QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The quality of reception of 
the radio station listened 
to gradually deteriorates 
or the stored stations do 
not function (no sound, 
87.5
 
MHz is displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station 
listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area 
through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system 
to check whether there is a more power ful 
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 failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going 
through an automatic car wash or in an underground car park). 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 another 
frequency giving better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon 
is too frequent and always on the same route.
The traffic announcement 
(TA) is displayed. I do 
not receive any traffic 
information. The radio station does not broadcast traffic information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic 
information.
The stored stations are not 
found (no sound, 87.5 MHz 
is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND button to return to the waveband 
on which the stations are stored.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The message "USB 
peripheral error" 
or "Peripheral not 
recognised" is displayed in 
the screen. The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The memory stick may be corrupt.
Reformat the memory stick (FAT32).
A telephone connects 
automatically, 
disconnecting another 
telephone. Automatic connection overrides manual connection.
Modify the telephone settings to remove 
automatic connection.
The Apple
® player is 
not recognised when 
connecting to the USB 
port. The Apple® player is of a generation that is not compatible with a 
USB connection. Connect the Apple® player to the AUX Jack 
socket using a suitable cable (not supplied).
The hard disk or device 
is not recognised when 
connecting to the USB 
port. Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is 
provided by the audio system.
Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V 
socket or an external power supply.
ca
ution : ensure that the device does not 
transmit a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of 
destruction of the system).
When streaming, the 
sound cuts momentarily. Some models of telephone prioritise connection with the "hands-
free" profile. Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to 
improve streaming.
