Some

The

The

of

and
 
the

are

displayed

 
on
 
the
 
screen
 
when

audio.
The

allow
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
this
 
information.
Radio
The
 
quality
 
of
 
reception
 
of

 
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
 
by
 
means
 
of
 
the
 
short-cut

 
menu
 
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

 
fault
 
with
 
the
 
audio
 
system.
The
 
aerial
 
is
 
absent
 
or
 
has
 
been
 
damaged
 
(for
 
example
 
when
 
going
 
through

 
a
 
car
 
wash
 
or
 
into
 
an
 
underground
 
car
 
park).
Have
 
the
 
aerial
 
checked
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer.
I
 
cannot
 
find
 
some
 
radio
 
stations in the list of
stations

 
received.
The
 
station
 
is
 
not
 
received
 
or
 
its
 
name
 
has
 
changed
 
in
 
the
 
list.
Some
 
radio
 
stations
 
send
 
other
 
information
 
in
 
place
 
of
 
their
 
name
 
(the
 
title

 
of
 
the
 
song
 
for
 
example).
The
 
system
 
interprets
 
this
 
information
 
as
 
the
 
name
 
of
 
the
 
station.
The
 
name
 
of
 
the
 
radio
 
station

 
changes.

Settings, configuration
In   changing   the   setting  
of

  treble   and   bass   the  
equalizer

  setting   is  
deselected.
The
  selection   of   an   equalizer   setting   imposes   the   balance   settings.
Modifying   one   without   the   other   is   not   possible.
Modify   the   balance   or   equalizer   settings   to   obtain  
the

  desired   musical   ambience.
In   changing   the   equalizer  
setting,

  treble   and   bass  
return

  to   zero.
When   changing   the  
balance

  settings,   the  
distribution

  setting   is  
deselected.
The
  selection   of   a   distribution   setting   imposes   the   balance   settings.
Modifying   one   without   the   other   is   not   possible.
Modify   the   balance   or   distribution   settings   to  
obtain

  the   desired   musical   ambience.
When   changing   an  
distribution

  setting,  
the

  balance   setting   is  
deselected.
There

  is   a   difference   in  
sound

  quality   between  
the

  different   audio  
sources

  (radio,   CD...).
For   optimum   sound   quality,   the   audio   settings   for   Volume,   Bass,  
T
reble,  
Equalizer

  and   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   for   (Volume,   Bass,  
T

reble,   Equalizer,   Loudness)   are   adapted   to  
the

  sources   listened   to.   It   is   advisable   to   set   the  
AUDIO

  functions   (Bass,  
T
reble,   Fr-Re   balance,  
Le-Ri

  balance)   to   the   middle   position,   select   the  
"None",

  musical   ambience   and   set   the   loudness  
correction

  to   the   "Active"   position   in   CD   mode   or  
to

  the   "Inactive"   position   in   radio   mode.

With
 
the
 
engine
 
off,
 
the
 
system

 
switches
 
off
 
after
 
a

 
few
 
minutes
 
of
 
use.
When
 
the
 
engine
 
is
 
switched
 
off,
 
the
 
system's
 
operating
 
time
 
depends
 
on
 
the

 
battery
 
charge.
The
 
switch-off
 
is
 
normal:
 
the
 
system
 
switches
 
to
 
economy
 
mode
 
and
 
switches

 
off
 
to
 
prevent
 
discharging
 
of
 
the
 
vehicle's
 
battery.

the
 
vehicle's
 
engine
