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 (Vol-ume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loud-ness) are adapted to your preferences for each of the sources being listened to.
The CD immediately ejects.
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.
Check that you have inserted the CD the right way up in the CD player.
Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot be played back if it is too dam-aged.

The particular radio station is not in the regional traffi c information network.Change to a radio station that does broadcast traffi c information.
The reception quality of the radio station being lis-tened to gradually deterio-rates.
The vehicle is too distant from the transmit-ter, or no transmitter is present in the geo-graphical area you are passing through.
Activate the RDS function to allow the system to check whether a more pow-erful transmitter is to be found in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tun-nels, underground car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, 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 to 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 phe-nomenon occurs too frequently and always on the same journey.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the work-ing time for the radio depends on the 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 excessive ambient temperatures, the radio goes into an automatic thermic protection mode which results in a reduction in sound volume or stopping of the CD player.
Switch off the audio system for a few minutes in order to allow the system to cool down.
