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.

ANSWER SOLUTION
With the engine off, the
audio system switches
off after a few minutes
of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode
leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.

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.
