The distribution (or spatialisation using the Arkamys

is an audio process that allows the audio quality to be adapted to the
number of listeners in the vehicle.

Sound Staging.
With Sound Staging, the driver and passengers are immersed in an
"audio scene" recreating the natural atmosphere of an auditorium:
truly a part of the scene and its surroundings.
This new sensation is made possible by software in the audio system
which processes the digital signals from the media players (radio,
CD, MP3…) without changing the audio settings. This processing
takes account of the characteristics of the passenger compartment to
produce optimum results.
The Arkamys
© software installed in your audio system processes
the digital signal from the media players (radio, CD, MP3, …) and
recreates a natural musical scene, with harmonious placement of
instruments and voices in the space in front of passengers, level with
the windscreen.

The audio settings ( Equalizer
, Bass
, Treble
and Loudness
) are
different and independent for each sound source.
The settings for distribution and balance are common to all sources.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


The following table groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning your audio system.


QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


The route calculation is
not successful. The guidance criteria may confl ict with the current location (exclusion of
toll roads on a toll motorway). Check the guidance criteria on the Navigation
Menu, "Guidance options" "Defi ne calculation
criteria".
I am unable to enter my
post code. The system only accepts post codes of up to 5 characters.
The POIs do not appear. The POIs have not been selected. Select the POIs in the list of POIs.
The risk areas audible
warning does not work. The audible warning is not active. Activate audible warnings in the Guidance options
menu, "Navigation - guidance", "Set parameters
for risk areas".
The system does not
suggest a detour around
an incident on the route. The guidance criteria do not take account of TMC messages. Select the "Traffi c info" function in the list of
guidance criteria.
I receive a Risk area alert
which is not on my route. Other than guidance, the system announces all Risk areas positioned in a
cone located in front of the vehicle. It may provide an alert for a Risk area
located on nearby or parallel roads. Zoom in on the map to view the exact position of
the Risk area. Select "On the route" to no longer
receive alerts other than guidance or to reduce the
time for the announcement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


Certain traffi c jams
along the route are not
indicated in real time. On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the
traffi c information. Wait until the traffi c information is being received
correctly (display of the traffi c information icons on
the map).
The fi lters are too restrictive. Modify the "Geographic fi lter" settings.
In certain countries, only major routes (motorways…) are listed for the
traffi c information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is
dependent on the traffi c information available.
The altitude is not
displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to
receive more than 4 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely.
Check that there is a GPS coverage of at least
4 satellites (long press on the SETUP button, then
select "GPS coverage").
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel…) or the weather,
the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system
is dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.
I am unable to connect
my Bluetooth telephone. The telephone's Bluetooth function may be switched off or the telephone
may not be visible.

- Check that your telephone's Bluetooth
function is switched on.

- Check in the telephone settings that it is
"visible to all".
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with the system. You can check the compatibility of your telephone
on www.citroen.co.uk (services)
The volume of the
telephone connected
in Bluetooth mode is
inaudible. The volume depends both on the system and on the telephone. Increase the volume of the audio system, to
maximum if required, and increase the volume of
the telephone if necessary.
The ambient noise level has an infl uence on the quality of telephone
communication. Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,
reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, …).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


Some contacts are
duplicated in the list. The options for synchronizing contacts are synchronizing the contacts
on the SIM card, the contacts on the telephone, or both. When both
synchronizations are selected, some contacts may be duplicated. Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display
telephone contacts".
Contacts are not shown
in alphabetical order. Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings
chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specifi c order. Modify the display setting in the telephone
directory.
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.


- 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:
refer to the information and advice in the "MUSIC
MEDIA PLAYERS" 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.

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

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


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.
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.
