2010 Citroen C4 Owner's Manual

SOLUTION ANSWER
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 th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple 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 equipme nt 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 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.

QUESTION SOLUTION ANSWER
The TA box is ticked. However, certain traffi c jams along the route are not indicated in real time.
On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the traffi c information. Wait until the traffi c information is being received correctly (displaying of the traffi c information symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways ...) are listed for the traffi c information.
The time taken to calculate a route sometimes seems longer than usual.
This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the traffi c information available.
The performance of the system may slow down tempor arily if a CD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is being calculated.
Wait until the CD has been copied or stop the copying before starting the guidance function.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to receive more than 3 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely. Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least 3 satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then select GPS coverage).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel. ..) or the weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the conditions of reception of the GPS signal.
The route is not calculated successfully. The exclusion criteria may confl ict with the current location (exclusion of toll roads on a motorway with tolls). Check the exclusion criteria.
I receive a speed camera alert for a camera which is not on my route.
The audible speed camera alert is not working.
The system announces all speed cameras located in a conical zone forward of the vehicle. It may detect speed cameras on nearby or parallel roads.
Audible alerts are not active.
The alert volume level is set to minimum.
Zoom the map to view the exact position of the speed camera.
Activate audible alerts in Navigation Menu, Settings, Set parameters for risk areas.
Increase the speed camera alert volume.

There is a long waiting time after inserting a CD. When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take a few seconds. This phenomenon is normal.
I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone.
A telephone connected by Bluetooth is inaudible.
The telephone's Bluetooth function may be deactiva ted or the equipment may not be visible.
The volume level depends on both the system and th e telephone.
- Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is activated. - Check that your telephone is visible.
Increase the MyWay volume setting, possibly to maximum, and increase the telephone volume level if necessary.

The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks) may block reception, includi ng 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 freque ncies. 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.
