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
% o

f the territory. This
explains the loss of reception of the station
during a journey.

The TA (Traffic Announcement)
function gives priority to TA alert

function needs good reception of a
radio station that transmits this type
of message. When a message is

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.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The quality of reception of
the radio station listened
to gradually deteriorates
or the stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5
M

Hz 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 power ful
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
s

econds 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.
