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

  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   find   some   radio  
stations in the list of

Some
  radio   stations   send   other   information   in   place   of   their   name  

(the

  title   of   the   song   for   example).
The
