Information and adviceOn a given disc, the CD player can read up to 255 MP3 files spread
over 8 levels. However, it is advisable to keep to a limit of two levels to
reduce the access time before the CD is played.
The folder structure is not observed during playback.
In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when recording
it is preferable to select standards ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet.
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 a given 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.
The audio system can only play files with ".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav"
extensions.
A high compression level can degrade the sound quality.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and .pls.
The system can recognise up to 5 000 files in 500 folders on 8 levels. It is advisable to restrict file names to 20 characters without using
special characters (e.g. " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying
problems.

FREqUENTLY ASKED q UESTIONS
qUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
There is a dif ference in
sound quality between
the different audio
sources (radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble,
Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio,
CD...). Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambiance, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Fader, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position,
select the musical ambience "None" and set the
loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD
mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When changing the
settings for treble and
bass, the ambiance
setting is deselected.
When changing the
ambiance setting, treble
and bass are reset to
zero. Choosing an ambiance imposes settings for treble and bass. Modifying
one without the other is not possible.
Modify the treble and bass settings or the
ambiance setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.
The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.

qUESTION ANSWER 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.
Switch on the RDS function 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 failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into 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 any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Switch off 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 SRC button to return to the waveband
(AM, FM1, FM2) on which the stations are stored.

depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode
leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
