an audio process which allows the sound quality to be improved
according to the setting chosen, corresponding to the position of
the listeners in the vehicle.

to display the next setting in the list. The Ambience, Treble and Bass

© 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.

UESTION ANSWER 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.
When changing the
settings for treble and
bass, the ambience
setting is deselected.
When changing the
ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset
to
zero. Choosing an ambience imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifying
one without the other is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.
When changing the
balance setting,
distribution is deselected. Choosing a distribution setting imposes a balance setting. Modifying one
without the other is not possible.
Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.

qUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
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 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 failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through an automatic car wash or in an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2

seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency
giving better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information. The radio station does not broadcast traffic information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are
not found (no sound,
87.5

MHz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the waveband
on which the stations are stored.

212RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the same
station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However
, in
certain conditions, coverage by an RDS station may not be assured
throughout the country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a
journey.
