The audio settings (Equalizer, rBass , Trebleand Loudness ) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settin
gs for distribution and balance are common to all sources.
The distribution
(or spatialisation using the Arkamys©system) of sound is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to thenumber of listeners in the vehicle.

On-board audio: Arkamys©
Sound Staging.©
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an
"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible b
y software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio,CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processing
takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to
produce optimum results.

The Arkamys© 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 in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.

The following table groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning your audio system.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
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 m
ypost code. The system only accepts post codes of up to 5 characters.
The P
OIs do not appear. The POIs have not been selected. Select the POIs in the list of POIs.
Th
e risk areas audiblewarning 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 o
f 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

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 the
traffi c information. Wait until the traffi c information is being received correctly (display of the traffi c information icons on
the map).
Th
e 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.
Th
e altitude is not
displayed. 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 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 receptionconditions.
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 Bluetoothfunction is switched on.

- Check in the telephone settin
gs that it is "visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the s
ystem. You can check the compatibility of your telephone
on www.citroen.co.uk (services) .
Th
e volume of thetelephone connectedin Bluetooth mode isinaudible. The volume depends both on the s
ystem and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system, tomaximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an in
fl uence on the quality of telephone communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).
