T
here is a difference in
sound
Â
quality  between  the Â
d
ifferent  audio  sources. For
 optimum  sound  quality,  the  audio  settings  for  Volume,  Bass, Â
T
reble,  Equalizer  and  Loudness  can  be  adapted  to  the  different Â
s
ound  sources,  which  may  result  in  audible  differences  when Â
c
hanging
 s
ource. Check
 that  the  audio  settings  for  (Volume,  Bass, Â
T
reble,  Equalizer,  Loudness)  are  adapted  to  the Â
s
ources  listened  to.  It  is  advisable  to  set  the Â
a
udio  functions  (Bass,  Treble,  Fr-Re  balance, Â
L
e-Ri  balance)  to  the  middle  position,  select  the Â
"
Linear",  musical  ambience  and  set  the  loudness Â
c
orrection to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.
With
Â
the  engine  off,  the Â
s
ystem
 switches  off  after  a Â
f
ew
Â
minutes  of  use. When
 the  engine  is  switched  off,  the  system's  operating  time Â
d
epends  on  the  state  of  charge  of  the  battery.
The
 switch-off  is  normal:  the  system  switches  to  economy  mode Â
a
nd  switches  off  to  prevent  discharging  of  the  vehicle's  battery.Start
 the  vehicle's  engine  to  increase  the  battery Â

I
Â
cannot  connect  my Â
B
luetooth
 t
elephone. The
 telephone's  Bluetooth  function  may  be  switched  off  or  the Â
t
elephone  may  not  be  visible. -
Â
C
heck  that  your  telephone's  Bluetooth Â
f
unction  is  switched  on.
-
Â
C
heck  in  the  telephone  settings  that  it  is Â

The
 Bluetooth  telephone  is  not  compatible  with  the  system.You
 can  check  the  compatibility  of  your Â
t
elephone  at  www.citroen.co.uk  (services).
The
Â
volume  of  the Â
t
elephone connected
in
Â
Bluetooth  mode  is Â
ina
udible. The
 volume  depends  both  on  the  system  and  on  the  telephone. Increase  the  volume  of  the  audio  system,  to Â
m
aximum  if  required,  and  increase  the  volume  of Â
t
he  telephone  if  necessary.
The
 ambient  noise  level  has  an  influence  on  the  quality  of Â
t
elephone
 c
ommunication. Reduce
 the  ambient  noise  level  (close  the Â
w
indows, reduce the booster fan speed, slow
down,
 ...
).
Some
Â
contacts  are Â
d
uplicated  in  the  list. The
 options  for  synchronizing  contacts  are  synchronizing  the Â
c
ontacts  on  the  SIM  card,  the  contacts  on  the  telephone,  or  both. Â
W
hen  both  synchronizations  are  selected,  some  contacts  may  be Â
dup
licated. Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display
telephone
 c
ontacts".
Contacts are not shown in
alphabetical
 o

 telephones  offer  display  options.  Depending  on  the  settings Â
c
hosen,  contacts  can  be  transferred  in  a  specific  order.Modify

The
