Certain   traffic   jams  
along

 
the   route   are   not  
indicated

  in   real   time. On
  starting,   it   is   several   minutes   before   the   system   begins   to   receive   the  
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.
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   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.You
  can   check   the   compatibility   of   your   telephone  
on

  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,   ...).

Some
 
contacts   are  
duplicated

  in   the   list. The
  options   for   synchronizing   contacts   are   synchronizing   the   contacts  
on

  the   SIM   card,   the   contacts   on   the   telephone,   or   both.   When   both  
synchronizations

  are   selected,   some   contacts   may   be   duplicated.Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display

Check
  the   condition   of   the   CD:   the   CD   cannot  
be

The audio system's CD player does not play DVDs.
- Some  recorded   CDs   will   not   be   played   by  the
  audio   system   because   they   are   not   of   the  
correct

  quality.
The

has
 
been
 
recorded
 
in
 
a
 
format
 
that
 
is
 
not

system.
There is a long waiting period
  following   the   insertion of a CD or connection of a


USB
  memory   stick.When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data  (directory,   title,   artist,   etc.).  This   may   take   from   a   few   seconds   to   a  
few

  minutes. This
  phenomenon   is   normal.
The CD player sound is
poor. The
  CD   used   is   scratched   or   of   poor   quality. Insert
  good   quality   CDs   and   store   them   in   suitable  
conditions.
The

  audio   equipment   settings   (bass,   treble,   ambiences)   are   unsuitable. Set   the   treble   or   bass   level   to   0,   without   selecting  
an

  ambience.

Some
 
characters   in   the  
media

 
information   are   not  
displayed correctly while
playing. The

  audio   system   does   not   display   some   types   of   characters.Use
  standard   characters   to   name   tracks   and  
folders.
Playing

  of   streaming   files  
does

 
not   start. The
  peripheral   device   connected   does   not   support   automatic   play. Start   the   playback   from   the   device.
The
 
names   of   tracks   and  
the

 
track   length   are   not  
displayed on the screen
when

 
streaming   audio. The
  Bluetooth   profile   does   not   allow   the   transfer   of   this   information.
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

The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio  Layer   3,
is   an   audio   compression   standard   which   permits   the   recording   of  
several

  tens   of   music   files   on   a   single   disc.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when
recording,
  the   ISO   9660   level   1.2   or   Joliet   file   format   is  
recommended.
If

  the   disc   is   recorded   in   another   format,   it   may   not   be   played  
correctly

.
It
  is   recommended   that   the   same   recording   format   is   always  
used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible
(4x

  maximum)   for   optimum   sound   quality.
In
  the   particular   case   of   a   multi-session   CD,   the   Joliet   format   is  
recommended.
The

  audio   system   will   only   play   files   with   the   extension   ".mp3"   with  
a

  sampling   rate   of   22.05   KHz   or   44.1   KHz.   No   other   type   of   file  
(.wma,

  .mp4,   .m3u...)   can   be   played.
It
  is   advisable   to   restrict   file   names   to   20   characters   without   using  
special

  characters   (e.g.   "   ?   ;   ù)   to   avoid   any   playing   or   displaying  
problems.
