Some
 
characters   in   the  
media

 
information   are   not  
displayed

  correctly   while  
playing. The

  audio   system   does   not   read   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.
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   powerful   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

  an   automatic   car   wash   or   in   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.
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.

When
 
modifying   the  
treble

 
and   bass   setting,  
the

 
choice   of   ambience   is  
cancelled. The

  selection   of   an   ambience   imposes   specific   treble   and   bass   settings. Modify   the   treble   and   bass   settings   or   choose   a  
musical

  ambience   to   obtain   the   desired   sound  
quality

.
When
 
modifying   the  
ambience,

  the   treble  
and

 
bass   settings   are  
cancelled.
When

 
modifying   the  
balance

  settings,  
the "

d
river" or
a
ll
passengers"
  setting   is  
cancelled. The

  choice   of   the   "Driver"   distribution   setting   imposes   specific   balance  
settings.
When

 
modifying  
the "

d
river" or " a ll
passengers"
  distribution  
setting,

  the   balance  
settings

  are   cancelled.
There
 
is   a   difference   in  
sound

 
quality   between  
the

 
different   audio  
sources

  (radio,   CD...). For
  optimum   sound   quality,   the   audio   settings   for   Volume,   Bass,  
T
reble,  
Equalizer

  and   Loudness   can   be   adapted   to   the   different   sound   sources,  
which

  may   result   in   audible   differences   when   changing   source   (radio,  
CD...).Check

  that   the   audio   settings   for   (Volume,   Bass,  
T

reble,   Equalizer,   Loudness)   are   adapted   to  
the

  sources   listened   to.   It   is   advisable   to   set   the  
AUDIO

  functions   (Bass,  
T
reble,   Fr-Re   balance,  
Le-Ri

  balance)   to   the   middle   position,   select   the  
"None",

  musical   ambience   and   set   the   loudness  
correction

  to   the   "Active"   position   in   CD   mode   or  
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:   economy   mode   is   activated   automatically   to  
maintain

  the   state   of   charge   of   the   vehicle's   battery,   needed   for   engine  
starting.

  (See   the   "Energy   economy   mode"   section).Start
  the   vehicle's   engine   to   increase   the   battery  
charge.
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).

The system is coded in such a way that it will only operate  in   your   vehicle.
AUDIO SYSTEM / BLUETOOTH
For safety reasons, the driver must only carry out operations
  which   require   prolonged   attention   while  
the
  vehicle   is   stationary.
When
  the   engine   is   switched   off   and   to   prevent  
discharging

  of   the   battery,   the   audio   system   may   switch  
of

f   after   a   few   minutes.

RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the same station by  automatic   retuning   to   alternative   frequencies.   However,   in   certain conditions,

  coverage   of   an   RDS   station   may   not   be   assured   throughout
 the

  country   as   radio   stations   do   not   cover   100   %   of   the   territory.
