An incorrect waveband is selected.
The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network.
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.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block
reception, including in RDS mode.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park).
During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station.
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.
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.

ANSWER SOLUTION
Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which
the stations are stored.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c
information.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a failure of the audio equipment.
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
