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 peripheral 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 peripheral to the 230
V socket, the
12V socket or an external power supply.
Caution : ensure that the device does not
transmit a voltage greater than 5
V (risk of
destruction of the system).
When streaming, the sound cuts out
m o m e nt a r i l y. Some telephones prioritise connection of the
"hands-free" profile.Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to
improve streaming.
In "Random all" play, not all of the tracks are
played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take
into account up to 999

tracks.
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.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.

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 the 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 obser ved during

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 information groups together the
answers to the most frequently asked questions
concerning your audio system.QUESTION RESPONSESOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.). 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,
e t c .) .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 ambience setting, treble
and bass are reset to zero. Choosing an ambience 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, etc.). 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, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS tracking mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is missing 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, etc.). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the SRC button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2) on which the
stations are stored.
