It reads the audio files and sends them to your
audio system to be played through the vehicle's
speakers.
You can manage these files using the audio
system control panel and display them in the
screen.
When the USB port is used, the portable device
charges automatically.

Safety
5General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
Depending on country regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud
flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories:
– The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not approved by CITROËN may
cause excessive current consumption and
faults and failures with the electrical system
of your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer
for information on the range of approved
accessories.
–

As a safety measure, access to the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for
CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops,
equipped with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic
systems that could cause breakdowns or
serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot
be held responsible if this advice is not
followed.
–

Any modification or adaptation not intended
or authorised by CITROËN or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty

.
Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter with an external aerial, you must
without fail contact a CITROËN dealer for
the specification of transmitters which can
be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial
position, specific installation requirements),
in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
Declarations of conformity for radio
equipment
The relevant certificates are available on the
brand website:
http://service.citroen.com/ACddb/
Hazard warning lamps



► Pressing this red button causes all the
direction indicators to flash.
They can work with the ignition switched off.
Automatic operation of hazard warning lamps

automatically when you next accelerate.
They can be switched off by pressing the button.

In the event of a breakdown
8► Push clamp B fully down.
► Lower lever A to lock clamp B.
►

Depending on equipment, lower the plastic
cover on the

(+) terminal.
Do not force the lever when pressing on
it, as if the clamp is not positioned
correctly, locking will then not be possible.
Start the procedure again.
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available
again after a continuous period with the
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which
depends on the exterior temperature and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8
hours).
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, to enable the electronic systems to
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–

Remote control key
.
–

Electric windows.
–


Date and time.
–


Preset radio stations.

towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground, always use an approved towbar;

Bluetooth® audio system
Bluetooth® audio system

As a safety measure and because it requires sustained attention by the driver,
the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile telephone
with the Bluetooth hands-free system of your
audio system must be done with the vehicle
stationary and the ignition on.
Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate in your
vehicle.
All work on the system must be carried out
exclusively by a dealer or qualified workshop,
to avoid any risk of electrocution, fire or
mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few
minutes if the engine is not running.

Radio
Selecting a station
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks,
...) may block reception, including in RDS
mode. This is a normal effect of the way in
which radio waves are transmitted and does
not indicate any failure of the audio
equipment.
Press the SRC/TEL button repeatedly to
select the radio.
Press BAND to select a waveband.
Press LIST to display the list of stations
received, in alphabetical order.
Select the desired radio station by turning
the thumb wheel then confirm by
pressing.

A press changes to the next or previous letter
(e.g. A, B, D, F, G, J, K, ...).
A long press on LIST builds or updates the list of stations; audio reception is cut
momentarily.
RDS
RDS, if displayed, makes it possible to
continue listening to the same radio
station using the alternative frequencies
function. However, in certain conditions,
coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as
radio stations do not cover 100% of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception of
the station during a journey.
With the radio displayed on the screen,
press OK to display the contextual menu.
Select "RDS" and confirm to save.
"RDS" is displayed in the screen.
Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert messages. To
operate, this function needs good reception of
a radio station that carries this type of
message. When a traffic report is transmitted,
the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...)
is interrupted automatically to play the TA
message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end of
the message.
Press TA to activate or deactivate the
reception of traffic messages.
Display TEXT INFO
Text info is information transmitted by the radio station related to the current
programme or song.
