11Onboard audio: Arkamys Sound Staging©
optimises the sound distribution inside
the passenger compartment.
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 the "OPTIONS " button to access the
secondary page.
Press "Band" to select "DAB band".
Press in the shaded area to confirm.
FM-DAB Follow-up
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the territory.
When the digital radio signal is poor, the
"FM-DAB Follow-up" 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.
Activate/deactivate "FM-DAB Follow-up ".
Press in the shaded area to confirm.
If "FM-DAB Follow-up" is activated, there
may be a time offset 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", or if "FM-DAB
Follow-up" 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.
Selecting the source
Press Radio Media to display the main
page.
Press the "SOURCES" button.
Select the source.
BluetoothStreaming®
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
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.

218
MyCitroën Play
Once connected in Streaming mode, the
smartphone is considered to be a media
source.
Connecting Apple® players
Connect the Apple® player to the USB socket
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). It is also possible to use a
classification structured in the form of a
library.
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
® player.
Information and advice
The system supports USB mass storage
devices, BlackBerry® devices or 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 via Bluetooth streaming, if
compatible.
To protect the system, do not use a USB hub.
The audio system will only play audio files with
".wav", ".wma", ".aac", ".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 11, 22, 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.
Telephone
Pairing a Bluetooth®
telephone
The services available depend on the
network, the SIM card and the
compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used.
Consult the telephone user guide and the
service provider to check which services are
available.
The Bluetooth function must be activated and
the telephone configured as "Visible to all” (in the
telephone settings).
To complete the pairing, whichever procedure is
used (from the telephone or from the system),
ensure that the code is the same in the system
and in the telephone.
If the pairing procedure fails, we
recommend deactivating and then
reactivating the Bluetooth function on the
telephone.

prompted to accept the transfer of contacts and
messages.
The ability of the system to connect just one profile depends on the telephone.
All three profiles may connect by default.
The profiles compatible with the system are: HFP, OPP, PBAP, A2DP, AVRCP,
MAP and PAN.
Visit the Brand's website for more information
(compatibility, additional help, etc.).

after switching on the ignition, the pairing is
established automatically (Bluetooth activated).

can't find the destination but the street's right,
say for example "select the street in line three".
To move around a displayed list, you can say
