The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) blockreception, including in RDS mode.

The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
This phenomenon is normal and does notindicate 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 fewminutes of use.

When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating timedepends 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.
The stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz isdisplayed...)
.
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.

FM WAVEBAND PREFERENCES
ACTIVATE FREQUENCY FOLLOWING (RDS)

The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks) may block reception, including in RDS mode. This is a normal effect of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does notindicate any failure of the audio equipment.
RDS
The RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the samestation by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assuredthroughout the country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.
