Radio
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

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 by means of the
short-cut menu 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 fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received. The station is not received or its name has changed in the list. Press on the "Update list" function in the system
to update the list of stations received.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name
(the title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.
The name of the radio
station changes.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down
access to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the
catalogue time).
Delete the files supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the file
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my iPhone
as telephone and to the
USB port at the same time,
I am unable to play the
music files. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces
the streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of
the USB function which is then not useable, there is a period without
sound of the track being played with Apple
® players.
Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port (the
USB function takes priority over streaming).
Some characters in the
media information are not
displayed correctly while
playing. The audio system does not display some types of characters.
Use standard characters to name tracks and
folders.
Playing of streaming files
does not start. The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play. Start the playback from the device.
The names of tracks and
the track length are not
displayed on the screen
when streaming audio. The Bluetooth profile does not allow the transfer of this information.

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:, Ambience 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:, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the audio
functions (Bass:, Treble:, Balance) to the middle
position, select the "None" musical ambience
and set the loudness correction 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
I cannot connect my
Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the
telephone may not be visible. Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is
switched on.
Check in the telephone settings that it is " Visible
to all ".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. You can check the compatibility of your telephone
at www.citroen.co.uk (services).
The volume of the
telephone connected
in Bluetooth mode is
inaudible. The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an influence on the quality of telephone
communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down...).
Some contacts are
duplicated in the list. The options for synchronizing contacts are synchronizing the
contacts on the SIM card, the contacts on the telephone, or both.
When both synchronizations are selected, some contacts may be
duplicated. Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display
telephone contacts".
Contacts are not shown in
alphabetical order. Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings
chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order. Modify the display setting in the telephone
di r e c to r y.
The system does not receive
SMS text messages. The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to
the system.
