Selecting a station


The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park...) may interfere with the reception, including in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audio system.

The quality of reception is represented by the number of
active waves in this symbol.

Press RADIO
or OK
to display the
contextual menu.

displayed in alphabetical order.

Select " Change band
" and confi rm.

Digital radio - DAB/FM auto tracking


"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of the country.
When the digital signal is weak, "DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you
to continue listening to the same station, by automatically switching
to the corresponding analogue "FM" station (if one exists).

Change of station in the same "multiplex".

Manual search for a "multiplex".

Press " RADIO
".

Select " Options
" and confi rm.

Select " FM/DAB
" and confi rm.

If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is on, there will be a difference of a few
seconds in the programme when the system changes to analogue
"FM" radio with sometimes a variation in volume.
Display of the "DAB" band then becomes "DAB (FM)".
When the strength of the digital signal is good again, the system
automatically switches back to "DAB".

If the "DAB" station you are listening to is not available on "FM"
(" DAB/FM
" option greyed out), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking" is not
on, the sound will be cut when the digital signal is too weak.

The distribution (or spatialisation using the Arkamys

sound 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, ...).
