There
 
is   a   difference   in  
sound

 
quality   between  
the

 
different   audio  
sources

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

reble,  
Ambience,
  Loudness)   are   adapted   to  
the

  sources   listened   to.   It   is   advisable   to   set  
the

 
AUDIO
  functions   (Bass,  
T
reble,   Front-Rear  
Fader

,   Left-Right   Balance)   to   the   middle   position,  
select

  the   musical   ambience   "None"   and   set   the  
loudness

  correction   to   the   "Active"   position   in   CD  
mode

  or   to   the   "Inactive"   position   in   radio   mode.
When
 
changing   the  
settings

  for   treble   and  
bass,

 
the   ambience  
setting

  is   deselected.
When
 
changing   the  
ambience

  setting,   treble  
and

 
bass   are   reset   to  
zero. Choosing

  an   ambience   imposes   settings   for   treble   and   bass.   Modifying  
one

  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.

FREqUENTLY ASKED q UESTIONS
qUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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   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   damaged   (for   example   when   going  
through

  an   automatic   car   wash   or   in   an   underground   car   park).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   another   frequency  
giving

  better   reception   of   the   station.Deactivate
  the   RDS   function   if   the   phenomenon   is  
too

  frequent   and   always   on   the   same   route.
The
 
traffic   announcement  
(T

A)
 
is
  displayed.   I   do  
not

 
receive   any   traffic  
information. The

  radio   station   does   not   broadcast   traffic   information.Tune
  to   a   radio   station   which   broadcasts   traffic  
information.
The

 
stored   stations   are  
not

 
found   (no   sound,  

87.5

 
MHz   is   displayed...). An
  incorrect   waveband   is   selected. Press
  the   BAND   button   to   return   to   the   waveband  
on

  which   the   stations   are   stored.

The

a
pple
® player is
not
 
recognised   when  
connecting

  to   the   USB  
port. The

a pple® player is of a generation that is not compatible with a USB connection. Connect
the a pple® player to the AUX  Jack   socket  using
 
a
 
suitable
 
cable   (not   supplied).
The
 
hard
 
disk
 
or
 
device
 
is

 
not
 
recognised
 
when
 
connecting

 
to
 
the

and
 
devices
 
need
 
a
 
power
 
supply
 
greater
 
than
 
is
 
provided

 
by
 
the
 
audio
 
system. Connect
 
the
 
device
  to   the   230   V   socket,   the   12   V  
socket

 
or
 
an
 
external   power   supply.
Caution:
 
ensure
 
that   the   device   does   not   transmit  
a

 
voltage
 
greater
 
than   5   V   (risk   of   destruction   of  
the

 
system).
When
 
streaming,
 
the
 
sound

 
cuts
 
momentarily. Some
 
telephones
 
prioritise
 
connection
 
of
 
the
 
"hands-free"
 
profile. Delete
 
the
 
"hands-free"   connection   profile   to  
improve

 
streaming.
In

not

 
all

With
 
the   engine   off,   the  
audio

 
system   switches  
of

f
 
after   a   few   minutes  
of

 
use. When
  the   engine   is   switched   off,   the   audio   system   operating   time  
depends

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

  switches   off   to   prevent   discharging   the   vehicle's   battery.Start
  the   vehicle's   engine   to   increase   the   battery  
charge.
The

 
message   "the   audio  
system

  is   overheated"  
appears

  on   the   display. In
  order   to   protect   the   installation   if   the   surrounding   temperature   is   too  
high,

  the   audio   system   switches   to   an   automatic   thermal   protection   mode  
leading

  to   a   reduction   of   the   volume   or   stopping   of   the   playing   of   the   CD.Switch
  the   audio   system   off   for   a   few   minutes   to  
allow

  the   system   to   cool.
