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.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.

The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or thestored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz isdisplayed...).

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 powerfultransmitter in the geographical area.

The TRAFFIC INFO box is ticked. However, certain traffi c jams along the route are notindicated 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 receivedcorrectly (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 tocalculate a routesometimes seems longer than usual.
This phenomenon is normal. The system isdependent on the traffi c information available.

The performance of the system may slow down temporarily if a CD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as a route is beingcalculated.
Wait until the CD has been copied or stop thecopying before starting the guidance function.
Does the emergency call function work without aSIM card ?

No, European regulations impose the presence of a SIM card in order tomake an emergency call. Insert a valid SIM card in the slot on the system.
My SIM card is not recognised.
The system accepts 3.3V SIM cards, the old 5V and 1.8V SIM cards are not recognised. Contact your telephone operator.
The altitude is notdisplayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes toreceive more than 4 satellites correctly.
Wait until the system has started up completely. Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least 4 satellites (long press on the MENU button, thenselect AUDIO/TELEPHONE DIAGNOSTICS,then 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 isdependent on the conditions of reception of theGPS signal.

QUESTION SOLUTIONRESPONSE
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.
There is a long wait after inserting a CD.
When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data (folder, title, artist, etc.). This may take a few seconds.This phenomenon is normal.

The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3,is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of several tens of music fi les on a single disc.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recordingit is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be playedcorrectly. It is recommended that the same recording standard is always usedfor an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is recommended.

The audio equipment will only play fi les with the extension ".mp3" with a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of fi le (.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.

It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters without usingspecial characters (e.g. " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displayingproblems.
