FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
| QUESTION | ANSWER | SOLUTION |
| There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD, etc.). | To ensure optimum listening quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adjusted for the different audio sources, which may cause audible differences when switching sources (radio, CD...). | Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are suited to the sources being played. It is advised to set the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front/Rear balance, Left/Right balance) to the middle position, select the "None" sound ambience, set loudness correction to the "On" position in CD mode and to the "Off" position in radio mode. |
| The CD is always ejected or is not played by the player. | The CD is inserted upside down, is unreadable, contains no audio data, or contains an audio format that the car radio cannot read. The CD is protected by a copy protection system that is not recognized by the car radio. |
|
| The message "USB device error" is displayed on screen. The Bluetooth connection is lost. | The device battery charge level may be insufficient. | Recharge the device battery. |
| The USB key is not recognized. The key may be corrupted. |
Reformat the key. | |
| The sound from the CD player is distorted. | The CD being used is scratched or of poor quality. | Insert good-quality CDs and store them in good conditions. |
| The car radio settings (bass, treble, ambience) are unsuitable. | Set the treble or bass level back to 0, without selecting any ambience. |
| QUESTION | ANSWER | SOLUTION |
| The stored stations do not work (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed, etc.). | The selected waveband is not the correct one. | Press the BAND AST button to find the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) where the stations are stored. |
| The traffic announcement (TA) indicator is displayed. I am not receiving any traffic information. | The radio station does not take part in the regional traffic information network. | Switch to a radio station that broadcasts traffic information. |
| The reception quality of the station being listened to gradually deteriorates, or the stored stations do not work (no sound, 87.5 MHz is displayed, etc.). | The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of the station being listened to, or no transmitter is present in the geographic area being travelled through. | Activate the RDS function so that the system can check whether a more powerful transmitter is available in the geographic area. |
| The environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park, etc.) blocks reception, including in RDS tracking mode. | This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a fault with the car radio. | |
| The antenna is missing or has been damaged (for example, after going through a car wash or in an underground car park). | Have the antenna checked by the CITROËN network. | |
| Sound cuts out for 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. | During this brief sound interruption, the RDS system searches for a possible frequency that provides better reception of the station. | Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always occurs on the same route. |
| Engine off, the car radio switches off after several minutes of use. | When the engine is off, the operating time of the car radio depends on the battery charge. This shutdown is normal: the car radio switches to energy-saving mode and turns off to preserve the vehicle battery. |
Start the vehicle engine to increase the battery charge. |
| The message "audio system overheating" is displayed on screen. | To protect the system if the ambient temperature is too high, the radio switches to an automatic thermal protection mode, reducing the volume or stopping CD playback. | Switch off the audio system for a few minutes to let it cool down. |
