The following table groups together the answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning your audio system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

The route calculation is
not successful.

The guidance criteria may conflict with the current location (exclusion of

toll roads on a toll motorway).

Check the guidance criteria on the Navigation

Menu, "Guidance options"\ "Define calculation

criteria".

I am unable to enter my
post code.

The system only accepts post codes of up to 7 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 "Traffic 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 traffic jams

along the route are not
indicated in real time.

On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the

traffic information.

Wait until the traffic information is being received

correctly (display of the traffic information icons on

the map).

The filters are too restrictive.

Modify the "Geographic filter" settings.

In certain countries, only major routes (motorways...) are listed for the

traffic information.

This phenomenon is normal. The system is

dependent on the traffic 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 influence on the quality of telephone

communication.

Reduce the ambient noise level (close the windows,

reduce the booster fan speed, slow down, ...).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

Some contacts are
duplicated in the list.

The options for synchronizing contacts are synchronizing the contacts
on the SIM card, the contacts on the telephone, or both. When both
synchronizations are selected, some contacts may be duplicated.

Select "Display SIM card contacts" or "Display
telephone contacts".

Contacts are not shown

in alphabetical order.

Some telephones offer display options. Depending on the settings

chosen, contacts can be transferred in a specific order.

Modify the display setting in the telephone
directory.

The system does not receive

SMS text messages.

The Bluetooth mode does not permit sending SMS text messages to the

system.

The CD is ejected
automatically or is not
played by the player.

The CD is inserted upside down, is unplayable, does not contain any

audio data or contains an audio format which the player cannot play.

Check that the CD is inserted in the player the

right way up.

Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot
be played if it is too damaged.

Check the content in the case of a recorded
CD: refer to the information and advice in the
"MUSIC MEDIA PLAYERS" section.

The audio system's CD player does not play
DVDs.

Some recorded CDs will not be played by the audio

system because they are not of the correct quality.

The CD has been recorded in a format that is not compatible with the

player (udf, ...).

The CD is protected by an anti-pirating protection system which is not

recognised by the audio system.

There is a long waiting

period following the insertion

of a CD or connection of a
USB memory stick.

When a new medium is inserted, the system reads a certain amount of

data (directory, title, artist, etc.). This may take from a few seconds to a

few minutes.

This phenomenon is normal.

The CD player sound is
poor.

The CD used is scratched or of poor quality.

Insert good quality CDs and store them in suitable
conditions.

The audio equipment settings (bass, treble, ambiences) are unsuitable.

Set the treble or bass level to 0, without selecting

an ambience.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

Some characters in the
media information are not

displayed correctly while

playing.

The audio system does not read some types of characters.

Use standard characters to name tracks and
folders.

Playing of streaming files

does not start.

The peripheral device connected does not support automatic play.

Start the playback from the device.

The names of tracks and
the track length are not
displayed on the screen

when streaming audio.

The Bluetooth profile does not allow the transfer of this information.

The quality of reception
of the radio station
listened to gradually
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

geographical 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 an automatic car wash or in an underground car park).

Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.

I cannot find some radio

stations in the list of
stations received.

The station is not received or its name has changed in the list.

Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the

title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.

The name of the radio
station changes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

When modifying the
treble and bass setting,
the choice of ambience is
cancelled.

The selection of an ambience imposes specific treble and bass settings.

Modify the treble and bass settings or choose a
musical ambience to obtain the desired sound
quality.

When modifying the
ambience, the treble
and bass settings are
cancelled.

When modifying the
balance settings,
the "Driver" or "All
passengers" setting is
cancelled.

The choice of the "Driver" distribution setting imposes specific balance

settings.

When modifying
the "Driver" or "All
passengers" distribution
setting, the balance
settings are cancelled.

There is a difference in

sound quality between

the different audio
sources (radio, CD...).

For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass, Treble,
Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different sound sources,

which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio,

CD...).

Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the
"None", musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

With the engine off, the

system switches off after

a few minutes of use.

When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on

the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: economy mode is activated automatically to

maintain the state of charge of the vehicle's battery, needed for engine
starting. (See the "Energy economy mode" section).

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.

Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only

after a very long wait

(around 2 to 3 minutes).

Some files supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access

to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time).

Delete the files supplied with the memory stick

and limit the number of sub-folders in the file

structure on the memory stick.

When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the USB port at the
same time, I am unable

to play the music files.

When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USB

function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the

track being played with Apple

players.

Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port
(the USB function takes priority over streaming).
