11DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting) radio
Terrestrial Digital Radio
Digital radio provides higher quality
sound.
The different "multiplexes/ensembles"
offer a choice of radio stations arranged in
alphabetical order.
Press Radio Media to display the primary
page.
Press "Band…" at the top right of the screen to
display the " DAB" waveband.
DAB-FM tracking
"DAB" does not cover 100 % of the
territory .
When the digital radio signal is poor,
"DAB-FM auto tracking" allows you to
continue listening to the same station, by
automatically switching to the corresponding
FM analogue station (if there is one).
Press Radio Media to display the primary
page.
Press the "OPTIONS " button to go to the
secondary page.
Select "Radio settings".
Select "General".
Activate/deactivate "FM-DAB tracking".
Activate/deactivate "Station tracking".
Press "OK".
If "DAB-FM auto tracking" is activated,
there may be a difference of a few
seconds when the system switches to "FM"
analogue radio with sometimes a variation in
volume.
Once the digital signal quality is restored, the
system automatically changes back to "DAB".
If the "DAB" station being listened to is
not available on FM (" DAB-FM" option
greyed out), or "DAB-FM auto tracking" is not
activated, the sound will cut out while the
digital signal is too weak.
Media
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick into the USB
port or connect the USB device to the
USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub. The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
Playlists are updated whenever the ignition
is switched off or a USB memory stick is
connected. The audio system memorises these
lists, which will subsequently load faster if they
have not been changed.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Depending on equipmentConnect a portable device (MP3 player,
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an
audio cable (not supplied).
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been selected in the audio settings.
First adjust the volume on the portable device
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of the
audio system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.
CD player
Depending on equipment
Insert the CD in the player.
Selecting the source
Press Radio Media to display the primary
page.
Select "Source".
Choose the source.

162
CITROËN Connect Nav
Watching a video
Insert a USB memory stick in the USB socket.

only through the touch screen.
Press Radio Media to display the primary
page.
Select "Sources".
Select Video to start the video.
To remove the USB memory stick, press the pause button to stop the video, then
remove the memory stick.
Bluetooth® audio streaming
Streaming allows you to listen to music from your
smartphone.
The Bluetooth profile must be activated; first
adjust the volume on the portable device (to a
high level).
Then adjust the volume of the audio system.
If play does not start automatically, it may be
necessary to start the audio playback from the
telephone.
Control is from the portable device or by using
the system's touch buttons.
Once connected in streaming mode, the
telephone is considered to be a media
source.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect the Apple® player to the USB port using
a suitable cable (not supplied).
Play starts automatically.
Control is via the audio system.
The classifications available are those of the portable device connected (artists/
albums/genres/playlists/audio books/
podcasts).
The default classification used is by artist. To
modify the classification used, return to the
first level of the menu then select the desired
classification (playlists for example) and
confirm to go down through the menu to the
desired track.
The version of software in the audio system may
not be compatible with the generation of the
Apple
® player.
Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage devices, BlackBerry® devices or Apple®
players via the USB sockets. The adapter
cable is not supplied.
Device management is via the audio system
controls.
Other devices, not recognised on connection,
must be connected to the auxiliary socket
using a Jack cable (not supplied) or
via Bluetooth streaming, depending on
compatibility.
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wma", ".aac", ".flac", ".ogg" and ".mp3" file
extensions and with a bit rate of between 32
Kbps and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.
Files of the ".wma" type should be to the wma 9
standard.
The sampling rates supported are 32, 44 and
48 kHz.
It is recommended that file names are less
than 20 characters long and do not contain any
special characters (e.g. « »
? . ; ù) so as to avoid
any reading or display problems.
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format
(File Allocation Table).
It is recommended that the original USB
cable for the portable device be used.
CD player (depending on equipment).
In order to be able to play a burned CDR or
CDRW, select standards ISO 9660 level 1, 2, or
Joliet, if possible, when burning the CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may not
be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning
standard be always used on an individual disc,
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum) for
the best acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the
Joliet standard is recommended.
Telephone

satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of
reception of the GPS signal may vary.
This behaviour is normal. The system is
dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.
My navigation is no longer connected.
During start-up and in certain geographical
areas, the connection may be unavailable.
►

Check that the online services are activated
(settings, contract).
Radio
