When a traffic report is transmitted,
the current audio source is interrupted
automatically to play the TA message.
Normal playback of the audio source
resumes at the end of the transmission
of the message.

Radio reception may be affected by
the use of electrical equipment not
approved by CITROËN, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12 V socket.
The exterior environment (hills,
buildings, tunnel, car park, below
ground...) may prevent reception,
even in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and is in no
way indicative of a fault with the audio
system.

Recalling preset stations

RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies.
However, in certain conditions, coverage
of an RDS station may not be assured
throughout the entire country as radio
stations do not cover 100 % of the
territory. This explains the loss of
reception of the station during a journey.

DAB / FM auto tracking

Digital radio

"DAB" does not cover 100% of the
territory.
When the digital radio signal is poor,
"DAB/FM station tracking" allows you to
continue listening to the same station,
by automatically switching to the
corresponding "FM" analogue station
(if there is one).

If "DAB/FM station tracking" is
activated, there is a difference of a few
seconds when the system switches to
"FM" analogue radio with sometimes a
variation in volume.
When the digital signal is restored, the
system automatically changes back to
"DAB".

Digital radio provides higher quality
reception and also the graphical display
of current information on the radio
station being listened to. Select "List" in
the primary page.
The range of multiplexes available is
displayed in alphabetical order.

If the "DAB" station being listened to
is not available on "FM" ("DAB/FM"
option greyed out), or "DAB/FM station
tracking" is not activated, the sound
will cut out while the digital signal is too
weak.

or
Select "Radio list" in the secondary
page.

The system builds playlists (in temporary
memory), an operation which can take from
a few seconds to several minutes at the first
connection.
Reduce the number of non-music files and the
number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or on connection of a
USB memory stick. The lists are memorised: if
they are not modified, the subsequent loading
time will be shorter.

Insert the USB memory stick into the USB port
or connect the USB device to the USB port
using a suitable cable (not supplied).

Auxiliary socket (AUX)

This source is only available if the "Auxiliary
socket" option has been activated in the
