2014 Citroen DS4 Settings

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to the
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
Audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the
"Linear", 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 state of charge of the battery.
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.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound
sources, which may result in audible differences when changing
source (radio, CD...). Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position,
select the musical ambience "None" and set the
loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD
mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
If the bass and treble
settings are modified,
the ambience selected is
cancelled. The selection of an ambience imposes specific bass and treble
settings.
To obtain the desired sound quality, modify the
treble and bass settings or select a pre-defined
ambience setting.
If the ambience setting
is changed, the previous
settings for treble and
bass are cancelled.
If the "Driver" / "All
passengers" distribution
is modified, the balance
settings are cancelled. Choosing a distribution setting imposes a specific balance setting.
Modifying one without the other is not possible.
Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
When changing the
balance setting, the
"Driver" / "All passengers"
distribution is cancelled.
