Question Answer solution
Trafc Announcements
(TA) is displayed. I do not
receive any trafc informa-
tion or public announce-
ments.
The particular radio station is not in the
regional trafc information network.
Change to a radio station that does
broadcast trafc information.
The reception quality of
the radio station being lis-
tened to gradually deterio-
rates.
The vehicle is too distant from the transmit-
ter, or no transmitter is present in the geo-
graphical area you are passing through.
Activate the RDS function to allow the
system to check whether a more pow-
erful transmitter is to be found in the
geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tun-
nels, underground car parks, etc.) is blocking
reception, even in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does
not imply anything wrong with the
radio.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged
(for example after going through a car wash
or in an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Cutting out of sound for
1 to 2 seconds in radio
mode.
The RDS system during this brief sound cut-
off is searching for a better frequency that
might offer improved reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phe-
nomenon occurs too frequently and
always on the same journey.
When the engine is not
running, the radio stops
after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the work-
ing time for the radio depends on the battery
charge. The interruption is normal: the radio
goes into economy mode, cutting off in order
to save the vehicle’s battery.
You have to start the engine so as to
increase the battery charge.
The message “the audio
system is overheating”
appears on the screen.
In order to protect the audio equipment in
excessive ambient temperatures, the radio
goes into an automatic thermic protection
mode which results in a reduction in sound
volume or stopping of the CD player.
Switch off the audio system for a few
minutes in order to allow the system to
cool down.
