QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


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.
The 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 BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, DAB * ) on which the
stations are stored.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


The CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any
audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not
recognised by the audio equipment.

- Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.

- Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too damaged.

- Check the content in the case of a recorded
CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.

- The audio equipment's CD player does not
play DVDs.

- Due to their quality level, certain writeable
CDs will not be played by the audio system.
The CD player sound is
poor.

The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable
conditions.
The audio settings (bass, treble, ambience) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting
an ambience.
The Bluetooth connection
is cut. The battery of the peripheral may not be suffi ciently charged. Recharge the battery of the peripheral device.
The message "USB
device error" is displayed
on the screen. The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The memory stick may be corrupt. Reformat the memory stick (FAT 32).

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


A telephone connects
automatically,
disconnecting another
telephone. Automatic connection overrides manual connection. Modify the telephone settings to remove automatic
connection.
An IPod is not recognised
when connecting to the
USB port. The IPod is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB. Connect the IPod to the AUX Jack socket using a
suitable cable (not supplied).
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.
