USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a
portable device, such as a digital audio player
of the iPod
® type or a USB memory stick.
The USB player reads your audio files, which
are transmitted to your audio system and
played via the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the
steering mounted controls or the audio system.
USB Player
When connected to the USB port, the
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the
portable device exceeds the current
delivered by the vehicle.
Jack auxiliary socket
The Jack auxiliary socket allows the connection
of a portable device, such as a digital audio
player, so that your audio files can be heard
through the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the
portable device. The USB also allows a telephone to be
connected by a MirrorLink™ connection, so
that use can be made in the touch screen tablet
of certain applications on the telephone.
The connection of an electrical device
not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor telephone
reception or inter ference with displays
in the screens.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
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 a telephone and to
the USB 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 the track being played with Apple
® players.
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port
(the
USB function takes priority over streaming).
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.

heck the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too damaged.
-

C

S
ome 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.
