Press one of the buttons to perform an
automatic search for radio stations.
Or
Move the slider to manually search for
frequencies up or down.
Or
Press Radio Media to display the main

First enter the units then click on the
decimals field to enter the figures after the
decimal point.
Press "OK" to confirm.
Radio reception may be affected by the
use of electrical equipment not approved
by the Brand, such as a USB charger
connected to the 12 V socket.
The exterior environment (hills, buildings,
tunnels, basement car parks, etc.) may
block reception, including in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is perfectly normal in the
context of radio wave transmission, and
in no way indicative of an audio system
malfunction.
Presetting a station
Select a radio station or frequency.
(refer to the corresponding section)
Press "Presets ".
Make a long press on one of the buttons
to preset the station.
Changing the waveband
Press Radio Media to display the main
page.
To change the waveband, press "Band…",
displayed at the top right of the screen.
Activating/Deactivating RDS
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies.
Press Radio Media to display the main
page.
Press the "OPTIONS " button to access the
secondary page.
Select "Radio settings".
Select "General".
Activate/deactivate "Station follow ".
Press "OK" to confirm.
RDS station tracking may not be
available nationwide, as many radio
stations do not cover 100
% of the country.
This explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey.
Displaying text information
The "Radio Text" function displays information
transmitted by the radio station relating to the
station or the currently playing song.
Press Radio Media to display the main
page.
Press the "OPTIONS " button to access the
secondary page.
Select "Radio settings".
Select "General".
Activate/deactivate "Display radio text".
Press "OK" to confirm.
Playing TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives
priority to TA alert messages. To operate, this
function needs good reception of a radio station
that carries this type of message. While traffic
information is being broadcast, the current
media is automatically interrupted so that the

242
MyCitroën Drive
TA message can be heard. Normal play of the
previously playing media resumes at the end of
the message.
Select "Announcements".
Activate/deactivate "Traffic announcement".
Press "OK" to confirm.
DAB (Digital Audio
Broadcasting) radio
Terrestrial Digital Radio
Digital radio provides higher quality sound.
The various "multiplexes/ensembles" offer a
choice of radio stations organised in alphabetical
order.
Press Radio Media to display the main
page.
Press “Band …" at the top right of the screen to
display the " DAB" waveband.
FM-DAB tracking
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the territory.
When the digital radio signal is poor,
“FM-DAB
auto tracking" enables you to continue
listening to the same station by automatically
switching to the corresponding FM analogue
station (if there is one).
Press Radio Media to display the main
page.
Press the "OPTIONS " button to go to the
secondary page.
Select "Radio settings".
Select "General".
Activate/deactivate "FM-DAB Follow-up ".
Activate/deactivate "Station follow".
Press "OK".
If "FM-DAB auto tracking" is activated,
there may be a time lag of a few seconds
when the system switches to "FM" analogue
radio, and in some cases a change in volume.
When the digital signal quality is restored, the
system automatically changes back to "DAB".
To minimise this time lag, storing radio
stations in the "DAB" band is recommended.
If the "DAB" station being listened to is
not available on "FM" (" FM-DAB" greyed
out), or "FM-DAB auto tracking" is not
activated, the sound will cut out when the
digital signal becomes too weak.
Media
USB port
Insert the USB memory stick into the USB
port or connect the USB device to the
USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied).
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
Playlists are updated whenever the ignition
is switched off or a USB memory stick is
connected. The audio system memorises these
lists, which will subsequently load faster if they
have not been changed.
Auxiliary socket (AUX)
Depending on equipmentConnect a portable device (MP3 player,
etc.) to the auxiliary jack socket using an
audio cable (not supplied).
This source is only available if "Auxiliary input"
has been selected in the audio settings.
First adjust the volume on the portable device
(to a high level). Then adjust the volume of the
audio system.
Controls are managed via the portable device.

Streaming Bluetooth®
Streaming allows you to listen to the audio feed
from your smartphone.
The Bluetooth profile must be activated.
First adjust the volume on the portable device (to
a high level).
Then adjust the volume of the audio system.
If play does not start automatically, it may be
necessary to start the audio playback from the
smartphone.
Control is from the portable device or by using
the system's touch buttons.
Once connected in streaming mode, the
smartphone is considered to be a media
source.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect the Apple® player to the USB port using
a suitable cable (not supplied).
Play starts automatically.
Control is via the audio system.
The classifications available are those of the portable device connected (artists/
albums/genres/playlists/audio books/
podcasts).
The default classification used is by artist. To
modify the classification used, return to the
first level of the menu then select the desired
classification (playlists for example) and
confirm to go down through the menu to the
desired track.
The version of software in the audio system may
not be compatible with the generation of the
Apple

Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices and Apple® players
via the USB ports. The adapter cable is not
supplied.
Devices are managed using the audio system
controls.
Other devices, not recognised on connection,
must be connected to the auxiliary socket using
a jack cable (not supplied) or via Bluetooth
streaming, if compatible.
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wma", ".aac", ".flac", ".ogg" and ".mp3" file
extensions, at bit rates between 32 Kbps and
320 Kbps.
It also supports VBR (Variable Bit Rate) mode.
No other file types (".mp4", etc.) can be read.
All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 32, 44 and
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we
recommend choosing file names less than 20
characters long that do not contain any special
characters (e.g. “ ? .

; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT32 format
(File Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB
cable for the portable device.

completely so that there is GPS coverage by at
least 4
satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of
reception of the GPS signal may vary.
This behaviour is normal. The system is
dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.
