The route settings do not take account of TMC  
messages.  
► Configure the "Traffic info " function in  
the route settings list (Without, Manual or  
Automatic).  
► Wait until the system has started up  
completely so that there is GPS coverage by at  
least 4 satellites.  
Depending on the geographical environment  
(tunnel, etc.) or the weather, the conditions of  
reception of the GPS signal may vary.  
This behaviour is normal. The system is  
dependent on the GPS signal reception  
conditions.  
My navigation is no longer connected.  
During start-up and in certain geographical  
areas, the connection may be unavailable.  
► Check that the online services are activated  
(settings, contract).  
► Use the "intuitive method" by pressing  
the "Search…" button at the bottom of the  
"Navigation” page.  
The route calculation is not successful.  
The route settings may conflict with the current  
location (for example, if toll roads are excluded  
but the vehicle is on a toll road).  
► Check the route settings in the "Navigation"  
menu.  
I do not receive "Danger zone” alerts.  
You have not subscribed to the online services  
option.  
► If you have subscribed to the option:  
- a few days may elapse before the service is  
activated,  
- services may not be selected in the system  
menu,  
- online services are not active ("TOMTOM  
TRAFFIC" not shown on the map).  
The POIs do not appear.  
The POIs have not been selected.  
► Set the zoom level to 600 ft (200 m) or select  
POIs in the POI list.  
I receive a warning about a "Danger area"  
that is not on my route.  
As well as providing guided navigation, the  
system announces all "Danger areas" positioned  
in a cone located in front of the vehicle. It may  
provide an alert for "Danger areas" located on  
nearby or parallel roads.  
► Zoom the map to show the exact location  
of the "Danger area". You can select "On the  
route" to stop receiving warnings or decrease the  
warning duration.  
Radio  
Certain traffic jams along the route are not  
indicated in real time.  
The reception quality of the tuned radio  
station gradually deteriorates or the station  
presets are not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz  
is displayed, etc.).  
On starting, a few minutes may elapse before  
the system begins to receive traffic information.  
► Wait until traffic information is being received  
correctly (traffic information icons shown on the  
map).  
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s  
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the  
geographical area.  
The "Danger zone" audible warning feature is  
not working.  
The audible warning is not active or the volume  
is too low.  
► Activate the audible warning in the  
"Navigation" menu and check the voice volume  
in the sound settings.  
The system does not suggest a detour  
around an incident on the route.  
In certain countries, only major routes  
(motorways, etc.) are listed for the traffic  
information.  
This is perfectly normal. The system is  
dependent on the traffic information available.  
The altitude is not displayed.  
On starting, GPS initialisation may take up to  
3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites  
correctly.  
► Activate the "RDS" function by means of the  
short-cut menu to enable the system to check  
whether there is a more powerful transmitter in  
the geographical area.  
The aerial is missing or has been damaged  
(for example while entering a car wash or  
underground car park).  
► Have the aerial checked by a dealer.  
168  
CITROËN Connect Nav  
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,  
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,  
including in RDS mode.  
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is  
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.  
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of  
stations received.  
The name of the radio station changes.  
The station is no longer received or its name has  
changed in the list.  
Some radio stations send other information  
in place of their name (the title of the song for  
example).  
► Check that the CD is inserted in the player  
the right way up.  
The audio system is unable to process certain  
types of character.  
► Use standard characters to name tracks and  
folders.  
Playback of files in audio streaming mode  
does not start.  
The connected device does not automatically  
start playback.  
► Start playback from the device.  
The names of tracks and playing times  
are not displayed on the screen in audio  
streaming mode.  
The Bluetooth profile does not allow the transfer  
of this information.

► Check the condition of the CD: the CD cannot  
be played if it is too badly damaged.  
The CD has been burned in a format that is not  
compatible with the player (udf, etc.).  
► Check the content if it is a burned CD:  
consult the advice in the "AUDIO" section.  
► The audio system CD player does not play  
DVDs.  
The CD is protected by an anti-pirating system  
not recognised by the audio system.  
► Due to poor quality, certain burned CDs will  
not be played by the audio system.  
There is a long waiting period following the  
insertion of a CD or connection of a USB  
memory stick.  
