RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the same station  by   automatic   retuning   to   alternative   frequencies.   However,  
in

  certain   conditions,   coverage   of   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.

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.

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
