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.

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.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, baseme nt car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
Press RADIO, select RADIO MENU then AM/FM WAVEBAND to return to the waveband on which the stations are stored.

QUESTION SOLUTION RESPONSE
The TRAFFIC INFO box is ticked. However, certain traffi c jams along the route are not indicated in real time.
On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the traffi c information. Wait until the traffi c information is being received correctly (displaying of the traffi c information symbols on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways , ...) are listed for the traffi c information.
The time taken to calculate a route sometimes seems longer than usual.
This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the traffi c information available.
The performance of the system may slow down tempor arily if a CD/DVD is being copied onto the Jukebox at the same time as 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 SIM card in order to make an emergency call. Insert a valid SIM card in the slot.
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 SETUP button, then select GPS COVERAGE).
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel, ...) or the weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the conditions of reception of the GPS signal.
The route calculation is not successful. The exclusion criteria may confl ict with the current location (exclusion of toll roads on a toll motorway). Check the exclusion criteria on the NAV menu (GUIDANCE OPTION-EXCLUSION CRITERIA).

SOLUTION
There is a long waiting period following the insertion of a CD or SD card.
When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take a few seconds. This phenomenon is normal.
QUESTION RESPONSE
The system does not play the DVD. The region protection may not be compatible. Insert DVDs which have compatible region protection.
I cannot copy the CD to the Jukebox. The wrong source is selected. Change the active source to CD.
The CD is copy-protected. It is normal that a protected CD cannot be copied.
The system does not receive SMS. The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending of the SMS to the system. Use your SIM card and the internal telephone.
The SIM card used is a twin card. Use the original SIM card to receive the SMS.
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.
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. A list of compatible Bluetooth mobile telephones is available from the dealer network.

 Turn control 2a to change the
temperature on the driver's side
and control 2b to change the
temperature on the passenger's
side: to the right to increase the
temperature or to the left to re-
duce it.
The setting required is displayed.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort
and not to a temperature in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending
on the screen confi guration.
A setting around the value 21 usually
makes it possible to obtain optimum
comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18
and 24 is usual.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder
(or warmer) than is comfortable.
There is no need to change the
temperature displayed in order to
quickly obtain the level of comfort
required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly
as possible.
2a-2b. Temperature adjustment Control via the manual
controls

 Press one of the controls, with
the exception of temperature
regulation 2a and 2b . The indi-
cator lamps A on the "AUTO"
controls switch off.
It is possible to adjust one or more
functions manually while leaving the
other functions in automatic mode.
Switching to manual mode may re-
sult in discomfort (temperature, hu-
midity, odour, condensation) and
may not provide optimum comfort.
To return to "AUTO" mode, press
controls 1a and 1b . The indicator
lamps A come on. 3a-3b. Air distribution adjustment

 Press control

3a to change
the distribu-
tion of the air
fl ow on the

if open) and rear ventilation.
- Front and rear footwells.
Simultaneous display of the distribu-
tion of air to the windscreen and side
windows and of front and rear venti-
lation is not possible.
