via buttons Jor M.By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity:- To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode "DX".
S e a r c h f o r a s t a t i o n i s d o n e fi r s t i n "LO" (local) sensitivity, then in "DX" (distant) sensitivity.To commence a search in sensitivity "DX" (distant) immediately, press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the buttons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop a t t h e fi r s t s t a t i o n i t fi n d s o n c e t h e button is released.You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel.If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak reception), it is p o s s i b l e t o s e a r c h m a n u a l l y t o fi n d this station.
Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling
B r i e fl y p r e s s o n b u t t o n G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or Mand validate using button L.

Automatic memorisation of transmitters (Autostore function)
In FM, if you hold down button Efor more than two seconds, your radio will automatically memorise the 6 strongest stations on the FM3 memory bank.The display shows "FM AST".The radio memorises the 6 strongest transmitters, deleting the 6 previously memorised.After the memorisation, the radio goes directly to memory 1 of memory bank FM3.
Note:
- I f t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n f u n c t i o n has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the stations offering this facility will be memorised as priority.
If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will retain the previously memorised stations.
- I f t h e s y s t e m i s u n a b l e t o fi n d 6 s t a t i o n s , t h e u n fi l l e d m e m o r y s l o t s will remain free.
