RDS, if displayed, 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 notcover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of 
the station during a journey.
  The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park...)may interfere with the reception, including in RDS following mode. Thisphenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are 
transmitted and does not in any way indicate a failure of the audio equipment.

  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 andset the loudness correction to the "Active" position 
in CD mode 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 which the 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.
