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. Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block
reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). 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.
Traffi c announcement
TA is displayed. I do
not receive any traffi c
information. The radio station does not broadcast traffi c information. Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c
information.
The stored stations are
not found (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the SRC/TEL button to return to the
waveband (FM1 or FM2) on which the stations are
stored.

ANSWER
SOLUTION
An iPod is not recognised
when connecting to the
USB port. The iPod is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB.
The hard disk or device
is not recognised when
connecting to the USB
port. Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is
provided by the audio system. Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V
socket or an external power supply.
Caution
: ensure that the device does not transmit
a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of
the system).
When streaming, the
sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le to
improve streaming.
In "Random all" play,
not all of the tracks are
played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to
999 tracks.
With the engine off,
the audio system
switches off after a few
minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging 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. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode
leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
