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
assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover
100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.

The distribution (or spatialisation using the Arkamys© system),©
is an audio process which allows the sound quality to be improved
according to the setting chosen, corresponding to the position of the
listeners in the vehicle.
AUDIO SETTINGS
Select and confi rm " Other settings…"
to display the next setting in the list. The Ambience, Treble and Bass audio settin
gs are different andindependent for each sound source.
Arkamys©: in a vehicle, the sound quality suffers from the physicalconstraints imposed by the safety standards and the requirement
to optimise the space available in the passenger compartment. Speakers are fi tted in the doors, which can result for the driver and passenger in the sound being too one-sided, either "all on the right"or "all on the left".
The Arkam
ys© software installed in your audio system processes©
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, ...) and recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement
of instruments and voices in the space facing passengers, at the height of the windscreen.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings
(Volume, Bass, Treble,
Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio,
CD...).
Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set theloudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When chan
ging the settings for treble andbass, the ambience setting is deselected.

When changing the
ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero.Choosin
g an ambience imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifyingone without the other is not possible. Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound quality.

When changing the balance setting, distribution is deselected.
Choosing a distribution setting imposes a balance setting. Modifying one
without the other is not possible. Modify the balance setting or the distribution setting to obtain the desired sound quality. The
following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The quality of receptionof 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 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 to2 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.
Th
e traffi c announcement(TA) is displayed. I donot receive any traffi c
information.Th
e radio station does not broadcast traffi c information. Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c
information.

The stored stations arenot found (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed...).
An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband on which the stations are stored.
