The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert
messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a
radio station transmitting this type of message. When a traffic report
is transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) is
interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback
of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of the
message.

The audio settings ( Ambience, Bass, Treble and Loudness) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settings 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 the number of listeners in the vehicle.
Available only with the 6-speaker configuration. 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 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 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.

ANSWER SOLUTION
Navigation, guidance
The route calculation is
not successful. The guidance criteria may conflict with the current location (exclusion of
toll roads on a toll motorway). Check the guidance criteria on the Navigation
Menu, "Guidance options"\ "Define 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 "Traffic 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.

QUESTION
ANSWER SOLUTION
Certain traffic jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time. On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive t\
he
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. 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.
Telephone, Bluetooth
I cannot 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. Y

ou can check the compatibility of your telephone
at 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 influence on the quality of telephone
communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).
