Note : The simultaneous use of
other high frequency equipment
(mobile telephones, domestic
alarms...) may momentarily hinder
the operation of the remote con-
trol.
In the event of a permanent fault,
the remote control should be
reinitialised. See “Changing the
remote control battery”.
Locating of the vehicle
To locate the vehicle on a carpark,
press button A, the interior
lamps come on and the direction
indicators lash for a few seconds.
The vehicle remains locked.
When operating the windows and sun roofs by means of
the remote control, the user must make sure that nobody is
obstructing the windows or sun roofs from closing proper ly.
It is dangerous to operate the deadlocking when a perso n is in
the vehicle as unlocking is impossible from the inside (without
the remote control).
Central unlocking
A short press on button
B unlocks your vehicle.
This operation is conirmed by rapid lashing of the direction ind icators and
lighting of the interior lamp (if the function is activated ). This also deploys
the exterior rear view mirrors.
Central locking - Closing of windows and sliding of sun roofs -
Deadlocking
- A short press on button A locks your vehicle.
- A long press on button A locks your vehicle, closes the windows and
slides the sun roofs. The sun roofs stop in the partially open position. To
close completely, use the interior sunroof control (see page 105 ).
This operation is conirmed by the direction indicators illuminati ng for
approx. two seconds and by the interior lamp switching off. Th e exterior
rear view mirrors will also fold back.
If any of the doors or the boot is open or not properly closed , the central
locking does not operate.
For vehicles equipped with deadlocking, two successive presses on
button A have the effect of deadlocking the vehicle. It is then imp ossible to
open the doors, either from the inside or the outside.

QUESTIONSANSWERSSOLUTIONS
The rec eption qualit y of the radio station being listened to gradually deteriorates.
The vehicle is too distant from the transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the geographical area you are passing th rough.
Activate the RDS function to allow the system to chec k whether a more power ful transmitter is to be found in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tunnels, underground car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, even in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not imply anythi ng 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.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the working time fo r the radio depends on the batter y charge. The interruption is nor mal: the radio goes into economy mode, cutting off in order to save the vehicle’s batter y.
You have to star t the engine so as to increase the bat-ter y charge.
T h e m e s s a g e “ t h e a u d i o s y s t e m i s o v e r h e a t i n g ” a p p e a r s o n t h e screen.
In order to protect the audio equipment in excessiv e 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.
Why is one not informed in real time of a hold-up on the route even though the option for guidance by “traffi c info” is activated ?
When you star t up, the system takes a few minutes to c apture the traf fi c information via RDS-TMC.Wait for the traf fi c information to be safely received (pictogrammes displayed on the map) and make sure that you use the major ar terial roads to have “inform ed” navigation.
Only the major ar terial roads (motor ways and some d ual car-riageways) are featured in RDS-TMC traf fi c information).
It may happen that a hold-up is not repor ted by the tr af fi c info provider.
Why is a diversion not suggested when I have selected traf fi c info ?
Do not confuse the “traf fi c info” guidance option which can sug-gest a diversion (the “diver t” button appears in the w indow) with the menus “Display of traf fi c messages” or “Reading of traf fi c messages” which af fect only the display without recalculating the itinerar y (no “diver t” button in the window).
To have “informed” navigation with the detour proposi-tion, it is essential to activate the guidance option with “traf fi c info”.
