interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback

of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of the

message.

303

The MP3 format, an abbreviation of MPEG 1.2 & 2.5 Audio Layer 3,

is an audio compression standard which permits the recording of

several tens of music ﬁ les on a single disc.

In order to be able to play a recorded CDR or CDRW, when

recording, the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or Joliet ﬁ le format is

recommended.
If the disc is recorded in another format, it may not be played
correctly.
It is recommended that the same recording format is always

used for an individual disc, with as low a speed as possible
(4x maximum) for optimum sound quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the Joliet format is
recommended.

The audio system will only play ﬁ les with the extension ".mp3" with

a sampling rate of 22.05 KHz or 44.1 KHz. No other type of ﬁ le

(.wma, .mp4, .m3u...) can be played.

It is advisable to restrict ﬁ le names to 20 characters without using

special characters (e.g.: " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing or displaying

problems.

MP3 CD

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

There is a difference in
sound quality between
the different audio
sources (radio, CD...).

For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble,

Ambience, 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 (Volume, Bass,

Treble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is advisable to set
the AUDIO functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear

Balance, Left-Right Balance) to the middle position,

select the musical ambience "None" and set the
loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD
mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.

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

recognised by the audio equipment.

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: consult the advice in the "Audio" section.

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

Due to their quality level, certain writeable
CDs will not be played by the audio system.

The message "USB

peripheral error" is
displayed on the screen.
The Bluetooth connection
is cut.

The battery of the peripheral may not be sufﬁ ciently charged.

Recharge the battery of the peripheral device.

The USB memory stick is not recognised.
The memory stick may be corrupt.

Reformat the memory stick.

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.

316

QUESTION

ANSWER

SOLUTION

The stored stations do
not function (no sound,

87.5 Mhz is displayed...).

An incorrect waveband is selected.

Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the
stations are stored.

The trafﬁ c announcement

(TA) is displayed. I do

not receive any trafﬁ c

information.

The radio station is not part of the regional trafﬁ c information network.

Tune to a radio station which broadcasts trafﬁ c

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 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 failure of the audio equipment.

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.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2 seconds in radio mode.

During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency

permitting better reception of the station.

Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.

With the engine off,

the audio equipment
switches off after a few
minutes of use.

When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time

depends on the battery charge.

The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode

and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.

Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery

charge.

The message "the audio

system is overheated"
appears on the display.

In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too

high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection

mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of

the CD.

Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
