There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings
(Bass, Treble, Ambience, loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which mayresult in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).
Check that the audio settings (Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to adjust audio settings(Bass, Treble, Front-Rear balance, Left-Right balance)
to the middle position, select the musical ambience
and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position
in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When chan
ging 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. Modifyingone without the other is only possible with a personalised ambience. Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
The qualit
y of receptionof the radio station
listened to graduallydeteriorates 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 travellin
g.
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 dama
ged (for example when goingthrough 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. The
following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

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 deviceis not recognised whenconnecting to the USBport. Some hard disks and devices need a power suppl
y 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 streamin
g, the sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le to
improve streaming.

audio system switches off after a few minutes of use. When the en
gine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio s
ystem switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.

The message "the audio system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation i
f 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.

If it was not possible to fi nd six stations the remaining memories remain empty: three dashes are displayed on the audio system screen for each empty memory.
RECALLING PRESET STATIONS
On each waveband, a brief press on one of the buttons "1"
to "6"
recalls the corresponding preset station.

RADIO RECEPTION
Your audio system will be subjected to phenomena which do not
affect domestic radio sets. Both MW/LW and FM reception are
subject to various forms of interference. This is no refl ection on the quality of the system but is due to the nature of the signals and the
way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result of increasing distance from
the transmitter, defl ection of the signal by obstacles (mountains,
hills, buildings, etc) or of being in an area which is not covered by a
transmitter.
