The batteries contain harm-
ful substances such as sul-
phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in
any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the ter-
minals while the engine is
running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if it is fi tted with a 6-speed
electronic gearbox system. Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to permit
initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems. However, if slight diffi cul-
ties are encountered following this
operation, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
-
the one-touch electric windows,
- the glass panoramic roof shutter,
- the parameters of the multi-
function display,
- the audio equipment radio sta- tions,
- the GPS satellite navigation system.
Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes. Switching to economy mode

Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-func-
tion display indicating that the vehi-
cle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on
standby.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:
- it will be maintained for 10 min-
utes with your Audio system
hands-free kit,
- it will be maintained for 10 min- utes with the NaviDrive, then it
will transfer to your telephone
depending on its model.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine
and let it run for at least 5 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting (refer
to the corresponding para-
graph).

FM WAVEBAND PREFERENCES
ACTIVATE FREQUENCY FOLLOWING (RDS)
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks) may block reception, includi ng 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.
RDS
The RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue lis tening to the same station by means of frequency following. Howev er, in certain conditions, this RDS station is not followed throughout the country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.

QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
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 (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing 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. - Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be played if it is too damaged. - Check the content in the case of a recorded CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section. - The audio equipment's CD player does not play DVDs. - Due to inadequate quality, certain recorded CDs will not be played by the audio system.
The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, doe s not contain any audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not recognised by the audio equipment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The CD player sound is poor. The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.
The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambien ces) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting an ambience.

QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
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 traffi c announcement (TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffi c information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network.
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 b y the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area th rough which the vehicle is travelling.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for exam ple when going through a car wash or into an underground car park).
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
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 for 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 equipme nt operating time depends on the battery charge. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
