AUDIO EQUIPMENT Notes on radio
reception
Your audio equipment will be sub-
jected to phenomena which do not
affect domestic radio sets. Both MW/
LW and FM reception are subject to
various forms of interference. This
is no refl ection on the quality of the
equipment but is due to the nature of
the signals and the way in which they
are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be
noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the
result of increasing distance from the
transmitter, defl ection of the signal by
obstacles (mountains, hills, buildings,
etc) or of being in an area which is
not covered by a transmitter.
Automatic storing of FM
stations (autostore)
Press this button.
Your audio equipment
automatically stores
the six best transmit-
ters received on AM and FM in your
current location. These stations are
stored on the AM and FM3 wave-
bands. The end of the search is sig-
nalled by two audible signals. Recalling stored stations
On each waveband, a brief press on
one of the buttons
"1" to "6" recalls
the corresponding stored station.
If it was not possible to fi nd six
transmitters, the remaining
memories remain empty:
three dashes are displayed
on the audio equipment screen for
each empty memory.

AUDIO EQUIPMENT
Regional mode (REG)
Some stations, organised in a
network, broadcast regional pro-
grammes in the various regions
which they serve. The regional mode
enables you to continue listening to
the same programme. Search by type of programme
(PTY)
This enables you to listen to sta-
tions which broadcast a type of pro-
gramme which has a theme (NEWS,
SPORTS, TALK, POP, CLASSICS).
EON system
This system links stations which be-
long to the same network. It permits
the transmission of traffi c information
broadcast by a station which belongs
to the same network as the station to
which you are listening.
In order to benefi t from this, select the
traffi c information programme
TA .
Using the AF (alternative
frequency) function on
the FM waveband
The
RDS (Radio Data System) ena-
bles you to continue listening to the
same station irrespective of the fre-
quency that it uses in your current
location. The audio equipment con-
tinuously searches for the transmitter
which provides the best reception.
Press this button suc-
cessively to activate or
deactivate the function.
On FM, the multifunction display will
indicate:
- "TP" or "TP EON" : the radio
transmits a programme while
awaiting the broadcasting of
traffi c information.
- "TA" or "TA EON" : the programme
transmitted by the radio is put
on standby while awaiting the
broadcasting of traffi c information.
If you wish to interrupt the transmis-
sion of a message, press this button
again.
Traffic information
programme (TA)
Press this button suc-
cessively to activate or
deactivate the function.
The screen will indicate:

available. When
FM is selected,
press this button:

Notes: the volume of the traffi c information is independent of
the volume of normal radio
listening.
You can adjust it using the volume
button, when the TA programme is
being transmitted.
The setting will be stored and will be

SAFETY When this warning lamp
comes on, it indicates that
there is a malfunction of the
ABS, which can cause a
loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
When these warn-
ing lamps come
on simultaneously,
it indicates that
there is a malfunc-
tion of the braking system or that the
parking brake has not been released
fully, which can cause a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Normal operation of the
ABS may make itself felt by
slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.

In emergency braking,
press very fi rmly without
releasing the pressure. TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and supplement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. It also allows the directional stability of the vehicle to be improved on acceleration.
If there is a variation between the trajectory followed by the vehicle and that required by the driver, the ESP system automatically acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to put the vehicle back on course, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Operating check
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems When one of these two systems is operating, this warning lamp comes on.
When a malfunction of the systems occurs, this warning lamp comes on.
The ASR/ESP systems offer exceptional safety during normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed.
Correct operation of these systems depends on observation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components and the electronic components as well as the CITROËN dealer repair procedures. electronic components as well as the electronic
