B L U E T O O T H ®Your audio system may be
Bluetooth® compatible. It allows
you to connect a mobile telephone
for use “hands free” and even to
use its directory.
It permits you to twin up to four tel-
ephones, to be able then to connect
whichever one you choose.
The Bluetooth® functions available
and the content of the display are
dependent on the type of mobile
telephone, its settings and the type
of contract you have. For this reason
it is advisable to make enquiries with
your telephone provider.
Prior to any operation :
- Your display should be lit up (key in position M).
- Your telephone’s Bluetooth® system must be activated.
Twinning a telephone
Twinning a telephone consists
of having it recognised by the
Bluetooth® system on your vehicle.
This then permits an instantaneous
connection.
Twinning can only be performed with
ignition switched on, display illumi-
nated, engine stopped. No other
telephone should be connected.
- The twinning must be performed
with the telephone and its
Bluetooth® system activated.
Note :
Refer to the user instructions to
familiarise yourself with the features
of twinning.
- The telephone detects the
Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. “ C4 ” displays on your telephone.
You should then select “ C4” on
your telephone controls. Next you
must choose whether or not to
accept this twinning then select,
on screen C using J, M or 8, one
of the 4 memories. Validate with a
press on button L or 7.
Note :
You can select a memory already
attributed, although the telephone
twinned to this location will no longer
be.
- Next the telephone asks you
to enter an identification code :
1234 .
- Validate.
Note :
This entry may be demanded earlier
in the twinning sequence.
The telephone is now twinned
to your Bluetooth® system. For
immediate access to the Bluetooth®
functions, it may be necessary to
make a connection (see following
page Configuration : Connecting a
twinned mobile telephone).
Once the twinning is finished, you will
be able to connect your telephone
via the “Main menu”.
Connecting a twinned
telephone
Each time you enter the vehicle,
after switching on the audio system,
your telephone is detected automati-
cally. If more than one telephone is
present, the last telephone to have
been connected is the first to be
recognised.
Note :
Disconnections may occur. You may
have to make a new connection (see
following page, Configuration :
Connecting a twinned mobile
telephone ).
Remarks :
- In the event of a problem, it is recommended to switch your
telephone off and then on again.
- If you switch off your telephone within the field of reception of
the Bluetooth® system on your
vehicle, the next connection will
not be automatic. To restore
automatic connection, you will
have to connect your telephone
manually(see following page,
Configuration : Connecting a
twinned mobile telephone ).
- If you are already in telephone communication when the audio
system is turned on, the latter
detects the telephone.
- To avoid interference, you are advised not to place your mobile
telephone close to your radio.

The table below provides answers to the questions that are asked the most frequently.
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
There is a discrepancy in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD, CD changer
etc.).
To achieve an optimum listening quality, the
audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble,
Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to each of
the different sound sources, which can produce
audible shifts when you change the source
(radio, CD, CD changer etc.).Check that the audio adjustments (Volume,
Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) are
adapted to the sources being listened to.
It is recommended that you should adjust
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-
Rear balance, Left-Right balance) to the
mid position, select the musical ambiance
«None», adjust the loudness correction to
the position «Active» in CD mode and to
the position «Inactive» in radio mode.
The CD immediately ejects
or does not play back. The CD is the wrong way up, is unplayable,
does not contain audio data or contains an
audio format that the radio cannot play back.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection
system unrecognised by the radio.
- Check that you have inserted the CD
the right way up in the CD player.
-
Check the condition of the CD : the CD can-
not be played back if it is too damaged.
- Check the contents if it is a burnt CD : refer to the advice given in the
chapter on Audio System.
- The radio’s CD player cannot play back DVDs.
-
For reasons of poor quality, some burnt CDs
will not be played back by the audio system.
- The CD changer does not play back MP3 CDs.
The CD player sound is
downgraded. The CD being used is scratched or of poor qual-
ity.
Insert only CDs of good quality and
keep them in good condition.
The radio adjustments (bass, treble, ambiances)
are unsuitable. Return the treble and bass levels to 0,
without selecting any ambiance.

QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
The pre-set stations do not
work (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is
displayed, etc.).The waveband selected is not the correct one. Press on the butto
n BAND AST to
retrieve the wave band (AM, FM1,
FM2, FMAST) where the stations have
been memorised.
Traffic Announcements (TA)
is displayed, but I do not
receive any road information. The particular radio station is not in the regional
traffic information network.
Change to a radio station which does
broadcast traffic information.
The reception quality of the
radio station being listened
to gradually deteriorates or
the pre-set stations do not
work (no sound, 87.5 Mhz
displayed, etc.). The vehicle is too distant from the transmitter of
the station being listened to, or no transmitter
is present in the geographical area you are
passing through.
Activate the RDS function to allow
the system to check whether a more
powerful transmitter is to be found in
the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tunnels,
underground car parks, etc.) is blocking recep-
tion, even in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does
not imply anything wrong with the
radio.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for
example after going through a car wash or in an
underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Cutting of sound for 1 or 2
seconds in radio mode. The RDS system during this brief sound cut-off
is searching for a better frequency that might
offer improved reception of the station.

Deactivate the RDS function if the
phenomenon occurs too frequently
and always on the same journey.
When the engine is not run-
ning, the radio stops after a
few minutes. When the engine is switched off, the working
time for the radio depends on the vehicle battery
charge.
The interruption is normal : the radio goes into
economy mode, cutting off in order to save the
vehicle’s battery. You have to start the engine so as to
increase the battery charge.
The message «the audio
system is overheating»
appears on the screen. In order to protect the audio equipment in exces-
sive ambient temperatures, the radio goes into
an automatic thermic protection mode which
results in a reduction in sound volume or stop-
ping of the CD player. Switch off the audio system for a few
minutes in order to allow the system to
cool down.
