To achieve an optimum listening quality, the
audio adjustments (Volume, Bass, Treble,
Ambiance, Loudness) can be adapted to
each of the different sound sources, which
can produce audible shifts when you change
the source (radio, CD, CD changer etc.).
The CD is the wrong way up, is unplayable,
does not contain audio data or contains an
audio format that the radio cannot play back.
The CD is scratched or of poor quality.
The waveband selected is not the correct
one.
s
olution
Check that the audio adjustments (Vol-
ume, Bass, Treble, Ambiance, Loud-
ness) are adapted to your preferences
for each of the sources being listened
to.
Check that you have inserted the CD
the right way up in the CD player.
Check the condition of the CD: the CD
cannot be played back if it is too dam-
aged.
Check the contents if it is a burnt CD:
refer to the advice given in the chapter
on Audio system.
For reasons of poor quality, some
burnt CDs will not be played back by
the audio system.
The CD changer does not play back
DVDs.
The CD changer does not play back
MP3 CDs.
Insert only CDs of good quality and
keep them in good condition.
Press on the button BND to retrieve the
wave band (AM, FM, FM, FMAsT)
where the stations have been memo-
rised.

Questions and answers
how do you fit a new headlight washer
There is no specific guide for fitting a new headlight washer on a Citroën C5. However, the process may involve trial and error. You might be able to access the washer by removing the wheel and splash shield from the wheel arch. On the driver's side, the suspension tank and power steering components may be in the way. The washer ram (part number 6438P1) is the same for both sides, but the jets at the end have different part numbers.
