RDS
The RDS, if displayed, enables 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.
Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function
gives priority to TA alert messages.
To operate, this function needs good
reception of a radio station that carries
this type of message. When a traffic report
is transmitted, the current audio source
(Radio, CD, ...) is interrupted automatically
to play the TA message. Normal play of
the media previously playing is resumed at
the end of the message.Press MENU to activate or

Information and advice
The audio system can only play
files with ".mp3", ".wma" or ".wav"
extensions.
A high compression rate could damage
the quality of the sound. File names should have less than 20
characters, avoiding special characters
(e.g.: « ? ; ù) so as to avoid any reading
or display problems.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and
.pls.
The system can recognise up to 5,000
files in 500 folders on 8 levels. On a given disc, the CD player can read
up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8 levels.
However, it is recommended that this
be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the time
taken to access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not observed during
playback.
In order to be able to play a burned
CDR or CDRW, select standards
ISO
9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible
when burning the CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it
may not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same
burning standard is always used on an
individual disc, with the lowest speed
possible (4x maximum) for the best
acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-
session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.

Frequently asked questions
The following tables contain answers to the most frequently asked questions.
QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD...).En
changeant d'ambiance, les réglages des aigus
et graves reviennent à zéro. To allow for optimal listening quality, the audio
settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience,
Loudness) can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source (radio,
CD...).Check that the audio settings (volume, bass,
treble, ambience, 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
ambience setting to obtain the desired sound
quality.
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed ...).The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.Activate the RDS mode and start a new search
for the station so that the system can check
whether a stronger transmitter is available in
the geographic 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 antenna checked by the
CITROËN
network.

Press the SRC button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2) on which the

QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
With the engine off, the audio system switches
off after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio
system operating time 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.Turn the ignition on to increase charge of the
battery.
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.
