Touch screen BLUETOOTH audio system -> Media for Your Citroen C3 SUV Third Generation (2016-2024)

Touch screen BLUETOOTH audio system  
When the digital radio signal is poor, the  
"FM-DAB tracking" allows you to continue  
listening to the same station, by automatically  
switching to the corresponding "FM" analogue  
station (if there is one).  
Activating/Deactivating RDS Audio settings  
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue  
listening to the same station by automatically  
retuning to alternative frequencies.  
Press the "Radio Settings" button.  
In the list, select "Audio Settings".  
Activate/deactivate and configure the available  
options (sound balance, ambiances, etc.).  
In certain conditions, tracking 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.  
Press the "Radio Settings" button.  
The sound balance/distribution is audio  
processing that allows the quality of the  
sound to be adapted according to where the  
passengers are sitting in the vehicle.  
Activate "DAB-FM".  
If "FM-DAB tracking" is activated, there  
may be a difference of a few seconds  
when the system switches to "FM" analogue  
radio with sometimes a variation in volume.  
Once the digital signal quality is restored, the  
system automatically changes back to "DAB".  
Press the "Radio Settings" button.  
Activate/Deactivate "RDS options".  
DAB (Digital Audio  
Broadcasting) radio  
Terrestrial Digital Radio  
Playing TA messages  
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives  
priority to TA alert messages.  
If the "DAB" station being listened to is  
not available on "FM", or if the "FM-DAB  
tracking" is not activated, the sound will cut  
out while the digital signal is too weak.  
Choosing the DAB radio  
Terrestrial digital radio (DAB) provides higher  
quality reception.  
The different "multiplexes/ensembles" offer a  
choice of radio stations arranged in alphabetical  
order.  
To operate, this function needs good reception  
of a radio station that transmits this type of  
message. While traffic information is being  
broadcast, the current media is automatically  
interrupted so that the TA message can be  
heard. Normal play of the media previously  
playing is resumed at the end of the message.  
Press the "Radio Settings" button.

announcement (TA)".  
Press the "SOURCE" button.