The system reads a variety of data (folder, title,  
artist, etc.). This can take from a few seconds to  
a few minutes.  
This is perfectly normal.  
The CD audio quality is poor.  
The CD is scratched or of poor quality.  
► Insert good quality CDs and store them in  
suitable conditions.  
The system interprets these details as the station  
name.  
► Press the "Update list" button in the "Radio  
stations” secondary menu.  
Telephone  
I cannot connect my Bluetooth telephone.  
The telephone's Bluetooth function may be  
switched off or the telephone may not be visible.  
► Check that the telephone has Bluetooth  
switched on.  
Media  
Playback of my USB memory stick starts only  
after a very long wait (around 2 to 3 minutes).  
Some files supplied with the memory stick may  
greatly slow down access to reading the memory  
stick (multiplication by 10 of the cataloguing  
time).  
► Check in the telephone settings that it is  
"visible to all".  
► Deactivate then reactivate the telphone’s  
Bluetooth function.  
The audio settings (bass, treble, ambience) are  
unsuitable.  
► Return bass and treble settings to 0, without  
selecting an ambience.  
Some characters in the information about  
the media currently being played are not  
displayed correctly.  
► Delete the files supplied with the memory  
stick and limit the number of sub-folders in the  
file structure on the memory stick.  
The CD is systematically ejected or is not  
played.  
The CD is upside down, cannot be read, does  
not contain audio files or contains audio files of a  
format not recognised by the audio system.  
The Bluetooth telephone is not compatible with  
the system.  
You can check that your telephone is  
compatible on the Brand's website (services).  
The volume of the telephone connected in  
Bluetooth mode is inaudible.  
The volume depends on both the system and the  
telephone.  
169  
CITROËN Connect Nav  
► Increase the volume of the audio system, to  
maximum if required, and increase the volume of  
the telephone if necessary.  
Ambient noise affects the quality of the  
telephone call.  
► Reduce the ambient noise level (close  
windows, reduce ventilation, slow down, etc.).  
Some contacts are duplicated in the list.  
The options for synchronising contacts are:  
synchronise the contacts on the SIM card, the  
contacts on the telephone, or both. When both  
synchronisations are selected, some contacts  
may be duplicated.  
► Select "Display SIM card contacts" or  
"Display telephone contacts".  
The contacts are not listed in alphabetical  
order.  
Some telephones offer display options.  
Depending on the settings chosen, contacts can  
be transferred in a specific order.  
► Modify the telephone directory display  
settings.  
The system does not receive SMS.  
SMS text messages cannot be sent to the  
system in Bluetooth mode.  
► Modify the treble and bass or ambience  
settings to obtain the desired musical ambience.  
When the balance settings are changed, the  
distribution is deselected.  
When the distribution setting is changed, the  
balance settings are deselected.  
Selecting a distribution setting imposes the  
balance settings, and vice versa.  
► Modify the balance setting or the distribution  
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.  
There is a difference in sound quality  
between audio sources.  
To allow for optimal listening quality, the sound  
settings can be tailored to different audio  
sources, which can generate audible differences  
when changing source.  
► Check that the sound settings are appropriate  
to the sources listened to. We recommend  
setting the sound functions (Bass:, Treble:,  
Balance) to the middle position, setting the  
musical ambience to "None", setting loudness  
correction to "Active" in USB mode and "Inactive"  
in Radio mode.  
► In all cases, after applying sound settings,  
adjust the volume level on the portable device (to  
a high level) first. Then adjust the volume level  
on the audio system.  
When the engine is off, the system switches  
off after several minutes of use.  
The switch-off is normal: the system  
automatically goes into energy economy mode  
and switches off to maintain an adequate charge  
in the battery.  
► Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the  
charge of the battery.  
The date and time cannot be set.  
Setting of the date and time is only available  
if the synchronisation with the satellites is  
deactivated.  
► Settings menu / Options / Time-Date setting.  
Select the "Time" tab and deactivate the "GPS  
synchronisation" (UTC).  
Settings  
When the treble and bass settings are  
changed, the ambience is deselected.  
When the ambience is changed, the treble  
and bass settings are reset.  
When the engine is switched off, the system's  
operating time depends on the state of charge of  
the battery.  
Selecting an ambience imposes the treble and  
bass settings, and vice versa.
