PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay au-
dio navigation system, it will be
interrupted after 10 minutes. A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message ap-
pears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine is
left running. However, this period will al-
ways be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audiosources (radio, CD...). For optimum sound qualit
y, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble,
Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources,
which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...). Check that the audio settin
gs (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear
Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the Linear musical ambience and set theloudness correction to the "Active" position in CDmode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
The
CD is ejected
automatically or is not played by the player. The
CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.
The CD is protected b
y an anti-pirating protection system which is not recognised by the audio equipment.
-
Check that the CD is inserted in the player the
right way up.
-
Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too damaged.
-
Check the content in the case of a recordedCD: consult the advice in the Audio section.
- The audio equipment's
CD player does not
play DVDs.
- Because o
f their quality level, certain
writeable CDs will not be played by the audio
system.
The CD pla
yer sound ispoor.The CD used is scratched or of poor quality. Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable conditions.
The audio equipment settings
(bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable. Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selectingan ambience.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations donot function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which thestations are stored.
The quality of receptionof the radio station listened to graduallydeteriorates 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 listenedto or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through whichthe vehicle is travelling.
Activate 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 goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating timedepends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
