Note:
- If the traffi c information function has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the stations offering this facility will be memorised as priority.

There is a difference in
sound quality between
the different audio
sources (radio, CD,
CD changer...).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
Balance, 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.
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volu
me, Bass, Treble,
Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changi ng source (radio, CD,
CD changer...).
The CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player. - Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.

The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basemen t car parks...) block
reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for examp le when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park) .This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of
1 to 2 seconds in radio
mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches f
or any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon
is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a few
minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipmen
t operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switc hes to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehi cle's battery.Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...)
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the
stations are stored.
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 th rough which the vehicle
is travelling. Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.

The TRAFFIC INFO
box is ticked. However,
certain trafic jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time. On starting, it is several minutes before the syste
m begins to receive the
trafic information. Wait until the trafic information is being received

correctly (displaying of the trafic information
symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways, ...) are listed for the
trafic information.
The time taken to
calculate a route
sometimes seems
longer than usual. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the trafic information available.
The performance of the system may slow down tempora rily if a CD/DVD
is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time a s a route is being
calculated. Wait until the CD/DVD has been copied or stop
the copying before starting the guidance function.
Does the emergency call
function work without a
SIM card? No, European regulations impose the presence of a S
IM card in order to
make an emergency call. Insert a valid SIM card in the slot on the system.
My SIM card is not
recognised. The system accepts 3.3 V SIM cards, the old 5 V and
1.8 V SIM cards are
not recognised. Contact your telephone operator.
The altitude is not
displayed.
On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take
up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 4 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
4 satellites (long press on the MENU button, then
select AUDIO/TELEPHONE DIAGNOSTICS,
then GPS COVERAGE).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel, ...) or the weather,
the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may v ary.This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the conditions of reception of
the GPS signal.

The route is not
calculated successfully. The exclusion criteria may conlict with the current
location (exclusion of
toll roads on a motorway with tolls). Check the exclusion criteria.
There is a long wait after
inserting a CD. When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a c
ertain amount of
data (folder, title, artist, etc.). This may take a few seconds.This phenomenon is normal.
I cannot connect my
Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched
off or the equipment
may not be visible. - Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function
is switched on.
- Check that your telephone is visible.
