different and independent for each sound source.
The settings for distribution and balance are common to all sources.
The distribution (or spatialisation using the
a
rkamys
© system) of sound
is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.

n-board audio: a rkamys
© 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 by 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
a
rkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, C d , 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Certain traffic jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time.
o
n starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive th\
e
traffic information. Wait until the traffic information is being received
correctly (display of the traffic information icons on
the map).
The filters are too restrictive. Modify the "Geographic filter" settings.
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for the
traffic information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the traffic information available.
The altitude is not
displayed.
o
n 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
b
luetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone
may not be visible. -
Check that your telephone's
b luetooth
function is switched on.
-
Check in the telephone settings that it is
"visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. Y
ou can check the compatibility of your telephone
on www.citroen.co.uk (services)
The volume of the
telephone connected
in
b
luetooth 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 influence on the quality of telephone
communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).
