The audio equipment will only play audio fi les with ".m4a, .m4b, .aac, .fl ac, .ogg and.mp3" fi le extensions and with a bit rate o f between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
It also supports the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of fi le (.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.
The sampling rates supported are 11, 22, 44 and 48 KHz.
It is advisable to restrict fi le names to 20 characters, withou t using of special characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing and disp laying problems.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording it is preferable to select the ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet standard.
If the disc is recorded in another format it may not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording standard is always used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible (4x maxi mum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet standard is recommended.

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 (display of the traffi c information icons on the map).
The fi lters are too restrictive. Modify the "Geographic fi lter" settings.
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed fo r the traffi c information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the traffi c information available.
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 t he weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the GPS signal reception conditions.
I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone may not be visible. - Check that your telephone's Bluetooth function is switched on.
- Check in the telephone settings that it is "visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. A list of compatible Bluetooth mobile telephones is available from the dealer network.
The volume of the telephone connected in Bluetooth mode is inaudible.
The volume depends both on the system and on the telephon e. Increase the volume of the audio system, to maximum if required, and increase the volume of the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an infl uence on the quality of telephone communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).

- The audio system's CD player does not play DVDs.
- Some recorded CDs will not be played by the audio system because they are not of the correct quality.
There is a long waiting period following the insertion of a CD or connection of a USB memory stick.

Activate the "RDS" function by means of the short-cut menu to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks.. .) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when g oing through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
I cannot fi nd some radio stations in the list of stations received.
The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the stati on. The name of the radio station changes.
