Radio reception may be affected by 
the use of electrical equipment not 
approved by CITROËN, such as a USB 
charger connected to the 12 V socket.
The exterior environment (hills, 
buildings, tunnel, car park, below 
ground...) may prevent reception, 
even in RDS station tracking mode. 
This phenomenon is normal in the 
propagation of radio waves and is in no 
way indicative of a fault with the audio 
system.

RDS, if activated, allows you to continue 
listening to the same station by automatic 
retuning to alternative frequencies. 
However, in certain conditions, coverage 
of an RDS station may not be assured 
throughout the entire country as radio 
stations do not cover 100 % of the 
territory. This explains the loss of 
reception of the station during a journey.

"DAB" does not cover 100% of the 
te r r i to r y.
When the digital radio signal is poor, 
"DAB
  /   FM auto tracking" allows you to 
continue listening to the same station, 
by automatically switching to the 
corresponding "FM" analogue station 
(if there is one). If "DAB
  /   FM auto tracking" is activated, 
there is a difference of a few seconds 
when the system switches to "FM" 
analogue radio with sometimes a 
variation in volume.
When the digital signal is restored, the 
system automatically changes back to 
" DA B ".
Digital radio provides higher quality 
reception and also the graphical display 
of current information on the radio 
station being listened to. Select "List" in 
the primary page.
The range of multiplexes available is 
displayed in alphabetical order.
If the "DAB" station being listened to 
is not available on "FM" ("
d
AB/FM" 
option greyed out), or "DAB / FM auto 
tracking" is not activated, the sound 
will cut out while the digital signal is too 
weak.

are not modified, the subsequent loading time 
will be shorter. Insert the USB memory stick into the USB port 
or connect the USB device to the USB port

The audio equipment will only play audio 
files with ".wma, .aac, .flac, .ogg and. mp3" 
file extensions and with a bit rate of between 
32  Kbps and 320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other type of file (.mp4, ...) can be played.
"wma" files must be of the standard wma 9 
type.
The sampling rates supported are 11, 22, 44 
and 48 KHz. 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 maximum) 
for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the 
Joliet standard is recommended.
It is advisable to restrict file names to 
20
  characters, without using of special 
characters (e.g.: " "
  ?   ; ù) to avoid any playing 
and displaying problems.
Information and advice
Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT 32 
(28 -bit file allocation table).
The system supports USB mass 
storage devices, BlackBerry
® devices 
or Apple® players via USB ports. The 
adaptor cable not supplied.
Control of the peripheral device is with 
the audio system controls.
Other peripherals, not recognised on 
connection, must be connected to the 
auxiliary socket using a Jack cable (not 
supplied). It is recommended that the USB cable 
for the portable device is used. The system does not support the 
simultaneous connection of two 
identical devices (two memory sticks, 
two Apple
® players) but it is possible 
t
o connect one memory stick and one 
Apple
® player at the same time.
