SOLUTION


The system does not receive
SMS text messages.
The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to the system.

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.
Le CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the
player.
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not
recognised by the audio system.

- 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 recorded
CD: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.

- The audio system's CD player does not play
DVDs.

- Some recorded CDs will not be played by
the audio system because they are not of
the correct quality.
There is a long waiting
period following the insertion
of a CD or connection of a
USB memory stick. When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of
data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take from a few seconds to a
few minutes. This phenomenon is normal.
The CD player sound is
poor. 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
selecting an ambience.
Some characters in the
media information are not
displayed correctly while
playing. The audio system does not display some types of characters. Use standard characters to name tracks and
folders.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


Playing of streaming fi les
does not start. The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play. Start the playback from the device.
The names of tracks and
the track length are not
displayed on the screen
when streaming audio. The Bluetooth profi le does not allow the transfer of this information.
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. Activate the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut menu 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 fault with the audio system.
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.
I cannot fi nd some radio
stations in the list of
stations received. The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the
title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station. The name of the radio
station changes.

ANSWER



SOLUTION


In changing the setting
of treble and bass the
equalizer setting is
deselected.
The selection of an equalizer setting imposes the balance settings.
Modifying one without the other is not possible. Modify the balance or equalizer settings to
obtain the desired musical ambience.
In changing the equalizer
setting, treble and bass
return to zero.
When changing the
balance settings, the
distribution setting is
deselected.
The selection of a distribution setting imposes the balance settings.
Modifying one without the other is not possible. Modify the balance or distribution settings to
obtain the desired musical ambience.
When changing an
distribution setting,
the balance setting is
deselected.
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer and 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 for (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the
"None", musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


With the engine off, the
system switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and
switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some fi les supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time). Delete the fi les supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the fi le
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my iPhone
as telephone and to the
USB port at the same time,
I am unable to play the
music fi les. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USB
function which is then not useable. Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port
(the USB function takes priority over streaming).

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 country as radio stations do not cover
100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey.

RECEIVING TA MESSAGES


The TA (Traffi c Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert
messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a radio
station transmitting this type of message. When a traffi c report is
transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) is interrupted
automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback of the audio
source resumes at the end of the transmission of the message.


Press TA INFO
to activate or deactivate
the reception of traffi c messages.


When the radio is displayed on the
screen, press OK
to display the
contextual menu.

" or " DAB/FM auto
tracking
" and confi rm to save.
" RDS
" or " DAB/FM

DIGITAL RADIO - DAB/FM AUTO TRACKING


DAB/FM auto tracking allows you to continue listening to the same
station, by temporarily switching to the equivalent analogue station
until the digital signal is stable again.
The INFO function gives priority to TA alert messages. To be
active, this function needs good reception of a radio station that
transmits this type of message. When a message is transmitted,
the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) is interrupted
automatically to receive the INFO message. Normal play resumes
at the end of the message transmission.
