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   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

  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
telephone
  contacts".
Contacts are not shown
in
 
alphabetical   order. Some
  telephones   offer   display   options.   Depending   on   the   settings  
chosen,

  contacts   can   be   transferred   in   a   specific   order.Modify
  the   display   setting   in   the   telephone  
directory

.
The system does  not  receive SMS
  text   messages.The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to the system.
The
 
CD
 
is
 
ejected
 
automatically

 
or
 
is
 
not
 
played

 
by
 
the
 
player. The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any
audio
  data   or   contains   an   audio   format   which   the   player   cannot   play.-
 
Check
  that   the   CD   is   inserted   in   the   player   the  
right

  way   up.
-
 
Check
  the   condition   of   the   CD:   the   CD   cannot  
be

  played   if   it   is   too   damaged.
-
 
Check
  the   content   in   the   case   of   a   recorded  
CD:

  refer   to   the   information   and   advice   in   the  
"MUSIC

  MEDIA
 
PLAYERS"   section.
-

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
 
CD
 
has
 
been
 
recorded
 
in
 
a
 
format
 
that
 
is
 
not
 
compatible
 
with
 
the
 
player

 
(udf, ...).
The
 
CD
 
is
 
protected
 
by
 
an
 
anti-pirating
 
protection
 
system
 
which
 
is
 
not
 recognised
 
by
 
the
 
audio
 
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.

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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

  changes.

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.

There is a dif

ference 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 dif

ferent 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  
a
UDI o functions ( b ass, Treble, 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.Start
  the   vehicle's   engine   to   increase   the   battery  
charge.
Playback

  of   my   USB  
memory

  stick   starts   only  
after

 
a
  very   long   wait  
(around

  2   to   3   minutes). Some
  files   supplied   with   the   memory   stick   may   greatly   slow   down   access  
to

  reading   the   memory   stick   (multiplication   by   10   of   the   catalogue   time).Delete
  the   files   supplied   with   the   memory   stick  
and

  limit   the   number   of   sub-folders   in   the   file  
structure

  on   the   memory   stick.
When
 
I   connect   my  
iPhone as telephone and
to the US

b port at the
same
 
time,   I   am   unable  
to

 
play
  the   music   files.When
  the   iPhone   connects   automatically   as   a   telephone,   it   forces   the  
streaming

  function.  
The
  streaming   function   takes   the   place   of   the   USB  
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of t\
he
track

  being   played   with  
Apple® players. Disconnect and reconnect to the US b port (the
USB   function   takes   priority   over   streaming).
