FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The following table groups together the answers to the most frequently a\
sked questions concerning your audio system.
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The route calculation is not successful. The guidance criteria may confl ict with the current location (exclusion of toll roads on a toll motorway). Check the guidance criteria on the Navigation Menu, "Guidance options"\ "Defi ne calculation criteria".
I am unable to enter my post code. The system only accepts post codes of up to 5 characters.
The POIs do not appear. The POIs have not been selected. Select the POIs in the list of POIs.
The risk areas audible warning does not work. The audible warning is not active. Activate audible warnings in the Guidance options menu, "Navigation - guidance", "Set parameters for risk areas".
The system does not suggest a detour around an incident on the route.
The guidance criteria do not take account of TMC messages. Select the "Traffi c info" function in the list of guidance criteria.
I receive a Risk area alert which is not on my route. Other than guidance, the system announces all Risk areas positioned in a\
cone located in front of the vehicle. It may provide an alert for a Risk\
area located on nearby or parallel roads.
Zoom in on the map to view the exact position of the Risk area. Select "On the route" to no longer receive alerts other than guidance or to reduce the time for the announcement.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
Certain traffi c jams along the route are not indicated in real time.
On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive t\
he traffi c information. Wait until the traffi c information is being received correctly (display of the traffi c information icons on the map).
The fi lters are too restrictive. Modify the "Geographic fi lter" settings.
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for \
the traffi c information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the traffi c information available.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to receive 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 SETUP button, then select "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 is dependent on the GPS signal reception conditions.
I am unable to connect my Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone may not be visible. - Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is switched on.
- Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. You can check the compatibility of your telephone on www.citroen.co.uk (services)
The volume of the telephone connected in Bluetooth mode is inaudible.
The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system, to maximum if required, and increase the volume of the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an infl uence on the quality of telephone communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).
